10 Despicable Double Standards We See In WWE

10. Wellness Testing

When Brock Lesnar failed a USADA drugs test while training for his UFC return last year, the Nevada State Athletic Commission slapped him with a $250,000 fine and a one-year suspension from competition.

Yet, there was no such punishment from WWE.

That’s because, somewhere down the line, WWE had quietly adjusted its Wellness Policy to apply exclusively to full-time performers. The argument was that, as a part-time talent, Lesnar was exempt from Wellness testing and therefore no disciplinary action was required. Which, by the way, means that the likes of the Rock, Triple H and the Undertaker are presumably also exempt from testing.

Lesnar went on to headline and win at that year’s SummerSlam with no hint of his push being impeded. Meanwhile, had a full-time performer been flagged for the same offence – and assuming the substance was on WWE’s blacklist – they’d be facing a fine, suspension and a strike against their name, three of which would see them lose their job.

What makes this worse is that part-timers are invariably already the bigger stars, and yet here they are allowed to take supplements - not that they do, of course not! - to further differentiate themselves from the pack.
