From Wrestling Observer:

Lead story on Atlanta news tonight could be major embarrassment to WWE and drug policy



Fox 5 in Atlanta tonight had as one of its lead stories, an item about a man who moved into a home he had just purchased from a WWE wrestler (whose name was not identified in the story).

He found who shoe boxes filled with steroids and Growth Hormone in a crawl space in the wall along with a copy of the wrestlers current contract and a memo regarding changes in the dress code.

They announced they weren't releasing the name of the wrestler who just moved until they spoke with him first.

----

WSB-TV channel 2 in Atlanta is identifying the steroids and human growth hormones found in a Locust Valley, Georgia home as belonging to ECW star Mike Knox (real name Michael Hettinga).

Going on the 2004 date of the WWE dress code memo found in the boxes, Knox would have been in WWE developmental as part of Deep South Wrestling during that time period. WWE created the Wellness Policy and subsequent drug testing in late 2005 after the death of Eddie Guerrero.

Ouch. 'Roids must be hurtin' the brain, cause the stash is the first thing you should remember to clear out.

Actually, I've got to wonder about how old these are. Dress code change- that was a while ago, wasn't it?

I'm not going to give any names, but if the wrestler is who I'm thinking it might be, the stash makes no difference anymore.

Well they said the were going to speak with him, so I don't think it's who your thinking it is because it would be really hard to speak with the guy that I think your thinking of.

Well they probably said that otherwise everyone would know who it is, for the purpose of protecting the identity of this person we'll call him Chris.B, no thats too obvious C.Benoit.

Why would the press want to protect Chris Benoit? They would jump all over it if it was him and same that's what drove him to do what he did.

Can you think of another wrestler that it could be then, all the evidence points to benoit seeing as hes 1 of the only wrestlers i recall living in that area plus his house would have been up for sale seeing as hes dead and would anyone in the right mind keep steroids in thje vents and forget about them.

If any young wrestling promoter out there is interested, you can probably start hashing out some dates for Mike Knox to work for you in roughly 90 days or so, because I'm thinking his availability is probably about to open up. Not that there's any guarantee Knox's loyal fanbase, the Knoxans, will follow with this disappointing revelation.

Media outlets in Georgia have linked WWE wrestler Mike Knox to the HGH and steroids discovered in a home in Locust Grove, GA, a home Knox used to live in. WWE, however, told FOX in Georgia that Knox was among four developmental talents who rented a home together at that address and that of the four, only Knox is now under contract to the company. Knox has denied the drugs are his even though a box found near the drugs contained Knox's WWE contract and other documents. Check out FOX's full story here.

Meanwhile, PWInsider.com reports that two of the other wrestlers who lived in the home were former WWE developmental talents Ryan O'Riley and Derek Niekirk. Niekirk was released by WWE last year due to drug violations while O'Riley left the company because he didn't want to be on the road all the time.

- The Associated Press released this story today.

Police investigate substances found in wrestler's former home

The Associated Press -- LOCUST GROVE, Ga. -- Police are investigating after substances that appeared to be steroids were found in a home where a pro wrestler once lived.

Police say the items could be linked to wrestler Mike Hettinga, who wrestles for World Wrestling Entertainment under the name Mike Knox.

Judson Powell says he and his adult daughter had moved into the home and she was putting some things in an upstairs crawl space when she found two boxes. The boxes contained about 20 syringes and several bottles and vials of various substances. Some were labeled as steroids, he said.

The boxes also contained WWE contracts and other paperwork referring to Hettinga, Powell said.

Powell notified police, who took the objects for testing.

Henry County Police Capt. Jason Bolton said WWE officials are aware of the investigation involving the substances found in the home.

"We have spoken with WWE Vice President Richard Hering, who has offered to assist us in every way with the investigation," Bolton said.

In a statement sent to The Associated Press on Tuesday, WWE said four wrestlers have lived at the home and only one of them currently wrestles for the organization.

"This performer has denied to WWE officials, as well as to Henry County Police Department officials, that the items discovered in this home belonged to him," WWE said in the statement.

WWE also said that its wellness policy prohibits the use or possession of performance enhancing drugs.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a new article up on the Mike Knox/steroid story, saying that his pay stubs, plane ticket receipts, old bills and prescriptions were all found near the drugs at his old home in Locust Grove, GA. They said they attempted to contact Knox about the story but that he did not respond. Check out the full story here.
