Former competitive bodybuilder and nutritionist to WWE COO Triple H, Dave Palumbo, recently joined the Matt Riviera podcast to talk about a number of topics. During his appearance, Palumbo made a few comments on WWE’s drug policy and superstars being allowed to take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) human growth hormone (HGH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HGC):

“They’re allowed to take hormone replacement. They can go to an HRT place and get testosterone replacement, 100 mg a week, whatever they prescribe nowadays. Those are acceptable. A lot of the wrestlers do it, and it’s not for me to say whose using what, but they’re very minimal doses.”
Shortly after these comments the WWE responded to Palumbo’s claims via Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, who released the following excerpt from their statement:
“Today, WWE responded to the comments that Palumbo made by saying that he was misinformed on the subject and the drug policy does not allow for use of those substances unless an endocrinologist and the WWE’s medical staff approved of it for legitimate medical need”
