Angle? Steroids? No way! How can this be?

What do you mean? Steroids are illegal in the US period unless you have a prescription. WWE allows wrestlers to use them if it is for medical reasons and they have a prescription unlike a lot of other sports.

Here is a small piece from a follow up on this investigation...

Here is a follow up on the story posted earlier about Angle being linked to steroids in a sting focused on the Palm Beach Rejuvenation Center. Angle was one of many star athletes named in the sting as clients of the center.

Dave Meltzer reports that Angle failed a steroid test for nandralone (decadurabolin) prior to being released by WWE last year. At the time, WWE suspended Angle for 30 days and he and WWE later had a falling out, opening the door for him to go to TNA. Nandralone is one of the drugs that the report claims Angle got through the center between October 2004 and February 2005.

If Angle was using the drugs, it may not have been illegal since he had a prescription for them. The only legal reason to prescribe steroids is for medical reasons and most athletes (and wrestlers) could get prescriptions for steroids, claiming they use them to rehabilitate injuries. Of course, WWE allows its wrestlers to use steroids for medical reasons, something other sports organizations and worldwide competitions (ie the Olympics) don't allow.

Kurt Angle is also being mentioned in the Associated Press story that will likely appear in many newspapers and other media outlets throughout the week. TNA or WWE are not mentioned in the stories as the article mainly plays up the fact that he won an Olympic Gold Medal.

I still haven't figured out what this guy really has to do with MMA.

[Warchief]

He should be investigate....and give him a right punishment (if he's guilty), being a roid user is totaly normal for a pro wrestlers, so im not shock in kurt's situation....it's nothing new.
