The recently suspended Rey Mysterio Jr. sat down for an interview with Mexico's newspaper, "The Record". Rey claims he was innocent and that his situation was handled poorly by the WWE.

Rey states that he was taking a prescription for knee and arm injuries which caused an elevated level on his test. He has a legal prescription for the medication but was unable to provide a "doctor's clearance' by the imposed WWE deadline.

Rey was overseas promoting SummerSlam directly after his return from 3 weeks of vacation. Upon his return to the States, WWE's Dr. Black says that if Rey's doctor doesn't clarify his prescription that he would be suspended.

But the WWE suspended Rey anyways despite his efforts to get his doctor to clarify things within the deadline. Rey claims that the prescription medicine is taken orally. and that he can easily clarify this.

He doesn't want the public to think bad of him or that he took anything illegal. Rey also reports that he passed 15 drug tests in the last year and he only failed this one which he happens to have a legal and medical reason for the failed test.
