It's pro rasslin' who cares what goes on there other than the storylines and action?
To try and bring real life into it, why?
Because pro wrestlers used live into their dotage and die of old age. Now they seem to die at 45, similar to many former NFL linemen.

Ben Johnson's still alive and he's about 70? He was on Stanolozol most of his great career
Ben Johnson is 54, idiot.
Also, UFC rules call for an athlete being in the testing pool for some period of time before competing. UFC waived it for him as I understand it. Not exactly starting off on a good foot.
Just got officially suspended (temporarily) by UFC.http://sports.yahoo.com/news/brock-lesnar-temporarily-suspended-ufc-165723645.htmlHe bloodied up Randy Orton at WWE Summerslam, in a too-real UFC-like finish (elbows to the face, necessitating 10 staples), that left many wondering whether he had gone off-script.
Lesnar will continue to wait and see what the investigation turns up. Jon Jones, who is going through the same process at the moment, claims that he’ll be getting good news coming out of his investigation. Although the two failures for both men don’t appear to bode well, there are always loopholes and exceptions that can be found.
Kind of stupid that he'll keep the purse money (UFC) no matter what, but I guess that's showbiz.
Lesnar reportedly tested positive for an anti-estrogen agent, which is also what Jon Jones reportedly tested positive for when he was pulled from UFC 200. UFC does not plan to fine either fighter and will let the USADA have the first (and last) word in handing down punishment.
If you like, you can compare UFC’s treatment of Lesnar and Jones to their treatment of Pat Healy in 2013. Healy tested positive for marijuana, after which UFC took away his win bonus, fight of the night bonus and submission bonus. Unlike Lesnar and Jones, Healy was not a millionaire at the time of his failed test and punishment.
There's hope for reduced time on the UFC front.
What could be the reasoning behind all of this sudden optimism? Well, it turns out that Hydroxy-clomiphene is technically considered a “specified substance†under the World Anti-Doping Agency Code and not “banned substance†as was originally believed when the two were handed out their temporary suspensions. According USADA code, “there is a greater likelihood that these (specified) substances could be susceptible to a credible non-doping explanation.â€
And not only that, but the other substance Jones tested positive for (Letrozole metabolite, an aromatase inhibitor that may or may not have been caused by Cialis) is also considered a specified substance, and therefore, not punishable under the same guidelines as a regular anti-doping violation.
There is one caveat in all this good news, in that both Lesnar and Jones will be facing separate suspensions and fines from the Nevada Athletic Commission at their hearings later this year which don’t have to adhere to any of USADA’s rulings or guidelines. There is no set date for either Jones or Lesnar’s hearings as of now, but we’ll make sure to keep you informed as this story develops.
