They have a Wellness program which they implemented after the death of Eddie Guerrero in 2005. There are two troubling loopholes, though.
One is the WWE allows a wrestler to pass a test with a 10:1 testosterone to epitestosterone level. The World Anti-Doping Agency starts considering a violation at a 4:1 ratio, so the WWE allows a wrestler twice the Test levels that the world body allows. Now for consideration, the ratio of Test to Epitestosterone in an average person is 1:1. That's a lot of leeway.
Second of all, if a wrestler has been prescribed anabolic steroids by a physician for a legitimate reason, and they have the documentation, then the test will come back negative. So someone can be using steroids, yet find a way to have a negative test, in this case.
Also, of interest to people who are obviously on a political message board, Georgia's Republican Senator, Johnny Isakson is reportedly having his staff investigate all of the wrestlers deaths from the last few years, and once to specifically look at the use of anabolic steroids, and the health issues related to them.
