The Week in Review November 20 – 26
Sunday November 27, 2005
Top Story:
WWE Announces New Drug Policy
A few days after Eddie Guerrero was found dead in a hotel room, Eugene was found passed out in a hotel lobby in Manchester, England. The cause of this was his use Somas and other prescription medicine. He has been indefinitely suspended and will spend the next two weeks in a drug rehab facility.
In light of these two incidents, Vince McMahon addressed the locker room and announced a new drug policy. They will test for recreational drugs, performance enhancing drugs, and abuse of prescription medicine on a random basis. The details of the program are still being worked out. The only detail known is that it will be conducted by an outside agency and Vince McMahon has said everyone will be treated equally.
