Chris Benoit Doc Gets Ten in The Pen

[caff]

The doctor who prescribed steroids for late wrestler Chris Benoit is going to prison for ten years.

Dr. Phil Astin was sentenced today in Georgia after he pled guilty to 25 counts back in January, including illegally distributing prescription drugs.

It's still unclear whether Astin-prescribed steroids caused Benoit to go berserk in 2007 -- when he killed his wife and child, then took his own life.

Astin was also linked to another wrestling tragedy -- Michael Durham died in 2006 with toxic levels of Soma and hydrocodone.

I haven't followed WWF in years. Does Chris Benoit still have the intercontinental belt?

sucks for him! but honestly i think the steroids had very little to do with what Chris did.

I wonder if they were so harsh on him because of CB.

That was a part of it, but he also prescribed Johnny Grunge the drugs that killed him, and was selling scripts of whatever to whoever wanted it.
