Does HGH have side effects? Studies have shown that elevated levels of HGH can lead to swelling of the soft tissues in the body; abnormal growth of the hands, feet and face; high blood pressure; an increased tendency to sweat and excessive hair growth
Steroids can also have serious psychological side effects. Some users become aggressive or combative, developing "roid rage" — extreme, uncontrolled bouts of anger caused by long-term steroid use.

Therefore, other than my comments, there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit tonight. On the contrary, tonight's show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight, the WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world--entertain you."The WWE canceled its regularly scheduled "Monday Night RAW" event on USA Network Monday and aired a tribute to Mr. Benoit in its place. The WWE and USA Network received criticisms of the special, which was produced after Mr. Benoit, his wife and their son were found dead in their Georgia home Monday afternoon.Authorities said Tuesday that Mr. Benoit strangled his wife and suffocated his son, then took his own life. But WWE representatives maintained they were unaware of the circumstances of Mr. Benoit's death when the tribute was assembled.The WWE plans to resume its regular wrestling telecasts, which air on USA Network, Sci Fi Channel and the CW.Earlier, the WWE issued a statement protesting media speculation that Mr. Benoit may have acted out of "roid rage." Prescription anabolic steroids were found in the wrestler's home. The statement noted the drugs were legal and that toxicology tests have not been completed."WWE strongly suggests that it is entirely wrong for speculators to suggest that steroids had anything to do with these senseless acts, especially when the authorities plainly stated there is no evidence that Benoit had steroids in his body, pending the toxicological reports, and that they had no evidence at this time as to the motive for these acts," read the statement.(Editor: Horowitz)

And nobody thinks that thats a little strange.
Benoit was a great wrestler and a good friend to many, but it's hard to mourn a guy who commits suicide after murdering his entire family. i will reserve my opinions of him until everything is confirmed though.
