TNA Looking to Expand Drug-Testing Policy
TNA president Dixie Carter says TNA is currently formulating a new drug-testing program, apparently to expand the first policy that was started in 2007.
Carter was interviewed by syndicated columnist Alex Marvez, who reports that Carter "understands that greater TNA visibility will bring more public and media scrutiny, especially regarding the company's lax drug-testing policy."
According to documents disclosed by the U.S. Congress's Committee on Government Oversight & Reform in January 2009, there were a significant number of wrestlers who tested positive for steroids when TNA first began testing.
Congressman Henry Waxman's letter on the Commitee's findings revealed that 15 out of 60 wrestlers tested positive for steroid use and an additional 11 wrestlers tested positive for other drugs.

Linda McMahon's Key Opponent in Senate Race Formally Questions the WWE Drug Policy and if Triple H is Tested
The main Republican party opponent for former WWE CEO Linda McMahon in the Connecticut Senate race, Richard Simmons, sent a very-detailed letter to McMahon today seeking answers to ten key questions related to the history of health issues that have plagued the pro wrestling business under McMahon's watch as WWE CEO.
Question #6 relates to Vince McMahon and Triple H:
...Why is Mr. McMahon not subjected to the drug policy and are there any other performers, including memebers of the McMahon family, including your son-in-law Paul "Triple H" Levesque, who have been exempt from the drug testing policy, and is so why?
