Lawyer: Benoit Prescriptions Okay Due to Hormone Condition
According to the lawyer for Chris Benoit’s physician the now-deceased WWE superstar could be prescribed high amounts of steroids due to a hormone condition. Here is an excerpt from an article on ESPN:
In a motion to suppress evidence filed Monday, Dr. Phil Astin’s attorney, Manny Arora, said a federal agent failed to tell a judge who issued search warrants in the case about the legitimate uses of steroids.
Arora wrote that if the government had consulted a hormone disorder specialist, it would have learned that “the amount of medication in question was not excessive and would be medically appropriate based on the medical condition of Mr. Benoit.”
The court filing did not elaborate on Benoit’s condition. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment.
For now the details remain vague but this seems to further the case against steroids contributing to the situation that played out but as the case progresses more details should come out on what his exact condition was or if the prescribed steroids were within reasonable and established medical boundaries.
