Kurt Angle Linked to Major Drug Scandal

Wednesday March 7, 2007
As everyone has probably heard by now, last week, multiple drug raids took place in Florida that have shaken the sports world to its core. As the days pass, more big names keep coming out as being linked to laboratories that sold "prescriptions" over the Internet. The latest name to be linked to this scandal is Kurt Angle. Sports Illustrated reports that Kurt received two prescriptions for trenbolone and one for nandrolone between October 2004 and February 2005. Both of these drugs are classified as steroids.

As wrestling fans may recall, last year Kurt was "medically suspended" by World Wrestling Entertainment and was released from the company shortly afterwards. He has since gone to TNA Wrestling, a company that does not have a public drug policy. A request made to TNA asking about their drug policy went unanswered.
