Jerry McDevitt's gonna end up working a shit-ton of overtime now that this has hit the mainstream. |

It's made the NY Daily News too. Wiki tells me this is the 9th biggest circulation newspaper in the US (2016 figures) - caveat Wiki. |

Damn. This makes WWE look really bad considering how much they cater their booking to this guy.

Who knows if this guy is telling the truth or not. But it is hard to be surprised if a guy who previously failed a drug test purchased illegal drugs.

It's still a little bit too early to be pointing and laughing and dancing on Roman's grave.
I'm not saying he DIDN'T do it, but Rodriguez still has to prove it.

Yeah, remember when everyone was hitting the STEROID button hard when he failed Wellness and all it turned out to be was Adderall (not that that's much better, mind you, but I would rather someone NOT get busted for 'roids as I mentioned earlier in the thread)? |

Who knows if he is telling the truth, considering he's facing trial more facts will be revealed there. Although it's not good for WWE that this is hitting mainstream media. |

Well f***, they gotta do something now. It's only suspension 2 though, big whoop. Ride out the next year and a half clean and ubgot it back in the bank.

At first I thought this was Ricardo Rodriguez as well, an thought, steroids were traded in a wrestling locker room, whatever. But reading the article, this could really be the thing that kills Roman as the face of the company for good.

I know nothing of this story so I read the thread as Ricardo Rodriguez saying it. My mind called him Rico Rodriguez, because I've been playing way too much Just Cause 3. Great now I'm seeing Manny from Modern Family smuggling drugs. (cut to the couch in the Pritchett-Delgado house) MANNY: I wasn't getting any action with the ladies, even though I recited complete poetry books and tried to wow them with my performance in Swan Lake. So I did what a real man would do. Steroids! And Ricardo, seconding Alberto for all that time, would know about transporting drugs, wouldn't he? |

I still don't know if he's lying. Like, why use Roman of all people? He could've easily said Cena, who is the number one guy, but Roman?

I'm not trying to be an apologist or excuse-maker for Roman at all, don't get me wrong. I just don't like being part of the pre-emptive mob. |

Yeah, honestly, I'll believe something is coming from this when something does. This is just an allegation, and even beyond that when it came to the Lesnar thing where there was definitive proof their response was, "He needs to smash Orton's brains in to regain his aura," rather than easing the guy back or having him take a loss or something.

Well these are guys he supposed to have given them these so Cena may not been a guy he knew on that level if Cena was in fact not clean which that just a name like saying anybody elses. Reigns is enough of a name as for as WWE center stage with Cena part time as it is and Reigns could be the guy he did in fact dealt with. I mean I'm sure this guy isn't the only guy to ever give it. He just one to been caught. We will see how things pans out if any of this is true. If it is true Reigns and the WWE will look bad and keep in mind Reigns had been suspended once before with not passing a test. Cena never had that issue. |

I get that pretty much nobody believes it was really Adderall, but officially, that's what his first failure was for. |

Anything short of a video of Roman sticking a needle in his ass isn't going to make WWE act on this. The story will reach a point where they'll release a statement that's 99% fluff talking up their Wellness policy and 1% saying Roman is clean, people who want proof will remain on the side of not believing it, some people will scoff at the Wellness policy being invoked after Brock got dinged by USADA and WWE just shrugged because it opens some very clear doors for exceptions and f***ery, and ultimately nothing will happen in the long run.
