Mysterio violates the wellness policy?



There apparently is some controversy on the internet regarding Rey Mysterio. It is reported that he violated the wellness policy and is serving a 30 day suspension as per the rules of the program. Mysterio is calling foul and saying it's all a misunderstanding and that he didn't violate the policy. It's also being reported that he's lost the Intercontinental Championship. The following is a repost from 1wrestling.com and was written by the head editor and wrestling journalist Bill Apter.

Many fans have emailed me, shocked that the WWE has a huge news item on their main page (with a photo) regarding Rey Mysterio Jr.'s suspension that went in effect today. The suspension is for 30 days and it's for a "violation of the wellness policy."

Due to the fact that Mysterio felt this suspension was an error in communication between his doctors and the wellness committee -- and blasted that fact in a Mexican Newspaper (the story was subsequently picked up by news services all over the world. The feeling in the wrestling communityis that this item being highlighted on the WWE site is some sort of punishment. I can neither confirm or deny this at this time -- however this is the first WWE Superstar that has gotten this kind of treatment to my knowledge. Most suspensions are simply a line or two in their "Latest News" sections. This was the case since last week but today it made it into the main news section.

Any further details will be posted as they become available.
