Roid Rage
Pardon me but it's the first time I heard about it.
It's a condition where abuse of anabolic steroids causes severe bouts of aggression, violence and depression. The term is a play on that other dangerous condition called "road rage."
This is particularly finding its way in the news overseas because of the Chris Benoit tragedy. Said this report:
Of course, the WWE will wash its hands off the whole fiasco. While encouraging its performers to have body-builder physiques, they would officially deny the use of artificial body-enhancing drugs, as if it was illegal in its field. So instead of attempting to find a glimmer of hope in one of its performers that had it revenue, it was quick to destroy his reputation and immediately brand him a murderer, just to save the industry. Too callous, if you ask me.
But even if the WWE official denies any link between the tragedy and steroids, it should already come out with an anti-doping policy to ensure its future, I think.
Well, that's my opinion, for all its worth.
Oh, read WWE's timeline of events here. It's a good read.

Investigators found anabolic steroids in the house.
Steroids can cause paranoia, depression and explosive outbursts known as "roid rage."
A wrestler who toured with Benoit for years said he's seen the harm steroids can cause. "One little thing goes wrong and you're going to see an outburst, a rage," said Jacques Rougeau.
WWE issued a news release Tuesday decrying the speculation about steroid use being behind the tragedy.
WWE noted that investigators believed the drugs found were legally prescribed and that Benoit's actions indicate he killed in deliberation, not rage. Toxicology tests haven't been completed yet.
"WWE strongly suggests that it is entirely wrong for speculators to suggest that steroids had anything to do with these senseless acts."
Other professional wrestlers' deaths have been linked to long-term steroid use. However, none of those individuals were suspected of killing anyone.
