Triple H’s nutritionist and former competitive bodybuilder, Dave Palumbo, recently made an appearance on the Matt Riviera podcast to offer his thoughts on the WWE’s drug testing policy. Palumbo claimed that WWE allows its Superstars to used performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) human growth hormone (HGH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HGC):
“They’re allowed to take hormone replacement. They can go to an HRT place and get testosterone replacement, 100 mg a week, whatever they prescribe nowadays. Those are acceptable. A lot of the wrestlers do it, and it’s not for me to say whose using what, but they’re very minimal doses.”
Shortly after the podcast aired, WWE issued a statement in response to Palumbo’s claims via Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
“Today, WWE responded to the comments that Palumbo made by saying that he was misinformed on the subject and the drug policy does not allow for use of those substances unless an endocrinologist and the WWE’s medical staff approved of it for legitimate medical need”
