WWE.com has now reported that Sabu and WWE and ECW Champion Rob Van Damn were both cited for possession of illegal drugs in Ohio last night.
And according to WWE.com, the two will be allowed to compete on WWE programming this week (RAW tonight and ECW tomorrow night).
WWE announced a major crackdown on their drug policy after wrestler Eddie Guerrero died last year, likely from previous drug use.
Looks like as long as your a top dog in the company, the drug policy will not really affect you.
In the wake of being faced with five violations, including drug possession, by the Ohio State Highway Patrol, WWE.com reports that Rob Van Dam and Sabu arrived at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia at 1:30 p.m. today and immediately went into a meeting with Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.
Following the meeting, Mr. Laurinaitis told WWE.com that Rob Van Dam and Sabu will be eligible to compete tonight on RAW and tomorrow night at ECW on Sci Fi while an ongoing investigation is being conducted by World Wrestling Entertainment. The two men will be appearing in court Thursday morning at Ironton Municipal Court.
Too bad MLB, the NFL and NBA can’t get away with just holding out on suspensions or other penalties until the finals or World Series or Superbowl is over. Rob Van Damn is scheduled to compete in a three way match for his WWE title at the next WWE PPV.
