Quote: The analysis by doctors affiliated with the Sports Legacy Institute suggests repeated concussions could have contributed to the killings at Benoit's suburban Atlanta home.
Steroid use also has lingered as a theory, since anabolic steroids were found in the home and tests conducted by authorities showed Benoit had roughly 10 times the normal level of testosterone in his system when he died.
The institute, which researches the long-term effects of concussions, coordinated the testing using samples of Benoit's brain tissue provided by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

So instead of "the devil made me do it"... it's a case of "my brain made me do it"?
EVERY wrestler that goes into the ring knows that they run the risk of damaging their body - especially their brain. And still they do all this "willingly" and sometimes even "eagerly" - for money and entertainment?
The benefit outweighs the risks? Common sense would say no...
