DECATUR, Ga.(AP) Pro wrestler Chris Benoit had a steroid and other drugs in his system when he killed his wife and young son last month and hanged himself in the family's home, investigators said Tuesday.

Benoit's body contained 10 times the normal level of testosterone, as well as the anti-anxiety drug Xanax and the painkiller hydrocodone, authorities said.

The testosterone, a synthetic version of the primary male sex hormone, is considered an anabolic steroid. The state's top medical examiner said it appeared to have been injected shortly before Benoit died.

Dr. Kris Sperry said there was no evidence of any other steroids in the wrestler's body, and nothing to show that steroids played a role in the death of Nancy and Daniel Benoit. He also said the boy appeared to have been sedated when he was asphyxiated, and Benoit's wife had a "therapeutic" level of sedatives in her body.

Sperry said there is no consensus that the use of testosterone can contribute to paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage."

"This a question that basically no one knows the answer to," Sperry said. "There is conflicting scientific data as to whether or not testosterone creates mental disorders or leads to outbursts of rage," he said. "There's data that suggests it and other data that refute it."

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Benoit tested negative for alcohol.

Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son, placed Bibles next to their bodies and then hanged himself on the cable of a weight machine. After the slayings, prescription anabolic steroids were found in the family's home, raising questions about whether the drugs played a role in the killings.

Xanax, Vicodin, and steroids played a large part in these murders. (The mixing of them) A testosterone level 10 times the normal is ridiculous. Let the investigation of the WWE begin ..

As much as I like Chris Benoit as a wrestler, I would rather not go on about what he did, it has been spoken about enough. So I will continue with talking about Triple H.

Triple H will put Booker in his place, they will probably start a feud with those two before giving him the title.

Such irony:
Due to an injury Edge suffered during the Mardi Gras angle on last week's SmackDown, Edge will be forced to miss ring time.

Edge has apparently not yet decided whether he is going to pursue surgery or try to heal the torn pectoral in rehab, but either course of action will result in time away from the ring.

Consequently, he is expected to drop his WWE World Heavyweight Championship at tonight's WWE SmackDown! taping.

The plan is for a new champion to be crowned via a Battle Royal on tonight's show; the winner will make his first defense at the Great American Bash.

LAREDO, Texas – In a twist of irony for the Ultimate Opportunist, tonight was a night of ultimate defeat for former World Heavyweight Champion Edge, and great opportunity for the new gold bearer on SmackDown, The Great Khali.

In the middle of his brush with the Big Red Machine last week on SmackDown, the Rated-R Superstar tore his left pectoral muscle within Kane’s clutches. As a result, Edge’s doctors have ordered surgery, and have stated that he will be out of action for four months. Just days before his scheduled championship defense against his injuring party at The Great American Bash, Edge came to Laredo, Texas, to announce that he will be unable to compete on Sunday.

However, the best laid plans of the Ultimate Opportunist were abolished as SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long informed the champion of a critical clause in the WWE rulebook. Under official WWE edict, a World Champion must defend the title within a 30-day period in order to keep the gold. As Edge stood in sheer disbelief, Long was forced to strip the self-indulgent Rated-R Superstar of the World Heavyweight Championship in the center of the ring. The shock and abhorrence in the eyes of the now-former champion spoke loud – almost as loud as Edge’s comments for WWE.com, just moments after being stripped of his prize.

“I’m still the rightful champion,” asserted the injured Rated-R Superstar. “My pectoral muscle is hanging on by a single fiber; literally hanging from the bone. Theodore Long comes out and strips me of what I’ve worked for my entire career – from childhood until now. My mood is obviously not great right now. I’m disgusted.”

Though Edge would have the world believe differently, Long’s decision wasn’t an attempt to target the notorious and controversial champion, as the GM further explained to WWE.com.

“It clearly states in the WWE rulebook that the holder of the World Heavyweight Championship must defend the title within that period of time,” Long contended. “Edge can’t do that, so I had no choice but to strip him of his title. Nothing’s personal. I’m just doing my job.”

As Edge made perfectly clear in a very long-winded address celebrating himself, he is no stranger to injury. In his near decade-long career, the Rated-R Superstar has been met by physical wounds of all kinds, but never as the World Heavyweight Champion.

“I go out there and put my body through hell,” exclaimed the Ultimate Opportunist. “I’ve broken my neck, dislocated my shoulder twice, torn my other peck, my elbows are mush, I have two protruding discs in my lower back. I even got bit by a brown recluse spider that turned into a flesh-eating disease – the list goes on. I still go out there and prove that I am the best.”

But according to Edge, enduring the damage that accompanies the life of a WWE Superstar – not to mention a champion – is not for anyone but himself.

“Why do I still do this? Not for them. I do it for my pride,” added the emotional Superstar. “I don’t give a rat’s a** what the fans think. I never have. That’s not how I operate.”

Was it our fans who drove Kane to stalk the Rated-R Superstar and ultimately lead to his injury last week? Perhaps that’s where the blame will fall in Edge’s reddened eyes.

“I know that fans will be happy with this, and that pisses me off,” Edge stated. “I’ve come to the realization that our fans never will appreciate me. But they had to live with me as their champion, and when I return and become a four-time World Champion, they’ll have to deal with me again.”

Be sure to tune in to SmackDown this Friday night at 8/7 CT on The CW Network to watch the Ultimate Opportunist’s ultimate downfall, and catch the fallout involving the World Heavyweight Title.

1 Opening card has Sylvan Grenier beat some jobber guy. Good heat for his antics.

2. Smackdown opens up with Teddy Long introducing Edge for some major announcement. Edge comes out unusually heartbroken as he is about to surrender his belt via torn pectoral announcement. Edge babbles on as he is a true Canadian athlete and shows a video about his storied career. Teddy Long then forces him to surrender and Edge leaves and continues to look back at the belt. Long then announces that there will be a 20 man over the top battle royal to determine a new champion. That champion will defend the title at the GAB.

3. Two veteran babes lock up next as Victoria and Torrie go one on one. Some great action as Victoria nails her black widow finisher for the W.

4. The 20 man battle royal which included MVP, Finlay, Major Brothers, Duece an Dominoe, Kenny Dyksta, Matt Hardy, Jimmy Wang Yang, Pitbull Noble, Funaki, Dave Taylor, Khali, Mark Henry, Kane, and Batista. Last 3 men were Batista and Kane who were forcing each other out when Khali hoisted them both out to capture the title. Batista is emphasized as he is throwing ring steps and tantrums.

5. Matt Hardy and Kenny Dystra are next as the 2 young men hook up with a few good minutes of good action. Both men were in the battle royal earlier and were visibly hurt throughout the match. Matt gets good pops. MVP is shown in his locker room and calls Hardy lucky for his victory and cuts a promo on their match at GAB.

6. Teddy Long announces that Batista and Kane will meet for the #1 contenders match next. As the match between the 2 monsters are in progress, Khali comes in and pummels both men causing a double dq.
