#1. Kurt Angle reveals how Randy Orton and RVD bypassed WWE drug tests
Trending
WWE's drug testing policies and stance towards marijuana, in particular, have often been topics of debate amongst the online wrestling community.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
During the most recent edition of 'The Kurt Angle Show' on AdFreeShows.com, Kurt Angle revealed WWE's drug testing details and how RVD and Randy Orton found a way to evade possible suspensions.
Kurt Angle revealed that talents were tested around seven times a year by WWE, and the company would fine the wrestlers who failed tests. The Olympic Hero then stated that Randy Orton and RVD offered to pay the fines upfront.
"Well, I think that the WWE, what they are doing right now, and I don't know if it has changed since I left, but they would just fine the wrestler. So, you're going to get drug tested seven times a year. If you're going to fail seven times a year, and this is one of the wrestlers, this is what I heard one of the wrestlers say, and I might as well say who it is, Randy Orton and Rob Van Dam," Kurt Angle said.
WWE Superstars were fined $2000 for a failed test, and Orton and RVD were willing to pay $14,000 in advance to bypass the testing procedures. Angle added that while talents don't get suspended anymore, they do get fined by the company
"They basically told the company that they would, 'How much were the fines, and how many drug tests would I do this year?' So, they wanted to pay the money upfront (laughs). I think the fine was two thousand dollars, so they just said, 'Here, take 14 grand, I'm good.' They would bypass the test, and they wouldn't get suspended. So, I think marijuana, they have been lighter on about because it's not banned anymore. You don't get suspended, but you still get fined," added Kurt Angle. H/t Sportskeeda
