I'll do some digging tonight.

I read an interview with his doctor where he was providing Benoit with a prescription for synthetic Testosterone to make up for his low levels.

When you take steroids for a long period of time, your testosterone production actually drops.

So when you go off of the steroids you see a lot of really unhealthy symptoms.

I agree with your logic, I was not aware that was confirmed by the police etc,,,,.

For example below is a quote from TSN

"Before he was charged, Astin told the AP he prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past. He would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office June 22, the day authorities believe Benoit killed his wife."

Looking at the tail of painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs in his system, his wife's system, and his kid system, it paints a picture of a doctor who was maybe giving out bogus prescriptions for narcotics.

But thats just a guess based around what we've read here.
