25. wwe has a HUGE economic interest in the display of bulked up masculinity
as do the "stars" themselves. of course they're going to have a policy and occassional enforcement of it. but they're certainly not going to squelch it entirely, far from it.

how eager was professional baseball to squelch steroid use? they tolerated it for a long time and only when the scandal and outrage became too much did they, maybe, appear to start to sort of take it seriously.

wwe on the other hand thrives on scandal and outrage and controversy, so i don't see any kind of reform coming soon.

so, please, stop being a naif.
