7. No Anabolic Steroids Were Found In His Body
One of the quickest assumptions that people made when the incident first occurred, was that this was a case of a wrestler who abused steroids and ended up snapping. It may be interesting to note that no anabolic steroids were found in his body at the time of his death (though there were some in the house). That doesn’t mean that Benoit was not still under the influence of other factors. Reports stated that his body contained roughly, 10 times the normal level of testosterone. Benoit’s toxicology report also showed the painkiller hydrocodone in his system. That’s not to say that Benoit didn’t steroids in his career, but it may not have played a direct role in the incident. Reports did uncover significant areas of brain damage that may be associated with multiple concussions.
