Rey Mysterio Jr., Mark Jindrak mentioned in Benoit Doctor investigation

This only sorta has to do with lucha libre, but I feel an obligation to post about to note what it actually says before it gets reworded on message boards.

Fox 5 Atlanta – thanks to Dr. Keith.

Sources close to the investigation confirmed that pro wrestlers, Oscar Gutierrez and Mark Jindrak, were in fact patients identified by their initials, M.J. and O.G., in the federal indictment.

….

Dr. Astin has been charged with seven counts of distributing excessive amounts of painkillers. The federal indictment alleges the doctor over-prescribed prescription pain killers to Gutierrez and Jindrak.

Drug agents said that just because the medical records of Gutierrez and Jindrak were seized and part of the investigation, didn’t mean that either of them were prescribed steroids or over-prescribed other drugs.

So, at this point, Rey and Corelone aren’t being charged with anything. On Observer Live, Konnan suggested Benoit might have been similar over-prescribed for steroids because he was passing them on to other wrestlers. If that’s the case here and evidence is found to prove it, only then is there any trouble. Right now, the investigators are focused on the doctor.

There’s no mention of when these prescriptions were given – it’s possible this is a doctor they both used while in WCW, and don’t anymore.

I doubt CMLL addresses this. I don’t know if WWE will either, though I suspect they won’t.

Comments are off. My general feeling is there’s nothing good that can come from a steroid discussion on a mostly anonymous commenting system, and moderating such a thing isn’t worth my time. There’s plenty of message boards elsewhere to have that discussion.

(And every time I mention a drug, the pharmacy spam bots hit me harder.)
