Top 10 WWE superstars who were suspended for failing drug tests

WWE and substance abuse have a long standing relationship with each other. There have been several instances where superstars have been accused of consuming unwanted drugs or pharmaceuticals that aren’t in compliance with the standard rules.The current generation of the WWE Talent Wellness Program started at the end of February, 2006. At that time, suspensions were NOT publicly announced, but they usually got out.In case you are wondering, what that program is, the Wellness Program forces three step rules if a superstar is found guilty of using drugs. First strike means that they will be suspended for a period of 30 days, second strike means for 60 days and a third strike results in automatic termination from the company.  If the superstar in question refused rehab, they were immediately fired, no matter which strike it was. And that list included the late Chris Benoit who died before the testing procedures were carried out.Nonetheless, several superstars were quietly suspended depending on their strikes and here a compilation of 10 of those from various sources on the web about whom we know.
