A new possible steroid scandal to hit WWE

Reported by Ernest I Aguilar

A new steroid scandal might hit WWE very soon. 36 year old Dr. Claire Godfrey pleaded guilty to a felony drug count yesterday in connection with a nationwide steroid distribution ring. According to the Times Union newspaper, clients of the former Mrs. Florida contestant include at least two WWE wrestlers who were not named. Dr. Godfrey is the seventh to plead guilty in this case for writing steroids prescriptions for athletes. The prosecution is building up the case against Signature Pharmacy, an Orlando company owned by husband-and-wife pharmacists Stan and Naomi Loomis. Authorities say that if the case against Signature ever goes to court, Dr. Godfrey would be one of their star witnesses. The Times Union newspaper also confirms that Chris Benoit obtained steroids that allegedly were signed by Dr. Gary Brandwein, a South Florida doctor also under indictment in Albany in the same case. The prescriptions attributed to Brandwein were delivered to Benoit in 2005 and 2006, according to shipping records reviewed by the newspaper. Authorities are continuing to examine how many pro wrestlers may have received steroids from Signature Pharmacy.
