Right like maybe painkillers too;

In fact, people get addicted to the painkillers and not just talking about the guy on the airwaves (Rush).

Famous RunnerUp to the 1981 NY Marathon Dick Beardsley got so addicted to painkillers; he’d use an old doctor’s prescription sheet, photocopy it and sign it fraudulently, trying to get the pills in this manner ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Beardsley ).

If wrestlers are unregulated in many ways in the use of steroids; just think what these additional drugs can do in the mix of things.

Painkillers are probably a much bigger problem in wrestling than steroids have ever been. These guys get injured on a regular basis & often have to continue to work despite those injuries. This is said to be the main cause of Kerry Von Erich having his foot amputated. They have injuries & are pushed to keep going.
