Another WWE wrestler violates "Wellness Program"

Randy Orton violates Wellness Program
Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

Randy Orton is the latest wrestler in a long line of wrestlers to violate the WWE's Wellness Program. Sources within WWE have confirmed that Randy Orton recently failed to meet the requirements to pass the WWE Wellness Program drug test. Also, WWE officials found over eight bottles of non-prescription Painkillers in Randy Orton's dressing bag at a recent event. Vince McMahon recently had a talk with talent from all three brands in which he warned them about the use of Painkillers. And if that isn't enough, it should be noted that Orton has tested positive for steriod use within the last two months.

Seeing how he will be a vital part of SummerSlam when he does battle with Hulk Hogan, it remains to be seen if WWE will punish him, thus complicating this important storyline. If action isn't taken, it will be highly unfair to Rob Van Dam, not to mention that it will look very bad in the eyes of the public.

There will be more on this story as it develops.

Didn't take too long for Orton to get himself back into trouble, I wonder how long until the WWE gives him the boot? You would have thought he would have learnt by now.

So does this WWE Wellness Policy target Painkillers in the main? How abouts Steriods? Gee one would think that HHH would be picked up for Steriod abuse if this was the case or are double standards involved here?

I haven't seen Meltzer comment on this on his site. Might be fake.

Apparently WWE have decided not to publicly punish Orton for violating the WWE Wellness Program. In addition to be fined $2,000, Vince McMahon will hire Orton a rehab consultant where he/she will travel on the road with Orton, due to the fact Orton will not be taken off WWE television.

Many stars are outraged at WWE officials and even Vince McMahon for not taking drastic action towards the situation. Paul Heyman is said to be the most outraged, due to the fact that RVD, the star of ECW was suspened for thirty days for something similar to this situation, however, Orton has not even been serverly punished.

One source within WWE commented "This is highly unfair to the entire roster that Orton was not suspened. It's going to make the wellness program look more like a joke because just about everything in WWE leaks online." It should also be noted that Hulk Hogan is the reason Orton didn't get suspened because he played peace-maker during the entire situation. He persuaded Vince to keep Orton, especially with the big Summerslam showdown coming in August.

Looks like a slap on the wrist for Orton. WWE's Wellness Program is a joke.

Why is HHH any more likely to be on the roids than any other wrestler???

It's FAKE!

From Meltzer:
"There has been some sort of an item regarding Randy Orton posted on some web sites attributes to the Observer. The item is made up and has never appeared in the Observer Newsletter. Orton can get into enough trouble on his own without people having to make up stuff on him. Any sites who posted anything owe Orton a major and immediate apology and should pray WWE legal doesn't come after you, because it's going to be pretty hard to defend yourself when you credit something to a newsletter you don't even read."

Yeah I read this today, I hear that a few websites carrying this story are public apologising for it, I didn't think that someone would make up rubbish like this.

The site I read that had it, had it as "Breaking News" as well as another site that I read had it, I checked 2 sites to see if the story was real or not and thought if more then one credible site was carrying it, then it would have been real.

I guess this thread should be removed or something.

OH NO so Big Footy can be sued then and the site might be close down.

I doubt it, if there was a chance they would have removed the thread.

Most wrestling sites just c&p from the source (Meltzer, F4W, PWInsider), best to check them first. Other than that, they're most likely making stuff up, ESPECIALLY if it's one of those sites which uses fake links to stories in an attempt to get you to click to their site.

You ask a valid question there Spunkster and by doing so highlight the stupidity of the WWEs Wellness Policy.

I don't usually click those, I got to PWInsider, and TNAHeadlines.com a lot, and there was another site cannot remember the url but it had the story and I got sent the story from a friend and checked it up and then it turned out to be fake.

This strikes me as an arbitrarily enforced policy wielded by McMahon to banish those he doesnt want
