....... booze and other substance abuses contribute to physical abuse of others a whole lot more often than steroid use which is far less common.
Re: the aftermath of the East german female swimmers:
The "wonder girls" won virtually every gold medal they competed for but now, years later, they, and their children, are suffering from the steroids given to them. The women experienced birth defects, enlarged hearts and gynecological problems; one former swimmer said that she had seven miscarriages.

Pro Wrestler kills family, self
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with a weight-machine pulley, authorities said Tuesday.
Investigators found anabolic steroids in the house and want to know whether the muscle man was unhinged by the bodybuilding drugs, which can cause paranoia, depression and explosive outbursts known as "roid rage."
Authorities offered no motive for the killings, No suicide note was found.
Very sad indeed

I'll add one that's first hand, on grounds it was an autobiographical newspaper piece about an English bodybuilder. He noticed the changes under discussion in himself after beginning a steroid regimen. (Again, not under legal MD supervision.) He saw the changes. Period.
Part of his account would be humorous in another context: He had a girlfriend in the same situation. He said their sex life became generally unsatisfactory- intensely physical but not much emotional connection. Even said, 'Once we came home from a meet and fell onto the couch together; you could hear our armor clashing.'

while roids may be a factor it was not a scene of rage. The wife was found strangled, wrapped in a towel with her hands and feet bound with a bible laid beside her, she was killed Friday. The son was found in bed with a bible beside him and killed on Saturday, they also discovered that they had been injecting him with HGH. Benoit hung himself in his gym late Saturday or early Sunday.
They are saying the scene looks deliberate and thought out not like the acts of an enraged individual.

with a choke hold and that he had his knee in his wife's back while he strangled her with a cord.
He killed his wife because she couldn't care for the boy
He knew he was going to jail and there was no one to take the boy so he killed him
after that what is there to do but kill yourself?

Having said that, I look over my posts and see too much certainty of diagnosis which ignores the obvious: A very sad story from any angle.

....he didn't do it because he had Wheaties for breakfast. Of course he might have been upset he wasn't on the box. It's an angle of blame that should be explored.

Investigators are looking into who altered an online encyclopedia's entry for Canadian wrestler Chris Benoit to mention his wife's death hours before authorities discovered the bodies of the couple and their 7-year-old son.
Benoit's Wikipedia entry was altered early Monday to say that the wrestler had missed a match two days earlier because of his wife's death.
A Wikipedia official, Cary Bass, said yesterday that the entry was made by someone using an Internet protocol address registered in Stamford, Conn., where World Wrestling Entertainment is based.
More....
It seems that maybe there could be more detail out there on the alleged text messages he sent. Who really knew what and when did they know it?

Wouldn't it be something if further investigation showed it not suicide at all? This just keeps getting weirder.

ProWrestlingPress.com: Benoit Family Tragedy Timeline By Nate Stein, ProWrestlingPress.com
As people try to comprehend the events surrounding the Benoit Family Tragedy.... attempt to provide a time line of events.
I know there is lot more testimony, unattributed ?knowledge?, and misleading information out there that I am not including. As much as possible, I hope this will help some wrap their heads around all of these events:
Starts with DUI arrest in 1998 and concludes... well, we know how it concludes.

Benoit had abnormally high levels of testosterone in his system (10x). It seems his son was drugged with Xanax before he was killed. He killed his wife a day before he killed the mentally disabled son. All shows forethought, and maybe malice toward the wife.
