WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was recently interviewed by The Orlando Sentinel (orlandosentinel.com) in conjunction with WrestleMania 24 tickets going on sale tomorrow. Below are the highlights from the interview:

Q.: How excited are you about having WrestleMania in Orlando?

A.: I was delighted when Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and John Saboor, president of the Central Florida Sports Commission, visited our offices in Stamford, Conn., last year to extend an invitation from the City of Orlando to host WrestleMania.

Our fans in Florida have always been extremely supportive of WWE. Orlando is one of the world's hottest tourist destinations, and WrestleMania is going to make it even hotter.

Q.: After the Chris Benoit tragedy, a good number of your wrestlers have been suspended for drug use. What can be done about this?

A.: I think there has been a rush to judgment on the issue of steroid and drug abuse in WWE. When that happens, it is difficult to get your side of the story told. WWE has had various drug-testing programs for its performers over the past 20 years. The Talent Wellness Program we have today is effective. This has random testing protocols that result in more frequent testing than other drug-testing programs, such as those in professional sports. Random testing is designed to be at 400 percent, meaning that all performers are to be tested at least four times per year. The WWE program imposes serious penalties, up to and including contract termination for repeat offenders. The program is administered by one of the foremost drug-testing authorities in the world, Dr. David L. Black of Aegis Sciences Corporation in Nashville, Tenn. Dr. Black helped develop and implement the NFL's drug-testing program. His firm provides doping control services to more than 50 NCAA universities. We have suspended 30 performers since the program went into effect in February 2006 for violating the program. Of course, the goal of this program is to one day have no suspensions because our performers are no longer using steroids or abusing prescription drugs. I think that day will come sooner than people expect. As more information is being provided, I think people are getting a better understanding that WWE is serious about eradicating the abuse of drugs and steroids among our performers.
