Benoit Had Steroids in His System

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says steroids were found in the body of pro wrestler Chris Benoit, who killed his wife and young son last month before hanging himself.

Benoit's wife Nancy had "therapeutic levels" of Xanax and hydrocodone -- a generic Vicodin -- in her system when she died.

Investigators said they did find extremely elevated levels of testosterone in his bloodstream -- enough to say that Benoit was using the hormone when he died. They claim this is evidence that the wrestler was injecting himself with the steroid.

62. Tragedy, what the wife and child went through all those years and what he went through trying to make a buck, all about all that money and what we will do to get it.
The scientists and so-called professionals have no idea what is past their little brains, they have no idea what drugs, steroids, etc. will do coupling that with a violent lifestyle and this is what you get in the extreme cases.
The brain, metabolism, the body are all complicated circuitry that when short circuited with drugs will malfunction and lead to severe depression, suicide, rage and killing-violent acts.
Time to wake up America, the world, stop believeing the so called professionals when they have no idea what they are talking about. Psychiatrists, Medical Doctors, Psychologists, Counselors and the like all should and must be held accountable for pushing drugs on an unwary public then; when something like this happens thay all run and hide behind their hypocratic oath and their professional opinions which do not add up too a hill of beans. They are hypocrrits! When we start taking the real culprits to task in all these senseless deaths then and only then will we be making a stab at the root causes of mental illness and putting a stop to the so called legal pushers that are killing and destroying people around the world.
We should be outraged wh t Doctors, the WWE or whatever you call it, violence, illegal drug use, prosecute them all to the fullest extent of the law, place the blame where it truly belongs.
Case after case after case, Anna Nicole Smith along with Howard Stern and Dr. E.just look at that case, two deaths, drugs and money. The lady that drowned her five children in the tub suffering from post-partum depression, supposedly being treated with psychotic drugs prescribed by so called professionals. Are their any Doctors serving time for these crimes along with the people they drugged up? Not one!
WAKE UP!!!!!

63. this is what you call a straight up LIE. im ashamed that people actually believe this garbage. its the buzz of the day people... no "steroids" were found in Benoits body... i would love to see a national apology from all news stations that jumped on the buzz word bandwagon... sadly that wont happen as they have moved onto another buzz. you people should be ashamed of yourself for believing everything you hear and read without research...

64. Wech said on greta last night he thinks they need to look closer at nancys alcchol level of course he was cut off
things in this mess just dont add up
investigators wont release autopsy reports as this is still being investigated if they are so sure what happened why is it still under investigation
detective also stated they are sending d&a to be tested somewhere
whos D&A and why now is it being tested
they have chris nancy and daniels already so what samples are they sending out
if they are so sure what happened why are un known samples being sent out?
text messages said the dogs were locked in the pool room
statements are that they were running around and thats why initially no one could get in
some statements say they found benoit sitting??
no finger prints have been identified?
he had 0 alcohol level who drank all the booze?
its said he was obsessed with wrestling so why would he miss a match that would crown him champion?
Somebody knows somwthing and isnt telling
Who was the last to speak to Nancy was she drunk?
was she upset?
did the property have cameras on it?
if he bound her than certainly there would be prints on the materials used the booze would have prints on them the weights would have prints on them
again what d&a are they sending out??
Not such a cut and dry case when they continue to investigate
The hope was that he would be full of anabolic steroids to back up all the recent stories but that has been some what taken back now
could the drugs she took along with booze have serious side affects??
is it possible that something so horrible went on in his home that he snapped??
reports are that their home was in order etc
why would they leave empty booze all over
fact is he didnt drink it so who left it all laying around??
Is this the first time the child had been sedated??
were the levels from a 1 time dose??
maybe the psychic detectives could go in cant hurt any thing right
the whole thing is horrible but lets hear all the facts
