A Locust Grove, Georgia man claims to have found several bottles labeled as containing human growth hormone, testosterone, neomasteron, and syringes inside his home, which once belonged to a WWE wrestler. No charges have been filed and police have asked the local media not to release the name of the individual until they speak to him and test the substances. They believe the wrestler is staying with family members in another state.

The current homeowner claims his daughter found two shoeboxes that contained the drugs, syringes, a WWE contract, and a 2004 memo sent to wrestlers regarding the company's dress code. "My kids actually play up in that room and so the first thing I thought is what if they were to open that and they would have gotten a hold of the stuff and the syringes," the current homeowner told FOX5 News in Georgia.

WWE's director of publicity Kevin Hennesy stated: "Wrestlers can only be prescribed steroids by a physician, which is rare and only for a specific medical condition and it is usually taken orally. If a wrestler is injecting steroids for performance enhancing purposes that would be a matter for local law enforcement." To read the full story, visit MyFoxAtlanta.com.

Powell’s POV: For obvious reasons, I'm not going to speculate about the identity of the wrestler involved. I'm sure that information will be released soon enough if the allegations are accurate. The only thing I really know about Locust Grove is that former WWE developmental territory Deep South Wrestling ran there in the past. I'll continue to keep you updated on this story as further information is released.
