-- Before the SD/ECW Tapings last night, Stephanie McMahon held a talent meeting backstage. The meeting was held at 4pm with the main subject being changes to the Wellness Policy Program.

The main changes to the program are:

- New talent by WWE will need to be drug tested before being signed
- Marijuana testing is now in effect. If tested positive, the talent will be fined $1,000. They will not be suspended, but will count towards the "three strike rule".
- The drug "anti-estrogen" is now on the banned list of drugs.
- Starting November 1st, anyone who violates the Wellness Policy, their names will be released.

Triple H also addressed the talent sayign that their industry is under attack and all needed to band together.

Well I agree with all of this, they need to start taking control of the situation before they get into big trouble with the government, and if anything to stop the wrestlers' deaths.

On a side note, its nice to see Paul (HHH) take a leading stand on this. After all, they'll be seeing him take over more control like he already has.

Glad to see that HHH is taken control and helping with this problem. I also like the announcement that they will release the names of the people that test positive for drugs.
