Joe Laurinaitis confirmed that anabolic steroids hadn’t caused Hegstrand’s death

The Road Warriors, a professional wrestling tag team, were first that introduced bodybuilding-type muscularity in this sport. This tag team was composed of Hawk (Mike Hegstrand) and Animal (Joe Laurinaitis). Hegstrand died in 2003. The death of this wrestler came suddenly because of a heart attack. This wrestler died when he was just 46. It is known that popular media usually writes about deaths of professional wrestlers, connecting the cases with use of anabolic steroids. The death of Hegstrand was not an exception. After the death of this professional wrestler many articles appeared in newspapers which demonized anabolic steroids for this case.
Joe Laurinaitis admitted to usage of steroids by this team. But he noted that these preparations hadn’t caused Hegstrand’s death. He added that other factors were responsible for Hegstrand’s death as well as deaths of other wrestlers. This person noted that such drugs, as cocaine and Xanax had to be demonized for such cases. Laurinaitis said that he desired to explain that steroids had not been connected with death of Hegstrand.
Joe Laurinaitis said that cocaine and Xanax had contributed in Hegstrand’s death. He also announced that these drugs caused deaths of such celebritites, as Henning, Rick Rude and Davey Boy Smith. According to Laurinaitis, administration of cocaine frequently leads to administration of morphine. These drugs corrupt health totally and cause heart attacks.
Why must words of Laurinaitis be true? He was in Australia with Hegstrand. He knows about what he speaks. Lately this professional wrestler joined to Andrew William Wright to say about his experiences with “Hawk”.
