From WWE.com:
In the wake of being faced with five violations, including drug possession, by the Ohio State Highway Patrol, WWE.com reports that Rob Van Dam and Sabu arrived at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia at 1:30 p.m. today and immediately went into a meeting with Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.
Following the meeting, Mr. Laurinaitis told WWE.com that Rob Van Dam and Sabu will be eligible to compete tonight on RAW and tomorrow night at ECW on Sci Fi while an ongoing investigation is being conducted by World Wrestling Entertainment. The two men will be appearing in court Thursday morning at Ironton Municipal Court.
According to the Ironton Tribune, Rob Van Dam and Sabu were pulled over on U.S. 52, near Patrick Street in Hanging Rock, Oh. at about 10:15 p.m. Sunday night. The two were apparently driving from their performances at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena earlier in the evening.
According to the Ohio State Police, as reported by the Ironton Tribune, Van Dam was initially stopped for speeding. When troopers approached his vehicle, they smelled marijuana and performed a search. Troopers found RVD in possession of 18 grams of marijuana and five Vicodin, prescription pain pills. Sabu was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and also had nine pills that were not immediately identifiable, but were known to be controlled substances, according to the OSHP. Both were cited and posted bond at the scene.

I heard about that. It really sucks. I never would have guessed that of them. I would of, a lot of Wreslers do, plus they are good friends, also I thought even publicly in a Wrestling skit they made fun of or talked about RVD smoking weed? Also Sabu must need some kind of pain killers to help relieve the pain he has to go through after his matches, he goes through so much it's unbelievable at times and he has to hurt.

Didn't know about the skit, but I would have thought that he would be smarter than that. With WWE's new drug policy and all, plus the possibility of getting caught and arrested like that. As for Sabu, shouldn't his pain killers have been prescribed? Maybe his excuse was the pain, even to himself, but lots of times in those situations, it's not really the case. Read some wrestler biographies to confirm that, lol.
