Orton breaks drug policy

[CrazySauce]

Randy Orton is the latest wrestler in a long line of wrestlers to violate the WWE's Wellness Program. Sources within WWE have confirmed that Randy Orton recently failed to meet the requirements to pass the WWE Wellness Program drug test. Also, WWE officials found over eight bottles of non-prescription Painkillers in Randy Orton's dressing bag at a recent event. Vince McMahon recently had a talk with talent from all three brands in which he warned them about the use of Painkillers. And if that isn't enough, it should be noted that Orton has tested positive for steriod use within the last two months.

Seeing how he will be a vital part of SummerSlam when he does battle with Hulk Hogan, it remains to be seen if WWE will punish him, thus complicating this important storyline. If action isn't taken, it will be highly unfair to Rob Van Dam, not to mention that it will look very bad in the eyes of the public.

Haha! WWE are waging a "war on drugs" against their own roster and they're getting fucked because of it. Stupid idiots with their wellness program drawing media criticism. They're as dumb as the US government.

Uuuuuuuuhh... Low blow!

Well that's quite a pickle. Not four days after getting rid of their champion because he was caught with pot, they've got a re-offender caught with pain killers. Will they sacrifice money and a storyline for their new found morals? will they fuck.

WWE are fools if they think they can change drug-using culture amongst their wrestlers. Pro wrestling's always been full of drugs. That's not gonna change anytime soon.

PS: This news could easily be bullshit though. What's the source?

I went to this shitty "wrestlenewz" site that you got the news from and it had this now posted-

More Details On Randy Orton's Violation

Apparently WWE have decided not to publicly punish Orton for violating the WWE Wellness Program. In addition to be fined $2,000, Vince McMahon will hire Orton a rehab consultant where he/she will travel on the road with Orton, due to the fact Orton will not be taken off WWE television.

Many stars are outraged at WWE officials and even Vince McMahon for not taking drastic action towards the situation. Paul Heyman is said to be the most outraged, due to the fact that RVD, the star of ECW was suspened for thirty days for something similar to this situation, however, Orton has not even been serverly punished.

One source within WWE commented "This is highly unfair to the entire roster that Orton was not suspened. It's going to make the wellness program look more like a joke because just about everything in WWE leaks online." It should also be noted that Hulk Hogan is the reason Orton didn't get suspened because he played peace-maker during the entire situation. He persuaded Vince to keep Orton, especially with the big Summerslam showdown coming in August.

So they get their news from meltzer and they just made it up.

Just about every profession has always been full of drugs.

WWE Drug Testing= Internet only.

Did Angle also get busted for violating the new drugs policy, and is now on a 30 day suspension as a result of it? i thought he was taking a hiatus to tend to nagging injuries.
