Waarom was die slecht dan, ik (en andere) vonden het juist een hele goede RAW.

Major Chris Benoit Press Conference Tomorrow, More News
Story posted by Ryan Clark on September 04, 2007

In a recent interview with NYDailyNews.com, U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) recently commented on WWE's actions of suspending wrestlers in the company. Stearns didn't have many kind words in response to the action by WWE adding quote, "The WWE does not have a drug policy that's worth a flip. Because the WWE didn't catch them, the district attorney in (Albany) New York investigated and found them. If those are all from Signature Pharmacy, I'd like to know how many other pharmacies might be involved."

Stearns also commented further on how he felt WWE didn't provide Congress with enough information about their current drug testing policy adding, "We asked them for their testing information; what they came back with was not sufficient. We do not have a copy (of the actual testing policy). We didn't understand whether it was random, what the threshold (level for drugs) was, whether any of these wrestlers were getting post-dated prescriptions after the fact."

A press conference will be held tomorrow morning at 10:45 a.m. Eastern at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York to release findings from the examination of the brain of Chris Benoit.

Michael Benoit, the father of Chris, gave Julian Bailes, MD, the Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at West Virginia University, the rights to examine his son's brain. Michael Benoit will be speaking at the press conference along with Dr. Robert Cantu (Director of sports Medicine at Emerson Hospital in Concord, MA) and Cary Itchter (Benoit's lawyer).

It is believed at this point that the findings reveal at the press conference will confirm damage that would enable a "diminished capaciy" defense for Chris Benoit's slaying of his wife and son before killing himself. As reported earlier, Michael Benoit will be appearing on ABC this Thursday on "Good Morning America" and "Nightline" to talk about the diminished capacity theory.

Report: Chris Benoit's Brain Was Severely Damaged

Reported by Ryan Gray on 09/05/2007

ABC News is confirming that tests conducted by Julian Bailes of the Sports Legacy Institute show that Chris Benoit’s brain was severely damaged at the time he murdered his wife and son before taking his own life. According to the tests his brain resembled that of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient. Bailes said that the damage was the result of lifetime chronic concussions and head trauma.

Chris Benoit was famous for his flying headbutt, which is a lot of stress on the brain each time the maneuver is pulled off. While nothing can justify his actions, this at least helps the coping process.

Hoe kunnen ze dat weten als zn hersenen al in staat van ontbinding waren toen ze hem vonden? Hersenen houden het namelijk niet zo lang uit als je al een tijdje dood in een graadje of 25 a 30 hangt

quote:

In Benoit's case, the damage was found in every section of the brain — all four lobes and deep into the brain stem.

"It was extensive throughout Chris' brain," Bailes said. "This is something you should never see in a 40-year-old."

The damage is proof, Bailes said, that Benoit suffered multiple, probably chronic, concussions over the course of many years.

Benoit, in fact, told friends he had suffered "more concussions than he could count."

Benoit's brain showed the same kind of damage Bailes and his team found in four retired NFL players who also suffered multiple concussions and later sank into deep depressions and harmed themselves or others.

Perhaps most disturbing, a person doesn't need to have sustained dozens of concussions to see problems later in life.

"Our research shows that three concussions may be the threshold for lasting damage," Bailes said.

This kind of brain damage isn't new to athletes, but doctors and researchers are starting to understand it better. As far back as the 1920s, career boxers were diagnosed with "punch drunk syndrome," which is now known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Bailes said that while he can't be certain that the brain damage caused Benoit's actions, he believes it is the leading cause.

"We think these changes are not due to steroids," Bailes said. "That has never really been studied, but it's never been in the medical literature or any research that shows steroids do this to the brain. These changes [in the brain] were found in the 1920s before steroids were even invented."

Nou, blijkbaar hebben ze gewoon bruikbaar tissue gevonden. Zoveel hoeft dat ook weer niet te zijn om onderzoek te kunnen doen. De wetenschap kan nog wel meer dingen waar jij niets van af weet. Enkel omdat jij (en ik) de techniek niet begrijpen, hoeft het nog niet te betekenen dat het niet kan.

Breaking News: Test Fired By TNA Wrestling
Story posted by Ryan Clark on September 05, 2007

Andrew "Test" Martin is already gone from TNA Wrestling. Martin was brought in last month and was immediately pushed into a top match at TNA's last PPV. The reason for his firing is his unreasonably muscular physique. At a time when TNA is being investigated by the United States Congress, Martin stuck out like a sore thumb and management was convinced he could not pass a drug test.

Test was told he could come back to the company when he loses considerable weight.

TNA iMPACT! Expanding To 2 Hours - Announcement Imminent
Story posted by Ryan Clark on September 05, 2007

It's been rumored for months and now its as close to official as ever. TNA iMPACT! will be expanding to two hours within the next month. The first two hour episode could take place as soon as the October 5th show.

TNA iMPACT! will remain on Thursday nights and will continue to be taped in Orlando. At this point, it would be too expensive to take the show on the road and go live each week.

SpikeTV is said to be pleased with TNA's current ratings and are not expecting an increase when the show gets a second hour. It would be considered an accomplishment for TNA to be able to keep their entire audience for the extra hour.
