"It shall be the responsibility of WWE Talent to provide, if not already provided, to the Medical Director, within seventy two (72) hours of notification of a positive test, suitable proof that the substance in question has been taken pursuant to a valid prescription for a legitimate medical purpose."
The above statement is a portion of WWE's Talent Wellness policy. However, recently suspended Rey Mysterio (Oscar Gutierrez) claims he was notified he would be suspended the following day if he could not provide a prescription for the medication his most recent test detected. Mysterio is now hoping WWE will overturn their hasty suspension and follow their own statutes. He contests he should have had until Saturday (which would've been 3 days) to provide them with the prescription, and it was initially reported he said he could provide one.
By not adhering to their own policy, WWE has done two things: handed out a hasty judgement which violates their own rules, and shown themselves to be hypocrits for punishing those who don't follow their rules. WWE policy clearly states talent has 3 days to provide prescriptions. Mysterio was not given 3 days - a clear violation of procedures. Therefore, WWE is in the wrong, period.
