Umaga firing update

The WWE reported today that Umaga was fired for refusal to attend rehab after the failing of a drug test. The news came just one day after The Sun in the U.K. had reported that WWE had maintained its policy of announcing all drug test failures.

The WWE sent a message to The Sun earlier today explaining that the delay in announcing the drug test failure was due to the unusual nature of Umaga's termination.

That would also explain why Umaga had told wrestlers that he quit, because it was his decision not to go to rehab.

The company policy does not include listing the drug its performers would have failed for. Umaga had a 30-day suspension in late 2007 for being part of the Signature Pharmacy list of athletes who had received steroids and other drugs. In the case of Umaga, real name Edward Fatu, he had received packages of Somatropin, a Growth Hormone, during the year 2006.

They claimed they needed to review the policy in the case of someone being fired under these circumstances.

That seems to make no sense given they would have known of the test failure, which is supposed to be announced, a week ago, and he was already terminated on Monday.
