Benoit Shot Up His 7 Year Old Boy

The wheels fell off this guy's wagon a long time ago.

From the NY daily News:

Tiny son got illegal boosts?

Wrestler was juicing boy with growth-hormone drug - official

...
Pro wrestler Chris Benoit apparently was pumping human-growth hormone into his 7-year-old son in the weeks before he killed his wife, the boy and himself at their suburban Atlanta home while consumed by "roid rage," a prosecutor said yesterday.

More Here plus some photos.

We are reaching back to make Baron Miguel Sicluna (From the Isle of Malta) our true wrestling hero. ;)

WWE's Jillian Hall Calls Benoit Disgusting - DEA Raids Benoit's Doctor's Office

Remember, we were one of the first to condemn Benoit to fucking hell. We hope he is eating pus sandwiches in Hades. ;)


From PWTorch:

Jillian wrote the following on her MySpace page:


"Well, by now the whole world knows of the horrible news that took place this week. With all of the comments and messages from people saying how sorry they are for our loss, I figured I would speak in general. I am 100% in agreeance with WWE and Mr. McMahon on completely erasing all tributes to Chris Benoit. While he had always been nice and polite to me and most of the WWE talent, what he did is completely disgusting and unforgiveable! This man who could have been a legend has demolished his reputation. My heart goes out to Nancy and the adorable Daniel and the family and friends they left behind!"


Drug Agents Raid Dr. Office Who Prescribed Medication to WWE Wrestler Chris Benoit

...The office of Dr. Phil Astin was raided overnight with agents confiscating computers. Dr. Astin has told the Associated Press that he had prescribed testoserone for the wrestler in the past and had seen him on Friday. ...

If this "roid range" nonsense were true, half of professional sports would be in friggin prison.

I just stumbled on this Wrestling blog, not to bad:

Chris Benoit Saw Doctor Before

Murders:

Excerpt From the AP:

Benoit had been under the care of Dr. Phil Astin, a longtime friend, for treatment of low testosterone levels. Astin said the condition likely originated from previous steroid use.

Astin prescribed testosterone for Benoit in the past but would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed the day of their meeting.

"He was in my office on Friday to stop by just to see my staff," Astin said. "He certainly didn't show any signs of any distress or rage or anything."

WWE News: Benoit's son Daniel had Fragile X syndrome

Benoit kept it private
By Wade Keller, Torch editor
Jun 26, 2007, 22:18
FROM PWTORCH - LINK TO FULL ARTICLE

A woman tells News 1130 in Vancouver, B.C. that Chris Benoit's son Daniel had a condition called Fragile X syndrome. Wikipedia describes the symptoms:

Aside from intellectual disability (mental retardation), prominent characteristics of the syndrome include an elongated face, large or protruding ears.......

The woman interviewed for the News 1130 story says her family was in contact with the Benoits, but they didn't want to go public with the disease and chose to keep things low profile. .........

Fragile X Article.

W.K. Analysis: This may explain why Daniel was taking growth hormone injections. It also may shed light onto why Chris didn't want someone else raising his son and made the fateful decision to kill him. ..........

More on Chris Benoit

From Slam Wrestling:

Column: Benoit a coward, not a hero
By TIM BAINES - Ottawa Sun

Chris Benoit was a wrestling legend.

He was a champion, a warrior whose tenacity and dedication made him one of wrestling’s greatest technicians. He was a husband and a father. And now it looks like he was a killer, too.

They gave this piece of shit a hero's send off on Raw last night?!? They should have been removing all mention of him from the WWE web site.

I just read a rumor that the wife murdered the son and it sent Benoit over the edge and he killed her. If this is true, then he is a hero. Let's wait and see. My fingers are crossed.

WWE Wrestler Chris Benoit and Family Found Dead

This just hit me like a ton of bricks:

FROM WWE.COM Chris Benoit, family found dead

STAMFORD, Conn., June 25, 2007 – World Wrestling Entertainment was informed today by authorities in Fayetteville County, Ga., that WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son were found dead in their home. Authorities are investigating, but no other details are available at this time.

Instead of its announced programming for tonight on USA Network, WWE will air a three-hour tribute to Chris Benoit.

Chris was beloved among his fellow Superstars, and was a favorite among WWE fans for his unbelievable athleticism and wrestling ability. He always took great pride in his performance, and always showed respect for the business he loved, for his peers and towards his fans. This is a terrible tragedy and an unbearable loss.

WWE extends its sincere condolences and prayers to the Benoit family and loved ones in this time of tragedy.
