The Daily Star in Great Britain published an article that alleged that Chris Benoit was working as a steroid supplier for other WWE superstars. With the large amount of steroids that Dr. Phil Astin prescribed, this would not be out of the question however nothing has been confirmed.

In the article William Regal commented on the entire Benoit situation stating, "Chris and me were the grumpy old men, making out the younger wrestlers didn't have enough respect for the business. We used to police the dressing rooms together, making sure they didn't leave any trash in the dressing rooms and stuff like that. But you'd only ever be friends with Chris on his terms. The only way I can rationalize is to say that Chris lost the plot. I know, I've done it myself, had blackouts and all kinds of stuff. I can only think the poor lad has snapped, killed Nancy and thought that his son, who had problems, would have to grow up without parents and he thought it was a mercy killing. I am hoping someone can tell me that so I can put it to bed. I'm going to remember Chris for everything except the last two days of his life."
