I’m not going to get all into this, but with regard to the story of Chris Benoit, the wrestler who killed his wife, child and then himself in a fit of roid-rage, why was there ever any speculation about steriod usage? And even now that the toxicology reports have been released, which show that Benoit’s testosterone level had been fifteen times what is considered “normal” during the tragic incident, we have a reported statement from Dr. Kris Sperry, chief medical examiner for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation:

There’s no reliable scientific data that says elevated levels of testosterone lead to psychotic rage.

[…]

The only thing we can ascertain is that this level of testosterone indicates that he had been using testosterone at least in some reasonably short period of time before he died. It could be an indication he was being treated for testicular insufficiency.

Oh come on. This guy? ↓

Yeah, I guess it’s pretty likely that this guy ↑ was taking steriods for some other reason than to build those gigantic, unnatural muscles.

That statement, under these circumstances, is analogous to finding an overdosed heroin addict with high levels of “an opiate” in his system and noting that he might have been taking morphine for headaches.

I think that chris was a good wrestler and he did not need to take steriods if you ask me.

Roids did not cause him to kill his wife,son,nor himself he loved his family more than being in the ring.He was a good man that was murdered along with his Family.The people responsible will also meet the same fate.By the way quit blaming everything on roids and open your puny eyes to the BIG PICTURE PRICK.
