The New York Daily News published a list this afternoon of WWE performers who have reportedly been linked to the investigation by the Albany NY D.A.'s office into illegal steroid distribution.
The names listed were known to be clients of Signature Pharmacy and include Randy Orton, Booker T, Charlie Haas, Edge, Umaga, Shane Helms, John Morrison (Johnny Nitro), William Regal, Santino Marella, and Ken Kennedy. Also on the list of names was Mike "Nova" Bucci. ESPN adds Batista, Chris Masters, and Funaki to the list of former customers of Signature Pharmacy.
WWE announced earlier today that they had suspended 10 performers but did not list names. Many of the names on the Daily News list match the names we heard about earlier this afternoon. It's possible that some of the names listed in the Daily News story are not among those suspended because their use may have pre-dated the WWE Wellness Program
