- samsmartjr, on 05/13/2009, -0/+53I read the title as "Doctor Who prescribed steriods to wrestlers sentenced." I was wondering why the Doctor would be giving steriods to wrestlers, and what the wrestlers did to be sentenced.
- inactive, on 05/13/2009, -2/+27Doctor Who would never do something like that. It was The Master.
- Heywoodj, on 05/13/2009, -0/+11He needed Augmented humans to fight the Cybermen . But he was foiled by the Mighty Jagrafess who had them arrested.....
Yep read it the same way. - shanidachine, on 05/13/2009, -0/+8I dont know if he deserved 12 years, to be honest... Those people made conscious decisions to aquire those drugs, if they were prescribed or not. They still would have got them some how...
- Chooxo, on 05/13/2009, -0/+7Anyone seen WWE lately? I think these guys are still getting their steroids, just fine.
- lwimsett, on 05/13/2009, -0/+4Damn I was gonna say that
- randumbusername, on 05/13/2009, -0/+4dude probably was ***** up in the head...but let's blame steroids.
- siamesedream, on 05/13/2009, -4/+7Steroids had nothing to do with the violence.
Goddamnit, you guys. - ShingoEX, on 05/13/2009, -4/+7Benoit's brain damage due to repeated trauma and concussions had more to do with his actions than steroids ever did.
Dugg down for implying false information. - Norlick, on 05/13/2009, -1/+4He's getting dugg down, but it's true.
There isn't even anything to make people believe Roid Rage exists aside from a media meme, much less that it causes people to kill other people.
Benoit did it because he had wifey troubles coupled with concussion-induced dimentia. Basically, he was a psycho. A very entertaining psycho, but a psycho nonetheless. - eloestea, on 05/13/2009, -3/+6Chris benoit might have been a talented wrestler, but god damn if he wasnt the most boring charisma wise. dull-ass wife and child murdering prick. ***** him, this doctor, and anyone who disagrees.
- roddack, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3because what people put in there body should be the governments decision and not the individuals and anyone who aids them in this matter should be locked up?
- BRod1, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3What's next? "K9 scandalized by the leak of home videos allegedly involving himself and a Roomba"?
- bort27, on 05/13/2009, -0/+3The horse raced past the barn fell.
- Logrusmage, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2Yes. Yes it was. Basically every WWE wrestler juices, why did only one of them kill his whole family?
Seriously, there is NO proven connection between juice and rage. None at all. - charlietuna, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2Ditto. I'm thinking: Why would a Time Lord take 'roids?
- nepidae, on 05/13/2009, -1/+3That bastard timelord.
- greggootz, on 05/13/2009, -0/+2Chris Benoit was an entertainer, who had emotional problems...not due to his steroid use. His death was not this doctor's fault...
http://rbireport.com/ - roddack, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1***** you back then
- howclever, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1"NEWNAN, Ga. -- The personal doctor to a professional wrestler who killed himself, his wife and their 7-year-old son was sentenced to 10 years in prison for illegally distributing prescription drugs to patients.
Dr. Phil Astin, 54, was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty Jan. 29 to 175 counts that including illegally distributing prescription drugs.
World Wrestling Entertainment's Chris Benoit killed his family and then himself in 2007 in their suburban Atlanta home. A medical examiner couldn't say whether the steroids Astin prescribed for Benoit played a role in the deaths.
U.S. District Judge Jack Camp said there was no doubt the 54-year-old Astin tried to help hundreds of patients at his western Georgia clinic. But the judge said he could not overlook the fact that two patients died as a result of Astin's misconduct.
Astin pleaded guilty in January to a 175-count federal indictment. He also admitted that prescriptions he issued resulted in the overdose death of a female patient in 2007."
H - inactive, on 05/13/2009, -2/+3Yeah, sure it was.
- arial, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1Sad story for everyone's family affected by this.
- swantonamobay, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1Thank Jebus, he prescribed ***** tons of painkillers to my uncle for years, maybe that fat sack of ***** will get off them now.
- wassim2k, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1What are these "steriods" you speak of?
- jnorris441, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1How can they sentence the doctor if he killed himself?
- LordRedSnake, on 05/13/2009, -0/+1True that. It's astounding how many people who are pro-legalization of marijuana and even hard drugs who then turn around and demonize steroids. There are millions of steroid users, most of whom are not competitive athletes, who live productive lives. There is also a great deal of medically appropriate usage for anabolics.
There are health risks (though not life threatening) as with any exogenous substance, but driving the usage underground is a good way to ensure that people do not use the substances in a way that would minimize or eliminate negative side effects. - siamesedream, on 05/13/2009, -0/+0Excellent reply. Dugg.
- candyass2, on 05/13/2009, -1/+1I thought the samething
- Samurai77, on 05/13/2009, -1/+1WTF? Dr. Who isn't a real doctor.
- Logrusmage, on 05/13/2009, -0/+0Who the ***** is Dr. Who? He should really change his name, the Doctor doesn't like crappy imitators.
- MrScotchBoy, on 05/12/2009, -5/+5thank god, i think he deserves the sentence!
- swinefever, on 05/13/2009, -4/+2I never trusted Dr. Who anyway...........
- Pixelante, on 05/13/2009, -4/+0It's the Doctor, not "Doctor Who", that's the series' title not the character's name dammit. And it's totally out of character for him. It was the Master posing as him, I say!
