STAMFORD, Conn. — World Wrestling Entertainment suspended performer Darren Matthews for 60 days for his second drug violation.

Stamford-based WWE spokeswoman Jennifer McIntosh declined to say today what drugs were involved. Matthews wrestles under the name William Regal.

McIntosh said there have been more than 30 suspensions under the WWE substance-abuse and drug-testing policy begun in 2006, which requires tests for steroids and other drugs.

A wrestler faces a 30-day suspension without pay for a first violation, a 60-day suspension for a second violation and firing for a third violation. Performers are tested at least four times a year.

Last August, WWE suspended 10 wrestlers for ordering drugs, mostly human growth hormones, in violation of policy.
