- Chris Benoit's mother, Margaret, gave comments to the Toronto Star newspaper, saying that her son would probably be still alive if DEA agents took action when they found out that Benoit was buying large quantities of steroids. Earlier this week, the DEA said that Benoit's name popped up during a probe called 'RX Weight Loss' some time ago and Benoit was identified as an excessive purchaser of injectable steroids from a company that was under the microscope. Asked if quicker action by authorities could have helped her son, she said, "We would certainly hope so. We just don't know. We're dealing with so many things. It's incredible." The DEA said that it would have been impossible to predict what Benoit was going to do. "You don't run out and arrest a doctor for making one prescription that is questionable," a DEA spokesman said. "There's just not enough evidence to arrest or bring charges. We want to bring charges that are legitimate. Cases take time." Margaret Benoit said that there's nothing much they can do now except to mourn Chris, Nancy and Daniel. "It's so late now, too late. You can't turn the clock back."
