Hey Scott, some crackpot theory developed in my head the other day when I was thinking about how some guys with muscleman physiques are able to pass wellness tests while other guys get suspended.
WWE starts off by giving everyone a baseline test which sets the standard for how much you are allowed to take.
Dumb example:
A baseline test establishes that Batista can take 5 pills a day, CM Punk can take 0.
From that point forward, a violation for Batista is 6 or more, a violation for Punk is 1 and up.
That way, musclemen can retain their physiques and WWE can still claim to have a drug policy. So now it's understandable (to me) why people like Umaga and William Regal, who would never be confused for Mr. Olympia, got two strikes, while muscle-bound freaks like HHH and Batista have yet to have strike one (maybe there's other reasons too, but I'm not probing further).
Or here’s my alternate and much simpler theory as to how these guys can pass the tests: The Wellness Program is a joke because guys like HHH are exempted due to being “management” and if they don’t like the results of a test, they generally ignore them or act like the person is injured instead. Either way.
