A story on F4WOnline.com Wednesday notes that WWE has officially incorporated a ban of the drug carisoprodol, trade name Soma, into its talent wellness policy. Though not yet noted on WWE’s corporate website, the amendment has reportedly already gone into effect.<\/p>\n
The amendment was attributed to “issues” that took place with the WWE talent over the weekend. A party drug that is popular with a “certain segment of the talent base,” according to F4W, there have been numerous incidents in which wrestlers passed out in public due to overuse of the drug. In a 2007 interview, former WWE Diva Terri Runnels told TMZ, “I’ve personally seen a WWE Superstar nearly die right in front of me after taking 13 Somas…while still behind the wheel of his car!”<\/p>\n
While muscle relaxers, including carisoprodol, had previously been prohibited for “non-medical use,” the new amendment reportedly bans use of the drug even when prescribed by a doctor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
