WWE trainer Monty “Kip” Sopp, better known as Billy Gunn, was fired on Friday by WWE after testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone in a powerlifting meet on July 25.

Gunn had a 37-1 testosterone/epitestosterone ratio, well over the 4-1 limit. WWE found out about the suspension a few week’s ago as they did not know that he was powerlifting or about the suspension.
Gunn started as a trainer for WWE back in 2012 after being away from WWE for several years while working in TNA. He and longtime tag team partner Road Dogg, returned as active wrestlers for WWE in 2013, which led them to become WWE Tag Team Champions in the year.
WWE should be releasing a statement on the situation shortly.
