According to ESPN, World Wrestling Entertainment's (NYSE: WWE) CEO Vince McMahon was charged with conspiring to distribute steroids to his wrestlers.
Moreover, Phil Lowe, editor of WrestleMag.com, the largest wrestling Web site in the United Kingdom, said "Depending on what comes out from [Benoit's] toxicology reports, we could see changes implemented or at least changes called for."
Meanwhile, FoxNews reported that Benoit's Wikipedia was changed 13 hours before his wife's body was discovered by someone in Stamford, CT -- WWE's headquarters city. The Wikipedia site said that Benoit would not be able to make it to a wrestling match due to his wife's death.
WWE stock is down slightly today. If its writers were as creative as the reality that keeps coming out, the stock might be in better shape. It just keeps getting more and more bizarre!

Is this true about McMahon? That he was charged with distributing steroids to his wrestlers.
I had heard that there is a steroid ring. That they are trying to stop it.
