[News Update] Rep. Cliff Stearns Comments on WWE Drug Scandal

In a recent interview with NYDailyNews.com, U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) recently commented on WWE's actions of suspending wrestlers in the company. Stearns didn't have many kind words in response to the action by WWE adding quote, "The WWE does not have a drug policy that's worth a flip. Because the WWE didn't catch them, the district attorney in (Albany) New York investigated and found them. If those are all from Signature Pharmacy, I'd like to know how many other pharmacies might be involved."

Stearns also commented further on how he felt WWE didn't provide Congress with enough information about their current drug testing policy adding, "We asked them for their testing information; what they came back with was not sufficient. We do not have a copy (of the actual testing policy). We didn't understand whether it was random, what the threshold (level for drugs) was, whether any of these wrestlers were getting post-dated prescriptions after the fact."
