Scott Steiner and Triple H are confirmed given that steiner got into WWE without testing by telling them to test Triple H and him together or not at all. road warrior animal admitted it, as did sting and the ultimate warrior. there's no definitive list, but every serious wrestler and most enhancement talent in WWF before 1993 were on it, and there's no reason not to believe the same for everywhere else. i suspect you want a good source for a good reason but as for you, frick the hell off yourself, Coaaabauro, my damned brother

Yes I would like a list of pro wrestlers who have either 1) tested positive for a banned substance (not recreational drugs) or 2) admitted at least once that they took something in an interview or biography. No I don't want the wrestlers who 1) never said a word about their use even though their back looked like a cobblestone road and 2) snitched on other wrestlers doing that stuff, especially if they didn't admit it themselves. My reasons aren't really good at all, I just wanted to know if there was a wrestling fan anal enough to compile a list of this information, and if not, a "no" would have been fine. But "hurr hurr every wrestler ever was roiding" is just a useless, unhelpful comment when I wanted a real answer.

Well a majority of wrestlers probably did steroids, most wouldn’t really admit to it, so I guess your best bet is to find a list of all WWE wellness violations and start there.

I don’t know what you’re expecting from us here, the answer is “almost everyone” until somewhere around this last decade

It would be silly to think that everyone in the WWE isn't pressured to take steroids. There are many sources for this, of course, but Prescription Thugs provides some insight into how steroids and painkiller abuse are a way of life in the big leagues even for people who weren't doing it before.

Yes, but I can understand being curious about who all has fessed up and/or been caught doing so

Actually now I'm wondering about it myself, I would read the heck out of a wiki list w/ references saying who fessed up, denied, refused to comment, or got caught - yes I am a nerd

See, this is why I wanted a better answer: the joke response cuts off any further inquiry, eveyone laughs and moves on (which can be fine!). But then the one other wrestling nerd who may have had pertinent information doesn't want to speak up anymore because the consensus is that it was stupid question in the first place.

All the steroid hand wringing in the US is hilarious when you look at Mexico. Steroids are legal, you can get like four or five different kinds at your local pharmacy. Esfinge, a CMLL luchador is sponsored by a steroid company.

That being said steroids have some nasty side effects even if used under proper medical supervision

It's fair to assume that most professional athletes are on some form of gas, and that includes professional wrestlers. Some are just dumb enough to get caught. It's why the last Olympics threads were hilarious, by the way.

I turned on a Raw when I was home from college around 2007 after not watching WWE for several years. I saw the freaky torsos of Batista and Chris Masters and thought holy crap these roids are out of control.

He’s a republican who ran for some sort of office before and he supposedly applies that same insane energy to everything outside of wrestling so at the very least he’s probably not someone you’d want to discuss politics with

Thank you, that's actually something I did not know about before now and would definitely make me modify the underlying premise of my original question. Are there other nations that treat PED use like this and would that make America's handwringing the outlier?

It's prevalent in Japan, as well. There's a lot of jokes(?) about Dragon Gate basically running their own steroid ring out of their gym.

I think it's legal in Japan but requires a prescription. Maybe they have a contracted "ringside physician" who hands out scripts at the gym. I don't think the authorities really care as long as you're not participating in actual sports or competitions.

Yeah, sure. People are kinda down on it here because it's managed to give itself the optics of NXT's NXT over the past year, but if you're going to see a Matt Riddle match then Matt Riddle is almost guaranteed to give you a goodass match, he loves Evolve.
