The WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) has suspended Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio for a period of 30 days, starting from September 2, 2009. The suspension was the result of a violation of WWE’s wellness policy.
It has been speculated that steroid use can be the reason behind Mysterio’s suspension. However, the speculations relating to drug testing by WWE on Mysterio has been turned down by some sources.
From US.WWE.COM:
In accordance with WWE’s Wellness Program, effective Wednesday, September 2, Oscar Gutierrez (Rey Mysterio) is suspended for 30 days for a violation of the company’s policy.
Rey Mysterio, whose real name is Oscar Guiterrez, has however denied using steroids to gain an advantage in the fierce competition. However, the fact that he was identified as a customer of the tainted Dr. Phil Astin III has led to beliefs that he may be tried for using steroids in the WWE. It is noteworthy to note here that Mysterio’s name was also highlighted in a SI report in 2007 when he was accused of allegedly receiving steroid prescriptions for Nandrolone and Stanozolol.
The suspension can ruin the career of Rey, if the WWE decides to strip him off his intercontinental championship belt. Ray is expected to defend his title against Dolph Ziggler at Breaking Point pay-per-view in next month. But if the current events are to be considered then he may end up giving it to Ziggler.
Mysterio’s fans are just hoping that their favorite hero does not add to the list of professional wrestlers who used anabolic steroids or performance enhancing drugs for staying ahead in the competition.
