Report: Randy Orton Fails Drug Test

The Wrestling-Observer Newsletter is reporting that notes that Randy Orton recently failed a WWE-issued drug test.

Evidently, Orton is one of WWE's "non-suspensions." This would be a reference to the new company wellness policy, which removes the stipulation that a wrestler who fails a drug test will be pulled from the road for thirty days.

The policy was changed in response to the SmackDown! roster scare from two months ago (where numerous wrestlers were diagnosed with a disease) and now calls for superstars to be docked pay and bonuses, as opposed to suffering through a suspension.

Critics, understandably, have attacked WWE's new policy, arguing that it favors business over health. It's hard to argue with this fact when Orton has seemed to receive preferential treatment on WWE RAW for years now.
