That's incorrect. They do have an existing drug-testing policy (including testing for steroids). One of their stars, Chris Masters, was suspended last year because he was caught:
"Former wrestler and current trainer ?Nightmare? Ken Wayne was on MSNBC (June 27th) ... Wayne pointed out a loophole in the WWE steroid policy as he said that while Benoit test negative for steroids back in April, if someone has a prescription, their test will come back with a negative result."
