Benoit Autopsy Report

[heatherrae]

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.

That is what I always thought. I'm sure lots of juicer deny the effect, but I bet it does at least affect the amount of aggression. That doesn't mean everyone flips out and hurts someone, but surely testosterone is related to libido and aggression in males.

I'm not saying that Benoit killed everyone because of that. I'm just saying that it is possible that it was a contributing factor. Let's face it, only a NUT kills his family like that, steroids or not.

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)

3)DeNoon, Daniel. Don't Blame Testosterone for Aggression: Angry, Hostile Men Don't Have Extra Sex Hormone. WebMD Medical News, November 11, 2003. A newspaper article reporting on recent findings that Testosterone might not be the most important factor in aggression.


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).

A thorough biological examination of aggression and the role that hormones play in facilitating/inhibiting aggressive behaviors. Many studies sited, comprehensible graphs presented.

I've read both sides of the argument and to me i can only really go on what i know personally. To me, it is common sense and very obvious that testosterone makes a person more aggressive. I'm not necessarily talking more violent because that can be controlled and is psychological but testosterone is what makes a man sexually agressive (this IS fact) and also stronger and more physically able...you can't be very aggressive when you have low testosterone and are tired all the time. I don't believe that is really possible. Try doing some things which have been shown to raise testosterone naturally...they'll make you feel agressive. Personally, if i don't have sex for even a day i could knock holes in the nearest wall.

Old men will rarely have the same level of aggression as a younger man because of the hormones difference. Just like women will have more of a 'slow burn' aggression (which has to build up before they lose control) than men.

Yep. Agreed on all points.

For real.

I wonder if before he locked it in... he did the thumb across the throat gesture and blew his nose on the kid like he did his opponents in the ring.

You realize you're going to hell for soooooo many reasons, including that post.

maybe he slammed him a few times with some rolling German Suplexes but the kid kept getting up........

Fuck Fox News

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Investigators found testosterone, painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs in the body of professional wrestler Chris Benoit, who killed his wife and son last month before hanging himself in his Atlanta home, a medical examiner said Tuesday.


Investigators found steroids in the body of pro wrestler Chris Benoit, who killed his family in June.

Dr. Kris Sperry, Georgia's chief medical examiner, said the body of Benoit's wife, Nancy, also contained painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs.

Sperry said it's likely the Benoits' 7-year-old son, Daniel, was sedated at the time he was murdered, because a high level of the anti-anxiety drug Xanax was found in the boy's system.

Xanax is not normally prescribed for children, Sperry said.

Chris Benoit's body contained an "elevated" level of testosterone and therapeutic levels of Xanax and the painkiller hydrocodone, Sperry said.

But, he said, the level of testosterone revealed nothing conclusive about the wrestler's state of mind before his death.

"There's no reliable scientific data that says elevated levels of testosterone lead to psychotic rage," Sperry said.

"The only thing we can ascertain is that this level of testosterone indicates that he had been using testosterone at least in some reasonably short period of time before he died," he said. "It could be an indication he was being treated for testicular insufficiency."

The investigators found no other drugs, including steroids, in Benoit's body.

The investigation into the Benoits' deaths led to speculation that the wrestler may have been injecting steroids and had experienced what is called " 'roid rage," leading him to kill his wife and son.

An official who is part of the investigation told CNN last month that Benoit's name was on receipts that indicated he had purchased shipments of anabolic steroids and human growth hormones from Signature Pharmacy.

The Orlando, Florida, facility is at the center of a nationwide investigation into the sale of illegal steroids.

Phil Astin, Benoit's personal doctor, has been indicted by a grand jury on seven charges of improperly dispensing and distributing painkillers and other drugs. Astin has been released on $125,000 bond and is under house arrest.

Although Benoit's name was not mentioned in Astin's indictment, his arrest stemmed from the investigation into the Benoits' deaths.

"Through prescription records for Mr. Benoit maintained at a pharmacy in Fayetteville, Georgia, Dr. Astin was identified as prescribing, on average, a 10-month supply of anabolic steroids to Mr. Benoit every three to four weeks from May 4, 2006, through May 9, 2007," the U.S. attorney's office said.

Sperry said the body of Nancy Benoit also contained therapeutic levels of hydrocodone and Xanax, along with hydromorphone, which he said is a byproduct of the breakdown of hydrocodone.

Nancy Benoit's blood alcohol level was .184, which is over the legal limit for intoxication, but Sperry said all of the alcohol found in her body "could come from the decomposition process."

Sperry said investigators did not have enough specimen to test for steroids or human growth hormone in Daniel's body. Daniel's body showed signs of needle marks at the time of his death, but Sperry could not speculate why.

District Attorney Scott Ballard would not answer questions about the state of the investigation into the Benoits' deaths, which he said is ongoing.

"We'd rather wait until we have more of the pieces so we can be more accurate and discuss more of a whole what happened," he said. "We're trying to envision as best we can what happened inside that household. This (the toxicology report) adds one element to all the other elements."

Police have said Benoit, 40, strangled his wife, Nancy, and suffocated Daniel, then placed Bibles next to their bodies before hanging himself on a portable weight machine over the weekend of June 23.

puhleeeease.

I am all for roids and our freedom to use them (if we had that freedom)

but to say they don't cause aggression and rage is simply false. It's simply up to the individual using them to controll that aggression.

Simmer down roid rookie, no need to raise your voice.

roids alone "CAN NEVER AND WILL NEVER" cause someone to off their whole family............in the way that benoit did it, he'd been thinkin about it for some time........is it possible that some elevated testosterone level finally made him snap and pull the trigger on his plan?? maybe.........but it was a matter of time anyway. How many psycho's have we seen in this country off their whole family? happens every couple of years...........how about the bitch that locked her kids in the car and then rolled it off into a lake...........roid rage??
