TMZ.com has disclosed the alleged substance responsible for the 30-day suspension of WWE Smackdown and Total Divas star Eva Marie – Adderall. Adderall is a fairly common substance used to treat ADHD and some sleeping disorders.
Eva claims she has a doctor prescription for the use of the drug, but in a statement made earlier today to Pro Wrestling Sheet, noted that it was a case of “not turning in portions of required paperwork in the time frame WWE Medical deemed timely,” that did her in.
On a slightly related side note, a form of Adderall is also what former WWE star Adam Rose claimed he had a prescription for when suspended for a violation of the company’s Wellness Policy earlier this year. Rose even went so far as to publish a “doctor’s note” on social media, before eventually asking to be released from his contract. To her credit, Eva seems to be taking her first offense of the Policy with humility and some grace, stating, “I am disappointed that this suspension has occurred, yet understand and respect that WWE upholds their Wellness Policy to the letter and won’t compromise on its integrity.”
