Rey Mysterio Wellness'd...AGAIN.

STAMFORD, Conn. – In accordance with its Talent Wellness Program, WWE has suspended Oscar Gutierrez (Rey Mysterio) for 60 days effective Thursday, April 26 for his second violation of the company's policy.

As noted before, Rey Mysterio was suspended for 60 days last week for violating the WWE Wellness Policy for a second time. Rey reportedly failed the drug test back on February 13th but wasn’t suspended until this month.

Rey reportedly tested positive for amphetamines.

Rey showed up to the RAW Supershow on February 13th in San Diego but before he could settled in and say hello to everyone, he was informed that he had to go right in for drug testing. A week later, Vince McMahon was upset with Rey but at the time, nobody knew why.

Rey couldn’t believe that he tested positive for amphetamines and says he has been living his life clean. WWE officials asked Mysterio about which medications he was taking and he was upfront about everything. A few days ago, officials called him and asked when he would be ready to return. Rey informed WWE that he could come back in June but was then told that he would have to wait another month because he was being suspended for 60 days.

Rey believes he failed the test because of something he took that caused the positive for amphetamines. WWE obviously did not buy his story as they went public with the failure last week.

Rey was scheduled to go to Japan in a few weeks to do promotional work for WWE but has been replaced by Alberto Del Rio.

I didn't even know he had one strike, he's starting to look like Evan Bourne, but I think the reason for the suspension is probably different.

He picked up his first strike when he was feuding with Dolph Ziggler over the IC title. Instead of dropping the title and taking his suspension gracefully, he decided to both refuse to drop to Dolph and to try to get his suspension overturned. He even complained about the whole thing to a newspaper in Mexico. It was only when WWE refused to overturn the suspension (as Rey, who hadn't filed any prescription with them prior to the test as is dictated by the Wellness Policy, was in the wrong there) that he dropped the title to JoMo.

Seriously if Rey and Evan don't wanna work for WWE anymore ask for your release!! I mean this is ridiculous with those two!! I mean Rey has been out for almost a year with another surgery and he fails the wellness policy right before his return and Evan Bourne fails it back-to-back times! There are other talented guys who would be more than happy to take those spots from those two! I am sick of this crap!!

I agree! The wellness policy has been in force for long enough now, the superstars know the rules, to not abide by them is crazy. There are so many hard working superstars who abide by the rules and are not given the pushes that they have.
