lol @ Benoit not being on steroids. He was built like a tank and looked like he wanted to tear his opponent apart with his teeth.
Also, it seems common sense to me that 'roid rage' is just a term for aggression as a result of high testosterone levels. Testosterone is what causes men to be more agressive than women, the more testosterone you have, the more aggressive you are liekly to be. Therefore it's very possible that Benoit's higher than normal test levels played 'a part' in the killings.
no there is no correlation there is only causaul relations between though. casual realations mean nothing.
some studies have found that it is not testosterone level that is the best predictor of aggression, but that obesity and lower levels of "good" cholesterol tend to be the best predictors of aggressive behavior in human males. (3)

when a hormone such as testosterone acts on a target neuron, the amount of neurotransmitter that is release is significantly affected. For example, it has been suggested (i.e., with experimental data) that testosterone acts on serotonergic synapses and lowers the amount of 5-HT available for synaptic transmission. This is important when coupled with the fairly well accepted idea that the presence of 5-HT serves to inhibit aggression, as shown convincingly in studies done on male rhesus monkeys: Serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as Fluoxentine and several other antidepressants lead to a significant decrease in aggression in both monkeys and humans (2).
