Q Did you follow up on this e-mail in any other way?

A Well, one of the guys, like I said, we never invited in. And the other guy came for us to see him. And after that one appearance, he was no longer there.

Q Were you concerned Mr. Barton in that e-mail makes reference to confusion within -- is sounds like to some confusion within -- among individuals who are lower in the organization about where the organization should stand with regard to drug use. Were you concerned that this confusion existed?

A No. The problem lies with the head of talent, creative Jeff Jarrett, not -- and Terry Taylor not being -­Terry is not his favorite person. He thinks he is -- you know, he is not a good agent on the show, he is laying out matches and things like that. So Terry is in essence scared of Jeff and I think he didn't know in this situation -­since creative wanted him and he didn't have the ability to give him an answer of what he should do.

Q Okay. Do you know if Mr. Barton provided an answer to Mr. Taylor about his concerns, a specific answer regarding --

A I believe it is the same thing I communicated to Andy. And at this point on August 9th, we had testing set up for steroids and drugs for September 10th. And if they were going to stay, they would be subjected to the testing within four weeks. So we knew that that was happening as well.

Mr Cohen. Sam or Sarah, do you want to ask anything about this particular e-mail?

Ms. Safavian. Can I just follow up on what you mentioned about the testing that was beginning on September 10th?

EXAMINATION BY MS. SAFAVIAN:

Q Did it happen?

A No, it didn't. We did it in advance of receiving the letter from the committees and then were advised that we should just hold off on the testing in case we were given certain provisions that we'd need to provide. So we were told just to hold off until we heard back from Congress in case there were certain things that we needed to do differently.

Q With regard to your testing?

A With regard to testing, correct.

Q Had you notified the talent that there was going to be this testing on September 10th?

A Uh-huh.

Q So they were all aware that within a few weeks you were going to have the testing done?

A We set it up through -- we have an orthopedic surgeon on staff with us at every show and he had set it up through a hospital in Florida.

Q What did you end up telling the talent when you cancelled the testing?
