Dot Net Exclusive: Jeff Hardy suspension update
Mar 11, 2008 - 11:35 PM |
|
Jeff Hardy had a long meeting with Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis before Raw on Monday to discuss his 60-day suspension for violating the wellness policy. Although WWE spokesperson Gary Davis would not specify to the Associated Press which drug Hardy tested positive for, multiple sources tell Prowrestling.net that the suspension is related to recreational drug use and is not attributable to performance enhancing drugs.
Hardy was said to be subdued and mindful of his words in front of most members of the locker room on Monday because he knew anything he said could come back to haunt him. There’s no word yet on whether management has asked him to seek treatment. The wellness policy states that WWE officials have the right to suspend a second time offender indefinitely if company officials want the wrestler to seek treatment and he refuses.
Powell’s POV: Hardy left the company and took a long hiatus the last time WWE officials wanted him to seek treatment back in 2003. He’s famous for marching to the beat of his own drum, so there’s no telling how he will react if a similar request was made during Monday’s meeting.
