The defamation of Chris Benoit?

Unfortunately, the circumstances surrounding the Chris Benoit incident are exactly what I feared they would be: Benoit killed his wife, son, and then himself, or so the AP would have us believe. Sad circumstances and condolences all around.

Then, of course, the second paragraph is about steroids. Immediately, some genius at the AP rushes to blame the tragedy on steroids.

Steroids are never linked to Pacman Jones, Chris Henry, Tank Johnson, or any other unnaturally large athlete who does something stupid and criminal. Steroids were never mentioned when OJ killed his wife. Or Rae Carruth shooting his pregnant girlfriend. Or the rash of NFL football players going psycho and killing themselves and others (nope, that’s concussions, and professional wrestlers, who land on their head for a living, NEVER get concussions). Albert Belle trying to run trick-or-treaters down with his car and stalking his ex-girlfriend? Not steroids, either.

Why are steroids the first thing mentioned when a normal sized person who happens to be professional wrestler (5’11, 220… smaller than me, so I must be on steroids! Put down the juice, Rich, or you’ll kill and eat your whole family!) commits a horrible act? Steroids are not related to this issue at all, and it’s an unnecessary shot at a dead man to even postulate that theory, considering the WWE has random drug tests in place (before baseball, even).

Chris Benoit never failed a drug test in his career and toxicology results haven’t been released. Can’t crazy just be crazy? Because steroids caused Andrea Yates to kill her family, right? If toxicology reports come back and reveal Benoit had more drugs in his than Barry Bonds, I’ll eat my words.

Until then, it’s baseless speculation.

Took the words right out of my mouth, babe. There's plenty of documented cases of men and women killing their spouses and children, but because this person happened to be a pro wrestler, it's gotta be the steroids. That is lazy-ass journalism at its finest. Spare me.

The steroids could also be from his neck surgery that happened a while back, just a guess on my part. My take on this is I want to know why all of this happened, what was his motive for doing it. Now killing your wife for whatever reason, yeah unfortunately due to how many times we hear about it on television and such, I can understand (Although not completely). I just can't understand how Benoit can kill his own kid.

They didn't just jump to the serioid conclusion -- THEY FOUND ANABOLIC STEROIDS IN HIS HOUSE. So, it's not really that much of a jump to assume that he was probably taking the steroids in his house, then again.. I mean I suppose it's possible his wife took them. But it's a logical police conclusion and I don't see how it's just baseless speculation. That's how the first reports of steroids came out. Why Roid rage in the end might not be the reason he killed his wife, it is worthwhile speculation that the guy was taking them and killed them as a result of roid rage. And I believe I've heard preliminary tests showed the drugs in his system.

There are recorded cases where a parent has killed a child because in their deluded logic, they are "sparing" the child from pain and suffering. It's been seen in cases of women with postpartum psychosis, and men and women who are clinically depressed or psychotic. Usually the method chosen is something considered "painless", such as suffocation, drowning, or overdosing with sleeping pills.

My guess is that Benoit killed his son because he either didn't want his son to suffer the knowledge that his mother was dead and his father was the murderer and/or he didn't want his son to have to deal with life without his parents. It's still inexcuseable any way you look at it, but in his warped mind, he was doing what he thought was the right thing.

It's baseless speculation that steroids caused him to kill his wife and family, Jaime. Millions of people take steroids, and 99.99% of them have never killed anyone.

It's not baseless when the drugs are in the house. Could it have been other things? Of course. He could just be a horrible SOB. Or it could have been roids which were present in his system and the house. It could have been a mental disorder or a combination of all of those things. But it's not completely baseless when the drugs are there and in the guy and that is a known side affect of roid rage.

There's no evidence of steroids in his system, because toxicology reports are not back yet.

bigger than 220, but is your 220 all muscle or muscle with a lot of fat?
