Mr. Kennedy shares his team from 2008 WWE Pharmacy Scandal – Pwmania

Former WWE star Mr. Kennedy opened up in 2008 about his participation in the notorious signature pharmacy scandal and followed a detailed report on what happened behind the scenes and how his WWE career had affected.

Kennedy spoke about Insight to Chris Van Vliet and described that he was unexpectedly called in Stamford, Connecticut, without a clear explanation in the headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. On arrival he was found that he was not alone – other names that went in Chavo Guerrero and Funaki.

“Edge was the first man who came in … he came back and he goes:” I can't say anything. It's not good, “Kennedy recalled.

When Kennedy was brought in, he learned that the meeting of the WWE was related to the signature pharmacy scandal, which focused on the illegal distribution of the performance-enhancing medication (PEDS) via an online network.

Kennedy explained that many wrestlers who had previously used Peds were implemented according to the wellness directive that they should stop immediately -a sudden change that called for a physical tribute given the intensive WWE time plan.

“We asked:” What can we do? “Hey, as long as you get a recipe, you are good,” said Kennedy. “So I did that … I had done blood tests. The doctor prescribed these things and I started taking them.”

Kennedy emphasized that he had never passed a drug test, but was involved in the source of his recipe due to a technical violation.

“I didn't even do a test. It was just because my name was added to this matter,” he said. He remembered that WWE chairman Vince McMahon told him: “You cannot have online pharmacy to fill your recipe.”

“I didn't know. My doctor filled it – he used an online pharmacy,” added Kennedy.

The incident was a turning point during the developing efforts of the WWE to enforce its wellness policy in the late 2000s, whereby several superstars were confronted with suspensions or examination due to technical drug tests.

Kennedy, who was once positioned as a breakout star in the WWE, would finally separate from the company in 2009, but the scandal remains one of the most controversial chapters of his career.
