F4WOnline.com has independently confirmed that testing positive for steroids in a June drug test was the cause of Sin Cara's suspension from WWE per the terms of the Talent Wellness Program. They date the test failure as having taken place in early June.
It gets a lot more interesting from there: According to the writer of the post (there's no byline but it reads like it's by Dave Meltzer as opposed to Bryan Alvarez), "He may not be brought back."
I'm not sure what to think. Was there something about the positive test and follow-up that led Triple H, Vince McMahon, et al to decide that they had to cut their losses and get rid of him? Could his steroids have been sourced from a Mexican pharmacy and indicative of a habit that they felt couldn't be broken? Was the suspension handled the way it was because they knew they would be letting him go so they'd "kill him off" in a way that puts over the danger of ladder matches? Where does this leave Averno, who was first reported as WWE bound on May 29th, probably a week or so before the drug test? Did he ever officially sign? Is this one of the reasons why Averno is still working full-time in CMLL when most were expecting him to leave right after he dropped his mask a month ago?
Lots of questions, more answers probably coming soon...

Eh
I like Sin Cara. But I wouldn’t miss him. And I certainly wouldn’t miss his dumb lighting during matches…

The thought crossed...
My mind off WWE cutting their losses and chalking this up to a learning experience.
I mean, he hasn’t been around nearly long enough to have made an impact plus you can use this to put over Sheamus if need be.

"He may not be brought back."
Does that mean he going to FCW?
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
I doubt he gets fired they’ve hyped him up a lot and he’s HHH’s first project. When Mysterio got busted he was champ the next year.

Sin cara may not be fired over the policy violation but just the same it’s a black eye across the board. (1) with all the hype that went into this int’l signing the gimmick, no pun intended, never got off the ground! (2) it’s a black eye for triple h’s new dept since cara was his pet project and his call. Personally, I never got into the character due to the in ring presentation, such as the weird blue lighting, and his style was visibly awkward in ring. Only primo colon briefly showed any chemistry with cara, maybe he wasn’t quite ready for the big stage? Only good thing was the way he was introduced via the video packages, but the WWE always shines there.
