Former WWE superstar says WWE released him the first time for abusing painkillers
Chris Masters says WWE released him the first time for abusing painkillers:
“That’s one thing I want to clarify too. A lot of people think automatically that it was performance enhancing drugs or steroids with me when my problem – I didn’t have a problem with steroids. My problem was painkillers and basically prescription pills and that was the demons I was battling at that time. It wasn’t, ‘Chris Masters couldn’t stay off testosterone for two months to pass a drug test.’ No. I had personal issues with those prescription pills, which a lot of people are facing today obviously.”
