Backstage News: Why WWE Divas Never Fail Drug Tests?

It cannot be said that the WWE female talent roster of the last few years has been 100% in compliance with the company's drug testing policy as at least a few female performers were indeed customers of Signature Pharmacy at one point, which closed shop in February 2007 after being raided by Albany County, NY and Florida law enforcement agencies. Authorities allege that Signature Pharmacy illegally distributed steroids and other prescription drugs to clients who had not by examined by doctors, many of whom being professional wrestlers. Purchasing pharmaceuticals from an online pharmacy is a direct violation of WWE's drug testing policy.

There is a story floating around from August 2007 about a WWE wrestler telling a source how he was "scared to the death" that his name would show up on the Signature Pharmacy list because he had been getting drugs through them. The wrestler in question told the source he got put in touch with Signature Pharmacy through one of the women's wrestlers, with the women's wrestler telling him "many of the women" get their stuff through Signature Pharmacy.

For those wondering why no female WWE performers' names came up on the dreaded list, simply put, they were very lucky. Due to the sheer enormity of the Signature Pharmacy client list, authorities were just not able to thoroughly investigate every single file and computer at the pharmacy's Orlando-based office. Many more wrestlers were customers of Signature Pharmacy, but were simply not named because every file and computer had not been searched - including all female wrestling talent as well as the wrestler who was "scared to the death." Those that were named - such as Mr. Kennedy, John Morrison and Charlie Haas - were unlucky as authorities just happened to come across their files. They could have just as easily not been caught had not their files not been randomly searched.

As noted earlier, the drug of choice among women throughout the wrestling industry - presumably including WWE - is a weight loss diet pill called Zylene, which helps suppresses hunger. This pill is exclusively available online as it has not yet been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. However, Zylene has yet to be added to WWE's banned drugs list, so the company's female talent are free to use it without penalty.
