Although the Wellness Policy was put into effect after these alleged transactions occurred, the story is getting major media coverage. The Associated Press has picked up the SI.com article, which means that the article will be featured all over the place over the next few days. Many major outlets including FOX News, MSNBC, CNN, and ESPN have already covered the story. Colin Cowherd talked in detail on the subject yesterday on ESPN Radio, including nearly ten minutes on the passing of Eddie Guerrero in 2005.
PWInsider.com reports that there were quite a few Wellness tests given backstage at last night's ECW/Smackdown taping in Cleveland, Ohio. One source estimated over two dozen WWE performers were given urine tests that afternoon. Since WWE doesn't give talent advance notice, there's no way to know whether the testing was already planned. However it does seem likely that the tests were administered due to all the media attention.
