Steroid Blog

Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon, the presumptive Republican candidate for Senate in Connecticut, once ran a business that was plagued by steroid scandals. But she tells Business Week that she’s doesn’t believe the drugs are necessarily bad.

According to Business Week, the WWE, which McMahon ran along with her husband (an admitted former steroids user), has been subject to congressional investigations over steroids for years.

When I asked Linda McMahon about the issue, however, she said she shared her husband’s doubts. “There’s some evidence sometimes of muscle disease, or cardiac disease, but it’s really hard to know because you didn’t know the condition of the performer’s heart, or whatever, prior to,” she told me. “So I still don’t think we know the long-term effects of steroids. They are continuing to study it more and more, but I don’t believe there are a lot of studies out there today that are conclusive.”
