To me, what this says, is that while the long term use of steroids was a contributory factor, it would be no more of a factor than stress, untreated concussions, exhaustion, possibly Daniel's condition, marital problems, etc... the guy just lost his mind. Maybe the media will pick that up and go with it but I suspect that they will ignore the story now that they can't spin a sexy steroids bowtie onto it.

Investigators said Tuesday they found steroids and other drugs in the body of pro wrestler Chris Benoit, who killed his wife and young son last month before hanging himself in the family's home.
Umm...what was that?
ChadTower:
Bad reporting. Read the actual press conference and not summarized reports.
Other drugs: Xanax and hydrocodone.
Steroids: no.
Injected testosterone: yes.
The two are not the same.

--- Quote ---The tests, conducted by Julian Bailes of the Sports Legacy Institute, show that Benoit's brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient.
Bailes and his research team say that this damage was the result of a lifetime of chronic concussions and head trauma suffered while Benoit was in the wrestling ring.

This is what was always my first instinct on this... dude was brain damaged. It was always obvious his wrestling style was going to kill him eventually... way way way too much self inflicted head and neck trauma. No one saw coming what actually happened, though.

An interesting twist on a case that will likely never get the media attention it should.
