Benoit named in steroid probe
The AP reports that DEA records show Chris Benoit's name surfaced in a steroid investigation before his wife son and his own death. Benoit was not charged though steroids remained in his Atlanta area home and a doctor faced later scrutiny for prescribing practices. The case underscores the focus on networks over users in drug investigations and notes Benoit's doctor was charged with improper prescriptions while Benoit himself faced no charges.
