HENRY COUNTY, Ga. (FOX 5) -- Henry County Police are investigating what a Locust Grove man says he found inside his home.
He turned over to police several bottles that were labeled as containing human growth hormones.
The man also gave police numerous syringes and other materials that investigators say could belong to a W.W.E. wrestler.
"I had never looked in here and so she was gonna put her stuff in here and just looked back in here and the boxes were just sitting there," said the homeowner.
The Locust Grove man showed FOX 5 News where his daughter stumbled upon the disturbing find in the attic of their home.
"It was actually pushed over closer to this wall," said the homeowner as he pointed to a nearby wall.
The homeowner was referring to two shoe boxes that contained several small bottles labeled as testosterone, neomasteron -- which is also an anabolic steroid -- some bottles with no markings at all and there were numerous unopened syringes.
Asked what his thoughts were upon discovering the drugs, the homeowner said "well being the fact that I have children I was horrified because my kids actually play up in that room and so the first thing I thought is what if there were to open that and they would have gotten a hold of the stuff and the syringes."
The shoeboxes also contained personal documents with the name of a man who used to live in the house.
Among those documents was a contract from the W.W.E. and a memorandum to W.W.E. superstars in 2004 about the new dress code.
Henry County Police have asked FOX 5 News not to name that wrestler at this time because they want to talk with him first.
Futhermore, no charges have been filed.
Police are still investigating what the substance was in those bottles.
While it is not illegal for W.W.E. wrestlers to take steroids the W.W.E. Director of Publicity Kevin Hennesy told FOX 5 News "wrestlers can only be prescribed steroids by a physician which is rare and only for a specific medical condition and it is usually taken orally."
Hennesy added, "If a wrestler is injecting steroids for performance enhancement purposes that would be a matter for local law enforcement."
Investigators say they believe the wrestler is staying with relatives in another state.
Police want to question him and test the bottles of substances that were found in the Locust Grove home.
