Ultimate Warrior drops dead at 54. Was he still using steroids?
“I don’t think it would be a surprise to know he took steroids for a long time, and I don’t know if he ever stopped.”
Warrior was let go by the World Wrestling Federation during his second run with the company in 1992 for controversial reasons. ESPN writer Shaun Assael states in his book, Sex, Lies and Headlocks, that Canadian chemist Mauro Di Pasquale had proof that Warrior was using steroids in September of ’92. He then successfully persuaded McMahon to release Warrior due to the heat on him by the United States federal government. During this time, McMahon was being investigated for allegedly supplying illegal steroids to his talent. http://www.wrestlingrumors.net/bret-hart-talks-ultimate-warriors-steroid-use-questions-ever-stopped-taking/20374/
