So I was watching the episode of RAW right before Summerslam 1993 and I saw something that perked my ears up when I heard it. This was during the Lex Express tour where Lex Luger was traveling around the country, trying to get support for a WWF Championship match against Yokozuna. Vince McMahon was having an on-camera interview with Luger and asked if Lex had ever taken anabolic steroids. Some questions came to mind as I was watching this...
#1-Was this before, during, or after the infamous Vince McMahon steroid trial? And if it was, why was Vince asking this question? It seemed very odd with the timing #2-Lex said he wasnt taken steroids at the time, but had taken them before it was illegal, which if I remember right, was the exact answer Hulk Hogan gave during the trial. So, was this answer coming from Lex himself, or was this something that was given to him to say by Vince? Looking at Lex at the time, he was a top spot for the Putski award so he was either lying at the time or he was bending the truth to say he wasnt taking them at that exact moment, but had taken them in the past.
The question and answer Lex gave seemed rather odd. If you were trying to clear your name and show the public you had nothing to do with wrestlers taking steroids, Lex Luger would be the last person Id ask

I believe the steroid trial was in 1994 so this would have been before. I haven't heard of this but I'm with you, Lex is the last guy I'd be getting if you're trying to clear your name of steroids.

Lex wasn't popped during a time when they were testing you with Olympic officials.
Kayfabe or not, innocent until proven guilty.

Well, Vince wanted him to be the next Hogan so no surprise Lex was told to answer the same way Hogan did.
