STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Jeff Hardy, one of World Wrestling Entertainment's most popular wrestlers, was suspended for 60 days for a second violation of drug policy.
WWE spokesman Gary Davis would not say what drugs were involved. He added there have been about 30 suspensions under the WWE substance-abuse and drug-testing policy begun in 2006. The policy requires tests for steroids and other drugs.
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 a year.
Last August, WWE suspended 10 wrestlers for ordering drugs, mostly human growth hormones, in violation of policy.
