According to ThePilot.com, Jeff Hardy, the former World Heavyweight champion who left WWE on good terms two weeks ago, was arrested today and caught for having anabolic steroids and restricted prescription medications in his hands. Hardy has a history of substance misuse and was on strike number two with WWE's Wellness Program. He last appeared on television on January 13th at the Royal Rumble event where he lost to Brock Lesnar. Hardy was born on February 4th, 1976 in Jasper, Alabama and raised by his mother after being abandoned by his father when he was just one year old. His mother died when he was only 22 years old but not long after that he started wrestling as a job to help pay his bills. By the age of 24, he was already a world-renowned wrestler with several championships under his belt. In 2001, he joined World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE) where he remained until 2013 when he signed with their rival company, WCW, where he finished up his career. During his time in WWE, he became one of the most popular wrestlers in the company and is credited with bringing back popularity to the heavyweight division after the decline of the category following the creation of the World Heavyweight championship in 1998. In 2004, he was nominated for the WWF Award for Excellence in Wrestling but lost to Chris Benoit. In 2005, he was ranked #9 on VH1's list of "50 Greatest Wrestlers of All Time".
