I found the press briefing to be absoutely hilarous. the doctor was breathing heavily throughout. and the press kept hammer at him to give them something to run with their roid rage story.
Yet he kept saying all they found was high levels of testosterone, along with other drugs. . the Reporters though don't quit, minutes later they'd ask the same thing just worded differently. The doctor was looked so frustrated having to repeat himself. I'm guessing he doesn't do press briefings that much.
yes testosterone is a steroid. But I'm willing to bet most people don't realize that it is a the steroid group consists of many hormones, estrogen is classified as a steroid.
people just hear the word steroids and think its the anabolic kind.

You realize that you only bolded the parts where it talks about AAS, not the ones that say it probably is not.
And, what the media fails to realize, injectable test, particuarily testosterone propiagte, which he injected, does not cause increased aggression (roid rage is pretty much a myth), in fact it causes severe lethargy and decreased libdo.
I'd look to the other prescription drugs and mental diseases first.

So did all the knocks to Benoit's head cause brain damage that led to his irrational behavior and murders/suicide?

I think this is gonna cause repercussions in pro football.
It's well known that many of those guys suffer a lot of concussions, and the resulting behavioral problems are being discovered and discussed.
It's been an issue in pro football for about a year, this will likely accelerate the attention given to it.

seems like the brain damage caused a lot of problems. from demantia and depression.
I take back the nasty things i said about him. The WWE should have been having them talk to counselers if he exhibited such behavior.
such a sad story.
As someone posted i wonder if the NFL and WWE ,well any sport that have concussions on regulare bases, will do anything about it

ATLANTA -- Channel 2 Action News has learned exclusive details of the entries in wrestler Chris Benoit's diary.
His father's attorney believes the wrestler's writings show signs of dementia and depression years before Benoit killed his wife, child and himself.
The photocopied first page of the diary is inscribed, 'To Christopher from Nancy,' with the date November 25, 2005.
All the handwritten entries are addressed to Eddie Guerrero, a close wrestling friend of Benoit's, who died in 2005 of an enlarged heart.
"He was upset, very upset, about Eddie's death. He says in a number of places how much he loved Eddie and what dear friends they were. He also says at one point that, 'I will be with you soon,' so it appears as though he was having some thoughts about his own mortality," said Carry Ichter, Benoit's father's attorney.
The entries also speak of Benoit's love and admiration for his wife, Nancy, and son, Daniel -- both of whom he killed in the weekend of June 22.
He spoke of the exhaustion, drudgery and loneliness of the road, but did not describe abusing drugs.
"It's plain that he was depressed. It's plain that he was beginning to exhibit some of the signs of the dementia that's associated with the brain injuries he sustained because he talks in there about not being able to remember things," said Ichter. "Chris, at the end had become intensely paranoid, to the point that he would not take the same route to the airport on a consistent basis, to the point that he would not allow the family outside of the house."
The diary was found in the trash outside Benoit's Fayetteville home shortly after the deaths.
Ichter, who has known Benoit for years, is now representing his father in the legal process which will decide who is heir to Benoit's multi-million dollar estate -- his children from a prior marriage or the family of his wife, Nancy. They left no will.

1. Who cares if some doctor got sent to jail for prescribing drugs to people illegally? Not post-worthy; hardly news-worthy. This is similar to if you were to post "Heath Ledger's former hairdresser found guilty of aggravated assault!" Who cares?
2. It's entirely a coincidence that he happened to be Chris Benoit's doctor and posting a link in this thread is misleading because it makes it seem (at first) like the drugs actually led to the murders.
