The press conference begins with District Attorney Scott Ballard briefing the public on the case. He says that today we are here to talk about one component of the investigation and that is the toxicology results.

Ballard hands the podium over to a doctor who says that they found Hydrocodone and Xanax in the system of Nancy Benoit. The doctor says that the levels were at therapeutic levels and she had a 0.184 blood alcohol level. However, he says that they are unable to tell if she had drank alcohol because the blood alcohol level was due to the decomposition process of her body.

Daniel Benoit had Xanax at elevated levels in his system. It is their opinion that Daniel was sedated prior to the time he was murdered.

Chris Benoit's system was positive for Xanax and Hydrocodone. Both were at therapeutic levels. The only steroid found in Benoit's system was testosterone. It was found in elevated levels which indicate that he was taking it prior to his death.

No evidence of GHB in any of the three bodies.

Investigators find steroids in body of wrestler who killed wife and son before hanging himself

By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writer
July 17, 2007

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 amounts of 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 Chris Benoit tested negative for alcohol. Investigators had been eager to determine whether alcohol was a factor in the killings after 10 empty beer cans were found in the home, as well as an empty wine bottle a few feet from where Benoit hanged himself.

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.

Benoit's wife, Nancy, tested positive for Xanax, hydrocodone and the painkiller hydromorphone. Daniel Benoit had Xanax in his system, authorities said. The GBI said it could not perform tests for steroids or human growth hormones on the boy because of a lack of urine.

Nancy Benoit's body had a blood-alcohol level of 0.184 percent, more than twice the level at which Georgia law considers a driver intoxicated. But, Sperry said, that level may have been affected by decomposition.

Federal authorities have charged Chris Benoit's personal physician, Dr. Phil Astin, with improperly prescribing painkillers and other drugs to two patients other than Benoit. He has pleaded not guilty.

Investigators have also raided Astin's office several times since the deaths, seizing prescription records and other documents.

Before he was charged, Astin told the AP he prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past. He would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office June 22, the day authorities believe Benoit killed his wife.

World Wrestling Entertainment last screened Benoit for steroids in April. It said the results released Tuesday were proof Benoit did not test positive for illegal substances.

"All it means is that scientifically, it's now known that sometime between April 10 and when he died, he had treatment with testosterone," said Jerry McDevitt, a WWE attorney. "That's all it establishes."

if you ask me they should shut down the entire wrestling entertainment industry long enough to take a good long look in the mirror and reevaluate themselves...

But then again death after death after senseless death... I guess none of these lives being ruined matter when the bottom line is always money.

you must be a fox news reporter.

the wrestling industry didnt cause every single one of these wrestler's deaths. it was the individual choices and lifestyles of the many dead wrestler's that did it.

infact, i would say that owen hart's was about the only one you can blame on the industry itself.

just off the top of my head...
yokozuna was way overwieght and died of a heart attack...surprise?
mr perfect died of cocaine overdose
mike awesome:suicide
kerry von erich: suicide
bossman: heart attack (he was fat)
and as for the deaths that were linked to steroid abuse...that is the fault of the person who took them, not anyone else's.

Yeah, but you can't deny that Vince wants his wrestlers to be musclebound freaks... Look at Rey Mysterio now, compared to when he was in WCW.

Also the wrestlers need some sort of union. It's not fair that they get absolutely no benefits after putting there bodies in harms way, 270 days a year.

They are probably getting beat up worse than football players, and they are talking about how concussions could be the cause of suicides for football players, what about these wrestlers?

i definitely agree that the wrestlers deserve benfits and some sort of union or a lighter scheudle...but it is ignorant to blame the business for the deaths of many of the wrestlers.

vince does have some fetish for large bodybuilder type wrestlers and at one point he may have even encouraged them to use performance enhancing drugs, however, it is the person's own damn fault for using something that may ultimately lead to a pre-mature death.

also, many injuries inside and outside of sports require the prescription of steroids for the healing process. often times it is not the use of steroids but the miss use of steroids that leads to the health problems that wrestlers and other atheletes encounter later in life.

I had forgotten about that. I hear if you're a Pro Wrestler, you're not allowed (by law) to purchase health insurance. And even if they were allowed, it would probably cost over $300/month for their whole family. Can you even imagine that? Making $5-7,000/month wrestling, and having to pay nearly 5% of your monthly income to some HMO because Vince is being cheap?

Every men's fitness magazine on the planet has some muscular dude on the cover.....not some flabby, average joe. Does that mean those magazines are encouraging steroid use? No. They are encouraging you to work harder, and rewarding those that have been doing so for the YEARS it takes to get a solid body. Vince does the same.

Lifting weights, doing cardio and eating healthy will give you a supremely conditioned body that is more resistant to injuries and abuse. You cannot do any of these 3 consistently when you're out partying, and drinking, and fucking around. As a general rule: the more Muscular someone is, the more likely they are to eat right, go to the gym daily, etc. Fact of life.

Benoit is a sad example of someone that tried to cheat the system by taking steroids. Wherever he is now, he is in a better place.

Are you being sarcastic?

1. No, there is not a law that prevents professional wrestles from purchasing insurance

2. 300.00 a month is A LOT cheaper than most people pay for a family of insurance not covered by their job.

3. Chris Benoit made A LOT more than 5-7k a month.

4. Steroids doesn't magically make you have muscles. It increases the healing rate of your muscles, but there is no getting out of lifting weights and exercise to achieve an impressive physique.
