    If the drugs were prescribed for legitimate medical use - then I doubt it would have been included in the police report as something strange.

    Maybe.Either way it doesn't really matter. The fact is that all three of them dead now and it seems like it was a totally pre-meditated murder.

    WRESTLING killer Chris Benoit was so obsessed with steroids - he even injected his seven-year-old son with growth hormone. Daniel - who was murdered by Benoit along with mum Nancy before the WWE star committed suicide - was found with needle marks in his arms.

    Ah man... I know its the freaking Sun... But still... Cant they just print some confirmed news instead of making up their own conclusions.. :rolleyes:
    I know and it is bullshit as well. Quoted from F4W Online.comESPN.com reported: "In an interview with ESPN.com on Tuesday, [District Attorney Scott] Ballard indicated that the boy had needle marks in his arms. The district attorney said he believed that the boy had been given growth hormones for some time because the family considered him undersized." This horrifying detail reminded me of a story from another ill-fated family, the Von Erich's. Chris Von Erich, the smallest member of the family, was according to one source diagnosed with some form of dwarfism or related disease, and told he would likely not end up taller than five and a half feet or so. Fritz, the wrestling patriarch, used his connections to get a doctor to provide Chris human growth hormone. Kerry, who was jacked to the gills, wanted the GH for bodybuilding purposes and traded with Chris for prescription pills and other drugs. Both Kerry and Chris, along with brother Mike, ultimately committed suicide. At press time, we do not know whether Daniel had been prescribed GH or whether Benoit and/or Nancy procured the drugs on their own. Ballard did say, "The boy was very small, even dwarfed", which indicates the drugs were prescribed for legitimate medical usage. There was also an article that quote Pam Winthrope of Delta, Vancouver, who claimed she knew the Benoit family through a support group for victims of Fragile X syndrome, an inherited mental impairment. She claimed Daniel had Fragile X, and that she had also seen first-hand how the disease could tear families apart. None of this information was confirmed at press time.

    I have been visiting this forum for years. Always reading but never posting.Until now.I haven't been this shocked since Eddy, however due to his past habits I always feared the worst. Chris Benoit to me was gonna be like Stu Hart. Around forever, or near enough. I was just going to bed and thought i'd check for news. It's not only his passing but his family too that makes this all the more tragic, no matter how it occurred. My first thoughts are of course suicide or murder, I hope it is neither, but whatever it will be is tragic.My favourite memory of Benoit was meeting him in London a few years ago. I shook his hand and I swear no body had a handshake like that man. It was like a Vice and I have shaken hands with a fair few wrestlers. I told him that as a pure wrestler he was unequaled and he looked up, looked me in the eye and said thank you.In a sport where ego's tend to rule, Benoit was an exception to that rule.Rest in peace Chris Benoit

    Exactly. Everyone expected Eddie to die young, but not Benoit. I can honestly say he is the most humble pro athlete i have ever met (even more than Ally McCoist)
