Historical Footnote on Wrestler Brian Blair

Brian Blair, a retired wrestler who most recently was an elected commissioner of Hillsborough County, Florida, has been arrested and jailed in Tampa on charges that he punched his two sons and put the older son, who is 17, in a chokehold. See http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/article1012183.ece#.

At the 1991 federal trial of Dr. George Zahorian -- the then World Wrestling Federation ringside physician in Pennsylvania -- Blair testified that he received shipments of steroids from Zahorian.
