Am I nuts, or does it feel like guys have REALLY been talking about the Wellness Policy and how "totally super strict and for real it is, guys" lately? Did something go down? I mean, I'm vaguely aware of some sort of lawsuit? Coachman said on ESPN Radio last week that almost the entire roster was doing HGH when he was there. And they don't even test for HGH, right? There's always been difficulty around that because the body produces HGH when you're recovering from injury or in the gym a lot, 2 conditions that apply to pretty much every wrestler to an extent.

I thought they only got tested at Raws and because of how quick it leaves your system that Tuesdays were "coke night"

To be honest, did NFL, etc, set the bar all that high?

Is Miz now a member of the SAG due to his film roles?
If so, he should be happy. Must be nice for a wrestler to be part of a union.
Hell I'd take any shitty role to get that if I were in his place.

That's what Mick did, getting SAG membership by taking what roles he could for the insurance package, which is apparently lucrative for a wrestler for obvious reasons.

So stringent they changed the rules to keep Randy Orton employed and have a guy like Triple H who'll likely main event wrestlemania who's exempt from the rules and has been since the time of Scott Steiner.

From what I have heard it is exceptionally hard if not impossible to test for.

HGH can be tested for, but it requires blood tests.
That said, HGH is one of those enhancers that tends to evolve pretty quickly in terms of what dealers are selling to people, so testers often have a hard time keeping up.

Plus it's the only way wrestlers get time off without being injured. Like I remember in CM Punk's podcast he was excited over the possibility of being in a WWE Film so he gets some time off

Failing a wellness test for a Sudafed to me is more of a problem than a good thing. The Wellness Policy should only apply to steroids and recreational drugs.
I don't think it's right that a company that pushes its workers to have a "presentable" physique can punish people for using a thermogenic from their local GNC.

There was no official drug testing policy with a stated set of rules when Steiner was with WWE during 2002-04 as the WP didn't start until 2006. There was drug testing with rules and punishments during Steiner's first WWE run back in the 1990s, but that was dropped in 1996 when the company was cutting costs.

Sudafed is used in the manufacturing of meth I'm sure that's part of why it shows up on a test.

It's also why sudafed and many cold medicines are no longer sold on the shelf and are now behind the pharmacy counter.

There was no offical wellness policy, just a highly questionable system of 'random' drug tests. According to Steiner himself, he was selected and he said 'fine, Triple H and I can take the test together' and was never asked to take a drug test again.

According to Steiner himself, he was selected and he said 'fine, Triple H and I can take the test together' and was never asked to take a drug test again. Yes, I know. I was pointing out the fact Triple H couldn't be exempt from official drug testing rules in 2002 because no such rules existed in 2002. He, Steiner, and anyone else could take or refuse a drug test, and WWE was free to do anything or nothing at all about it. Now, that's not the case. There's an official policy that has been made available to the public, so there are now rules that the performers and the company itself are either following or violating. Also, the drug testing wasn't random at all during the 1996-2006 period. Specific wrestlers were tested for specific reasons. Brian Pillman, for example, got drug tested for painkillers more than other wrestlers were.

I know some hockey players have been busted for cold medicines,even if they just have a cold, because some are masking agents.
