WWE's William Regal Suspended for 2nd Violation

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP)  -- World Wrestling Entertainment says it has suspended performer Darren Matthews for 60 days for his second violation of the company's drug policy.

Stamford-based WWE spokeswoman Jennifer McIntosh declined to say what drugs were involved. Matthews wrestles under the name William Regal.

There have been more than 30 suspensions under the WWE substance abuse and drug testing policy begun in 2006, which requires tests for steroids and other drugs, McIntosh said.

A wrestler faces a 30-day suspension without pay for a first violation, a 60-day suspension for a second violation and firing for a third violation. Performers are tested at least four times per year.

Last August, WWE suspended 10 wrestlers for violations of its drug testing policy involve drug purchases, mostly human growth hormones.
