Before the ECW/SmackDown taping in Cincinnati, Ohio, on September 1st, Stephanie McMahon conducted a talent meeting. The meeting was held at 4 pm with the main subject being the changes to the Wellness Program. The main changes made to the program and announced to the talent are:

* New talent signed by WWE will need to be drug tested before being signed.

* Marijuana testing will now be in effect by WWE. If tested positive, talent will be fined one thousand dollars each time failed. Also, if tested positive for marijuana, talent will not be suspended and will not be included in their “three strikes” rule.

* The drug 'anti-estrogen' will be added to the banned items talent will be tested for.

* From November 1st, talent who violate the Wellness Program will be made public by WWE.

Also, before the ECW/SmackDown taping took place on Saturday, Triple H addressed the stars during a pre-show meeting. He told the stars that the whole industry is now being under attack and it's now time for everyone to stick together.

All the wrestlers that were suspended flew out to Stamford for a meeting with Vince McMahon. As of press time, there are 10 wrestlers who were suspended and there is no indication that any more suspensions will be coming. While the identites of the wrestlers suspended have not been confirmed by WWE, many active wrestlers on the list have been written off of TV. The wrestlers who have been suspended for 30 days are: Charlie Haas, Edge, Gregory Helmes, John Morrison, William Regal, Mr. Kennedy, Umaga, Funaki and Chavo Guerrero. Randy Orton, despite being on the Pharmacy list, will not be suspended. Sources in WWE are saying that Orton has already been punished for this in the past. Also not suspended was Santino Marella, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Although no reason has been given as to why Marella has not been suspended, some believe it is because he had received the packages before being brought on the official WWE roster.
