We all heard that there were some wrestlers that were going to be suspended for using steroids but can we as a group name all of those that were suspended for using them and what are thy doing in the meantime? Also haw many wrestlers have quit the WWE and gone on in other endeavors? Inquiring minds want to know.

11 workers were suspended and one should have been (Orton) but he was in a major storyline.
All are back from the suspensions except for Booker T (suspended 60 days due to a prior offense) and Sharemell. They now are no longer with WWE.
The rest - Umaga, Kennedy, Chavo, Regal, Flair, and several others as well as Gregory Helms who is off anyway, are off suspension and back in action (except Helms who is recovering from neck surgery).
How many have quit in the wake of this newest steroid scandal? Just Booker T and Sharmell. Everyone else stayed on. Booker plans to retire but we may see him in TNA.

The suspended workers are back working again. It only lasted for 30 days and thats over with. The only one I know who wants out is Booker T and I can't blame him stuck in that gimmick.
The ones I heard of being involved include Orton, Booker T, John Morrison, Kennedy, Umaga, Regal, Edge, Marsella, Helms and Haas.
ESPN news added Batista and Mysterio Jr to the list but Batista striaght out denied having any part of business with the pharmacy under investigation.

The only thing that I know is that 10 WWE wrestlers were suspended for substance abuse violations but the names of those wrestlers have not been announced. Supposedly their names will be announced at some point but not until the investigation has concluded and has gone through court. I think that Booker T may have been one and had Benoit not killed himself and his family, he would have been another one.
