Benoit's Tox Results, Lots More News & Notes
Scarborough Country notes from Tuesday night's episode:
Dr. Larry Kobilinsky (DNA and Foresnic Expert) said that tox labs involved in criminal cases do screening procedures, and the first set of tests looks for either drugs or poison. Drugs searched include Ethanol, Cocaine, and Marijuana, etc, but not steroids. Dr. Kobilinsky said testing to determine steroids will take longer.
Bruno Sammartino said there was steroid use in wrestling when he retired in 1981, but when he returned as a television commentator in 1984, steroid use was "Rampant."
"Superstar" Billy Graham took a few shots at Heidi Fleiss, the Hollywood madam, interviewed earlier on the show.
Dan Abrams said according to a tabloid report, Benoit attempted to keep Daniel away from his dead mother's body shortly before he murdered his seven year old son.
Marc Mero said last night's Raw was the lowest rated non-holiday show in three years. He said Vince McMahon needs to step up to the plate, or we will be having congressional hearings.
Rep. Cliff Stearns was interviewed on the show, the congressman that is calling for a steroid investigation in wrestling.
Abrams pointed out that the parents of Nancy Benoit encourages fans to donate to the Nancy and Daniel Benoit Foundation for Battered Women and Abused Children fund, implying domestic battery. Billy Graham said this issue will be addressed tomorrow night when his wife Valerie will be on the program. Graham said his wife had spoken to Nancy Benoit at a recent PPV in Baltimore during Billy's book tour.
