What was a case of 'he said, he said' between top wrestler Kurt Angle and top company World Wrestling Entertainment became a clarification in favor of WWE.
In an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer on April 9, 2009, former WWE star Kurt Angle addressed his steroid use, pain pill addiction and WWE. In the article, it read Angle was fined and suspended by WWE for steroid use in 2006. WWE remembers differently.
"WWE let Kurt Angle out of his contract because he refused to go to rehab," a WWE spokesman told the Inquirer.
"Kurt Angle was granted a mutual release from his contract on Aug. 25, 2006 because, at WWE's insistence, Kurt Angle refused to enter a drug rehabilitation program. This is contrary to what Kurt Angle asserts in the Philadelphia Inquirer article dated Thursday, April 9, 2009, which is that WWE refused his request to attend rehabilitation. More specifically, on May 30, 2006, a WWE physician informed WWE management of concerns regarding Mr. Angle's addiction issues and recommended to Mr. Angle that he attend a rehabilitation program. At that time, Mr. Angle refused to attend rehabilitation. Subsequently, on June 27, 2006, Mr. Angle was suspended for violating the WWE Talent Wellness program and was released from his contract on Aug. 25, 2006."...More?
