Benoit Toxicology Reports Say What??

As you probably already know, last month Benoit murdered his wife and son and then committed suicide. Since then the rumours of "Roid-Rage" have been rife. Yesterday the toxicology reports were announced and I have spent the past 2 or 3 hours trying to find out what they actually said.

The majority of websites have a headline saying how Benoit was on steroid when he murdered his family and then about four or five websites said he wasn't on steroids but on a combination of prescription drugs including Hydrocodone a painkiller and Xanax an anti-anxiety drug.

So what is the actual truth? Well it seems that Benoits testosterone level was 10 times what it should be which states he was also injecting testosterone and www.wrestlemag.com eventually cleared it up for me.

"The doctor in charge of World Wrestling Entertainment’s Wellness Policy, Dr. Black, once went on the record as saying that testosterone is an anabolic steroid, going against WWE’s current stance, which is the subject of continued scrutiny after yesterday’s toxicology results in the Chris Benoit tragedy.

In 2005, Dr. Black appeared on 60 Minutes II to discuss a story about NFL players who were taking banned substances. When asked if he considered testosterone to be a steroid, Black was quoted as saying, “Yes. Testosterone is the, ah, original base chemical, or the starting chemical for all the anabolic steroids.“" (http://www.wrestlemag.com/news/index.php?p=6454)

So there we have it, Benoit was taking testosterone an ingredient in steroids and because one doctor has announced he considers testosterone to be a steroid that must mean he's right and therefore no matter what anyone else says the big bad steroids were to blame!

To post or not to post

Maybe I'm giving up to easily, but after having nearly 150 readers so far I still have no reocurring readers, which means I have nobody who likes what I have to say enough that they keep coming back. I'm gettin bored of blogging, it's not as easy at it looks to come up with something to say all the time, and up to now I haven't had a single comment left :-(

Anyway I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself and post something that at least I find interesting ;-)

Firstly I've just read that despite newspapers and an attorney for World Wrestling Entertainment saying that Benoit may of killed his family because of arguements over care for his mentally and physically disabled son, there is no evidence of a disability. Benoit's family knew nothing about it, and Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard refutes these allegations he says that Daniel did not suffer from Dwarf Syndrome or Fragile X Syndrome! An unknown source with access to Daniels medical reports has also said that there was no mention of any mental or physical illness in Daniels medical records.
Which brings the question back to what flipped Benoit over the edge causing him to kill his wife and son, if in fact he did do it.

Madeleine's parents made a press appeal yesterday telling her abductors that it is not too late to return her. Kate was quoted as saying "it is not too late to give her back"
The hoax theory is still on going on the Mirror forums.

Benoit - Another Update - Somebody Knew??

In the last few hours it has been announced that some 14 hours (approx 1am Monday morning) before authorities discovered the bodies of Chris, Nancy and their 7-year-old-son Daniel on Monday, someone altered Benoit's page on Wikipedia to say the wrestler missed a match two days earlier because of his wife's death.

The writer has claimed it was a coincidence and a guess here "I feel incredibly bad for all the attention this got because of the fact that what I said turned out to be the truth. Like I said it was just a major coincidence, and I will never vandalize anything on wikipedia or post wrongful information. I've learned from this experience. I just can't believe what I wrote was actually the case, I've remained stunned and saddened over it"

I personally think that its too much of a coincidence as the IP address has been tracked to a computer in Stamford, CT (the site of WWE headquarters) apparently (I say apparently as only one newspaper has said this)other WWE edits have been linked to the same IP address including confidential information about Chavo Guerrero.

Did someone know about the death before or was it all a huge coincidence, if someone knew that person could of possibly prevented Benoit's suicide, which leads to more conspiracy theories.

Benoit - Update

The WWE Chairman issued a "non-apology" on Tuesday for the three hour show dedicated to the life of Benoit. After finding out the facts they took down all tributes from the website.

After the autopsies this week official say they think Benoit killed his son in a choke hold, they have said there was no bruising around his neck so from a process of ellimination this is what they come up with, seems to me that they want to blame wrestling as much as they can, as I can personally think of other things where (as far as I know) there would be no bruising, for example using a pillow??

WWE have dismissed theories of "Roid Rage" as they thing the murders were too thought out, with them lasting the whole weekend and the bodies having bibles placed next to them the WWE have said that this is an indication steriods were not used.

Wrestler Benoit and Family found dead

My responce to the headline "WWE Wrestler Chris Benoit, Wife and Son Found Dead" was one of huge shock!

It's a little known fact to my friends but I am a huge WWE fan, me and my husband went to watch Raw just over a year ago, I mourned at the death of Eddie Guerrero, and yesterday another great was lost.

On Saturday Chris Benoit was due to participate in Smackdown in Texas, but he did now show, he said he could not make the show because of personal reasons. Dissapointed fans were assured by WWE that Benoit would be at Sunday nights "Vengance" a pay-per-view event, but yet again Benoit was a no show. This time when WWE officials got in touch with the star he said that his wife and son had food poisoning and were throwing up, and on Monday after recieving contact through several text messages that stated his home address in Fayetteville, about 20 miles south of Atlanta and recieving one message from Benoit's phone that said: "The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open," police were alerted. When deputies arrived at Benoit's house at about 2:30 p.m. yesterday, they found the bodies of Benoit, his wife Nancy, and his son Daniel.

The case is currently being investigated as a double murder and suicide case, police have said Benoit killed his wife and son sometime at the weekend and then killed himself yesterday.

The Washington Post has reported "Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with a weight-machine pulley, authorities said Tuesday. Authorities offered no motive for the killings, which were spread out over the weekend and discovered Monday. No suicide note was found."

However the police are investigating into whether Benoit went into a rage caused by prolonged steroid usage. Investigators found anabolic steroids in the house and want to know whether "The Rabid Wolverine" was unhinged by the bodybuilding drugs, which can cause paranoia, depression and explosive outbursts. Police are looking into this as the cause as Benoit was known for his "wholesome family-man image" a reason several thousand WWE fans are posting their views on websites.

Many people cannot believe that Benoit would do such a thing, and the consipicy theories have already started. Some people think that someone was in his home the whole weekend and made him send the messages before killing him and making it look like suicide, others have said they think its a drug deal gone wrong. Whatever happened only three people know for sure.
