Dr. Phil Astin was charged today for improperly prescribing painkillers and steroids over the time of April 2004 and September 2005.
Astin was the family doctor of the Benoits.
This arrest and possible conviction is similar to that of Dr George T. Zahorian who was busted in 1991 for illegal distribution of steroids to professional wrestling. The FBI ended up indicting Vince McMahon on similar charges but he was found 'not guilty' in 1994.
This current situation may or may not bring McMahon to as much trouble as the early 1990's but it surely does prove that the WWE's Wellness Policy is nothing but a sham that can be beaten.
And that's a cause for concern.
