  • Nowadays, the WWE has a 'no nonsense attitude' regarding steroid abuse and implements a rigorous drug testing policy. However, this was not always the case.

    Vince McMahon was accused, in 1994, of using a urologist to provide his roster with steroids regularly.

    The doctor was convicted, but the boss, Vince McMahon, avoided prison time after an intense court battle.
