The following is from CNN.com:
KING: Coming to us now from his base in Tampa, Florida is John Cena, a return visit with the WWE champion and superstar.
He knew Chris Benoit professionally, as well.
Toxicology test results are in, in the shocking double murder and suicide involving Benoit, his wife Nancy and their 7-year-old son Daniel.
Investigators say that Benoit had steroids, the anti-anxiety drug Xanax and a painkiller in his system last month when he did the killings. According to the tests, his body had 10 times the normal level of testosterone. His wife tested positive for therapeutic levels of Xanax and painkillers. And his son had a high level of Xanax, indicating he likely was sedated at the time of his death.
What do you make of that, John?
JOHN CENA, WWE CHAMPION & SUPERSTAR, WORKED WITH CHRIS BENOIT: I make that the media kind of jump to conclusions. You can see that Dr. Kris Sperry said that there were elevated levels of testosterone. Chris tested clean for all anabolic steroids. Granted, the testosterone levels were high. But Kris Sperry also went on to state that even with his elevated levels of testosterone, there is no link between high testosterone level and the behavior that happened in the Chris Benoit murder.
This is -- this is one of the things where the media, when the people seized -- when the authorities seized Chris Benoit's house, they found anabolic steroids. So immediately the media wanted to latch onto that. Now the theories on whether or not Chris sedated his children -- or his child or his wife before suffocating them both, that is what it is. It's just theory.
Like I said, Larry, the last time I was on the show -- and thank you very much for having me back -- what we have is an unexplainable tragedy. And people will theorize about this for as long as they want to, similar to the murder of president John F. Kennedy. But it will be just that.
The toxicology report is out and it's obvious. Even with elevated levels of testosterone, Chris tested clean for anabolic steroids.
KING: All right.
But it's obvious, also, to assume, John, that he must have -- and maybe in an act of kindness in this weird case -- given the 7-year-old Xanax so that he would be relaxed and sedated.
