The
Ultimate Warrior says that he wasn't fired from WWF in 1992 along with
British Bulldog after a failed drug test as WWE often say. Warrior told
MLW.com that he and Bulldog were made scapegoats for the federal steroid
investigation.
"Vince was feeling the heat from the federal
investigation in what ultimately became an indictment over the steroid
thing," he said. "It's another one of those instances
where he did what he had to do to protect his foremost interest, which
was himself and his business. He made the claim that me and Davey Boy,
Davey Boy got let go at the same time, that we had violated the drug
policy at the time, which wasn't true."
He noted that the
doctor in charge of WWE's drug testing testified that he wasn't fired
for failing a drug test, saying, "We deposed Dr. Di Pasquale, who was in
charge [of the drug policy]. We went to Canada and deposed him as part
of the litigation and he said it wasn't true. He was the guy that had
the absolute authority in the program to decide who should be let go or
if there was a different way of evaluating something. If they saw
something on a wellness program test or something, it was up to him. He
said he was totally shocked and surprised when Vince let me go and fired
me. He never got a reason."
