'Doc prescribed drug like candy'
<!-- end headline or Pic Headline -->July 03, 2007
KILLER Chris Benoit was a systematic abuser of anabolic steroids thanks to a 'dirty doctor' prescribing him 10-month's worth every three to four weeks, drug enforcement cops in the States have revealed.
While authorities have not yet determined whether the murder of wife Nancy and seven-year-old son Daniel was due to an extended period of 'Roid Rage', it is clear that Chris's addiction played a large role in his mental breakdown.
Unbelievably, while receiving the huge quantities of steroids, Benoit, 40, PASSED a drugs test conducted on behalf of his employers at the WWE.
His physician, Dr Phil Astin, has been arrested and charged on seven counts of illegally distributing drugs to others.
At a press conference announcing the arrest, an investigating cop said: "Dr Astin allegedly prescribed these drugs like candy.
"Dirty doctors should be on notice that they face federal prosecution and federal prison time."
Benoit's decades of steroid abuse was combined with heavy consumption of painkillers, anti-depressants and other medication.
Police say the 'Canadian Crippler' was getting 10 months of steroids every three to four weeks from Dr Astin between May 4 2006 and May 9 2007.
Last week the wrestling company released a statement saying: "On the last test by WWE's independently administered drug testing program, done on April 10 2007, he tested negative."
On the day after Benoit murdered his family an old tag team partner of his, Shane 'Biff Wellington' Bower, was found dead in his home at the age of just 42.

DEA Knew Of Benoit's Excessive Steroid Buys
Killer wrestler bought 10-month anabolic supply every few weeks
JULY 2--Wrestler Chris Benoit was identified by Drug Enforcement Administration agents as an "excessive purchaser of injectable steroids" who, over the past year, was prescribed a 10-month supply of anabolic steroids every three to four weeks by a Georgia doctor who was indicted today on federal charges. Benoit, who last week murdered his wife and son before committing suicide, came to the attention of DEA agents probing RX Weight Loss, a Marietta company. It was during that investigation, which is "currently being prosecuted in the Northern District of Georgia," that narcotics agents discovered the World Wrestling Entertainment performer's steroid purchases, according to a June 29 search warrant affidavit (an excerpt of which you'll find below). The warrant was executed at the home of Phil Astin, Benoit's doctor. In the affidavit, DEA Agent Anissa Jones reports that pharmacy records show that, from May 2006 to May 2007, Astin prescribed Benoit, on average, "a 10-month supply of anabolic steroids...every three to four weeks." Astin, the affidavit notes, has been the "subject of concern for excessive and/or suspicious prescribing activity" by local police and pharmacies. Astin, 52, was named today in a seven-count indictment charging him with the illegal distribution of substances like Percocet and Xanax between April 2004 and September 2005. A preliminary DEA review of Astin's prodigious prescription writing has revealed that he "authorized approximately one million dosage units :monsters- of various pharmaceutical controlled substances in the last two years." These scrips included "significant quantities" of an injectable anabolic steroid, reported Jones. (5 pages)
