World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Vince McMahon dismissed reports that illegal substances played a long-term role in the demise of late wrestler Chris Benoit. Early on in this increasingly surreal episode Mr. McMahon insisting Chris passed a random drug test in April. What kind of a drug test was it? If these toxicology repots come back lit up and on fire for Benoit how does that measure with McMahon's response?

Vince McMahon and the WWE Drug Test: How Does Chris Benoit Get a Pass?

"The last test that Chris Benoit took of a random nature was in April which he was totally negative," WWE Chairman Vince McMahon said on NBC's "Today" morning program a few days into the scandal. "That doesn't mean that he wasn't taking prescription medication and perhaps even steroids when this happened. We don't know." So what good are the tests? That is the real question.

Meanwhile Chris Benoit's mother is placing blame on the feds. She says the Drug Enforcement Administration should have charged her son when his name first surfaced in an investigation into illegal distribution of steroids, and that if it had, the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their son could have been avoided.

The DEA isn't to blame here and frankly neither is the WWE or Vince McMahon. Chris Benoit committed the acts. He did the unthinkable deeds that weekend. It is his fault plain and simple. But he's long gone and the public is going to want to punish someone. And it's not going to be fair, but the will look stari8ght at the WWE and Mr. McMahon and this drug testing procedure.
