Dot Net Exclusive: Update on William Regal's 60-day suspension

William Regal is said to be understandably deflated about violating the Wellness Policy for a second time. He recognized the fact that he was in the midst of the biggest push of his career and he knows that the timing couldn't have been worse.
Although Regal has battled addiction problems over the years, multiple sources say they have not witnessed any signs of a relapse. However, WWE does not release specific details regarding their testing, so there's no way of knowing for sure what was discovered in his system. A company spokeswoman declined to comment on the positive test when contacted by the Hartford Courant earlier today.
Powell's POV: Regal is known for taking supplements as part of his training and one source speculated that it's at least possible he unknowingly took something that contained a banned substance. Of course, that's a common excuse from mainstream athletes when they fail tests, but it can't be ruled out.
I've spoken with people close to Regal who say they would be stunned if he were using again because he's shown no signs of relapsing. Again, though, nothing is official because the company does not release specific information regarding its drug suspensions.
