Concerns over the use of steroids and other illegal drugs in pro wrestling reached a climax this week as World Wrestling Entertainment suspended 11 performers for drug-policy violations and a congressional subcommittee scheduled hearings to explore the issue.

After announcing the suspension of 10 wrestlers Thursday, WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt Friday confirmed to Newsday one more suspension. Although WWE has not released any names, the suspensions came after WWE learned from Albany prosecutors that several wrestlers had received steroids and other drugs from an Internet dealer under investigation.

McDevitt said no further suspensions are expected.
Ten of the suspensions are for 30 days. One is for 60 days, indicating it was a second violation.

WWE also said it would be changing its policy as of Nov. 1 to go public with the names of any performer who violates the drug policy.
