Primo Colon Claims He Never Took A Drug Test Prior To Being Suspended For Recent Wellness Violation
It was reported last week that WWE Superstar Primo Colon failed a WWE Wellness Policy test, despite having not wrestled on WWE TV in over a year.
WWE violated Primo after they said he failed his Wellness Policy exam, and was then suspended 30-days without pay. Primo recently spoke to Primera Hora in Puerto Rico, and Primo claims that he actually did not fail a drug test, and states that he never even took one.
Primo was not even on the road with WWE, and wasn’t even scheduled for any WWE Live events either. In fact, when WWE called him to take the test he was in Puerto Rico and wasn’t able to make it to the testing facility.
“I was not on the road (on tour with the company), I was not scheduled for any event in the near future. I am in Puerto Rico when they called me suddenly, not to use me, but to travel to do a doping test. I was ready to do it, but I told them that I was in Puerto Rico and that I was willing to go to a place (laboratory) that they chose to test me without any problem, without any discomfort. I was not going to pay for a trip to just get tested for doping,”
“I didn’t hear anything from the company and I thought they were going to call me when they found a place to do the test. Almost two months pass and I get a letter that I am suspended, according to them, because I refused to take the test. And that is not correct. They took it as I was out of the country, but I was available, ”
“I don’t want them to say that I failed to test positive because that is totally false and incorrect. They usually do their doping test at events, someone appears there to collect the urine of fighters, employees, referees … to do their evaluation once a month. I did not say anything positive. I was in Puerto Rico. I have to clarify it because my reputation is worth more than any check.”
This isn’t the first case in which a WWE Superstar has been suspended for failing to be able to produce a sample when WWE requires a test.
Both Primo and Epico Colon are still under contract with WWE through October 2020. We will have to wait and see if WWE decides to add any extra time to the back end of his contract after being suspended.
