Warrior Interview Notes and calls WWE's drug testing a "ruse"

Posted: Jul 4th 2007 By: mikeiles

Warrior finally joined ?Hannity and Colmes? on Tuesday night.

Here is a recap:

- Warrior said steroids are used in the wrestling industry, all the way through. He said it?s easier to point out which guys aren?t on steroids as compared to which wrestlers that are on steroids.

- ?I did use steroids,? said Warrior. He said he has always been honest about it. He said there is a difference between use and abuse.

- Warrior said using steroids is a sacrifice that wrestlers make to make it the business. ?I don?t think taking steroids is bad,? said Warrior. He is all for personal freedom.

- ?I?m not here to make excuses for this monster,? said Warrior regarding Benoit.

- "The drug test is a ruse. It's an artifice specifically designed for the sensationalized, high-profile tragedies when people come forward and they make reasonable allegations that the talent is using drugs. It's this simple for me. For me to believe that the drug tests on the live bodies are legit, I have to believe all the autopsies on the dead bodies are lies,? said Warrior.

- Warrior goes back to the use vs. abuse argument. He said a lot of classic bodybuilders took steroids and they are still alive today.

- Warrior said guys die in the industry because they don?t leave healthy lives over all.

- Warrior attributed the Benoit case more to prescription medication rather than steroids.

- He said that he did know Benoit. Warrior said there is no excuse for this guy.

- Warrior went on a rant about athletes that write books about people that use steroids and about kids in high school using steroids.

- Warrior said ?No, I do not think so,? when asked if he believed steroids played in factor in the Benoit case.
