Jeffrey "Jeff" Nero Hardy
[5] (born August 31, 1977)
[4] is an
American professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances in
World Wrestling Entertainment.
Before gaining prominence in WWE, Hardy performed for the
Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA), a promotion he ran with his brother
Matt.
[4] After being signed by WWE, the brothers worked as
jobbers,
[6] before gaining notoriety in the
tag team division, partly due to their participation in
Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches.
[7] With the addition of
Lita, the team became known as
Team Xtreme and continued to rise in popularity.
[2] As a tag team wrestler, Hardy is a
six-time World Tag Team Champion and a
one-time WCW Tag Team Champion.
[2][8]Hardy has also experienced success as a singles wrestler and is a three-time World Champion, having held the
WWE Championship once and

four-time Intercontinental Champion, and has held the
Light Heavyweight, and
European Championships once each. He is also a former
Hardcore Champion, having held the championship on
three occasions.
[8] He received his first major
main event push towards the end of 2007, including challenging for the WWE Championship at the
Royal Rumble in 2008, and eventually won the WWE Championship at the
Armageddon pay-per-view in December 2008.
[9][10]Moreover, Hardy is involved in
motocross, music, painting, and other artistic endeavors.

Professional wrestling career
Early career
Hardy cites
Sting,
The Ultimate Warrior, and
Shawn Michaels as his childhood inspirations to wrestle.
[13] Hardy had been on
World Wrestling Federation (WWF) television as a
jobber—a wrestler who consistently loses to make his opponents look stronger—as early as age sixteen. His first WWF match was against
Razor Ramon on May 24, 1994.
[14] The next day he wrestled against
The 1-2-3 Kid, and the match aired on the June 25 episode of
Superstars.
[15] He occasionally wrestled as a jobber as late as 1997 before beginning his first major run in 1998.
[6] Hardy, along with his brother
Matt and friends, started their own federation, the Trampoline Wrestling Federation (TWF) and mimicked the moves they saw on television.
[6] Later on, the TWF went under several different names, eventually being integrated into a county fair in
North Carolina. The brothers and their friends then began to work for other independent companies. They drove all over the East Coast of the United States, working for companies such as ACW and other small promotions.
[5]Jeff Hardy during an autograph signing session
Before arriving in the WWF, Matt formed his own
wrestling promotion, the
Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA) with Thomas Simpson.
[4] The promotion was a more successful version of the original TWF and included talent such as both Hardy brothers,
Shannon Moore,
Gregory Helms,
Joey Matthews, among others.
[16] In OMEGA, each of the brothers portrayed several different characters; Hardy portrayed such characters as Willow the Wisp, Iceman, Mean Jimmy Jack Tomkins, and The Masked Mountain.
[4] While there, Hardy held the New Frontier Championship as a singles competitor and the Tag Team Championship with Matt.
[4][17][18] The promotion folded in April 1998 when they signed contracts with the WWF.
[19]World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment
The Hardy Boyz (1998–2002)
Main article:
Hardy BoyzThe Hardy brothers eventually caught the eyes of the
World Wrestling Federation (WWF). After being signed to a contract in 1998,
[6][20] they were trained by
Dory Funk, Jr. in his Funkin' Dojo with other notable wrestlers such as
Kurt Angle,
Christian,
Test, and
A-Train.
[5] When the team was finally brought up to WWF television, after months of '
jobbing' and live events, they formed the acrobatic tag team called the Hardy Boyz.
[4] While feuding with
The Brood in mid-1999, they added
Michael Hayes as their
manager.
[4] On July 5, they won their first
WWF Tag Team Championship by defeating
the Acolytes, but lost it back to them a month later.
[21] After the dissolution of the Brood, the Hardys joined forces with
Gangrel as the
The New Brood and feuded with
Edge and Christian.
[4][22] This
stable did not last long, however, and on October 17, 1999 at
No Mercy, the Hardy Boyz won the managerial services of
Terri Runnels in the finals of the Terri Invitational Tournament in the WWF's first ever tag team
ladder match against Edge and Christian.
[6][23]In 2000, the Hardy Boyz found a new manager in their real-life friend
Lita.
[2] Together, the three became known as "
Team Xtreme".
[2] They continued their feud with Edge and Christian throughout 2000, defeating them for the WWF Tag Team Championship on two occasions.
[24][25] At
SummerSlam the Hardy Boyz competed in the first ever
Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match (TLC match), for the Tag Team Championship against the
Dudley Boyz and Edge and Christian, but were unsuccessful.
[7]Hardy gained attention for his high risk stunts in the TLC matches in the year 2000,
[7] 2001,
[26] and 2002.
[27] He made a name for himself as one of the most seemingly reckless and unorthodox WWF performers of his time.
[28] In 2001, Hardy received a
push as a singles competitor, and he held the
WWF Intercontinental (defeating
Triple H),
[29] Light Heavyweight (defeating
Jerry Lynn)
[30] and
Hardcore Championships (defeating
Mike Awesome and Van Dam on two separate occasions).
[31] At the end of 2001, the Hardys began a storyline in which they began to fight, which led to Matt demanding a match at
Vengeance, with Lita as the special guest referee.
[32] After Hardy beat Matt at Vengeance, while Matt's foot was on the ropes, Hardy and Lita began feuding against Matt.
[33] In the middle of the feud, however, Hardy faced
The Undertaker in a Hardcore Championship match and lost.
[34] After the match, the Undertaker was scripted to attack both Hardy and Lita, injuring them.
[34] On the next episode of
SmackDown!, the Undertaker also attacked Matt, also injuring him, in storyline.
[35] The Hardys and Lita were not seen again until the
Royal Rumble, because WWE did not have another storyline for their characters.
[36] The Hardys later came back as a team, and there was never any mention of their previous storyline split.
[36]In early April 2002, the Hardy Boyz began a feud with
Brock Lesnar after Lesnar gave Matt an F-5 on the steel entrance ramp, which led to an angered Hardy seeking revenge on Lesnar.
[37] At
Backlash, Hardy faced-off against Lesnar in his first televised match.
[38] Lesnar dominated Hardy and won the match by knockout.
[39] Lesnar and the Hardys continued to feud over the next few weeks, with the Hardys coming out victorious only once by disqualification.
[40] At
Judgment Day, Lesnar gained the upper hand on the Hardy Boyz before tagging his partner,
Paul Heyman, in to claim the win for the team.
[41] In July 2002, Hardy won his third Hardcore Championship by defeating
Bradshaw.
[8][31]Singles competition (2002–2003)
After years in the tag team division, Hardy took on
The Undertaker in a ladder match for the
Undisputed Championship.
[4][42] Hardy came up short, but earned the Undertaker's respect.
[4] Hardy competed for singles titles on several occasions and defeated
William Regal for the
WWE European Championship.
[43] Hardy was defeated a few weeks later by
Rob Van Dam in a match to unify the European Championship and the
Intercontinental Championship, and the European Championship was dropped.
[43] Finally, the Hardy Boyz split apart, as Hardy continued to pursue his singles ambitions on
Raw and his brother, Matt was drafted to the
SmackDown! brand.
[44]In January 2003, he briefly
turned into
villainous after he attacked Van Dam and
Shawn Michaels.
[5][45][46] It ended a month later when he saved
Stacy Keibler from an attack by then-villain,
Christian.
[47] In February, he had a brief program with Michaels, which saw the two team up.
[42][48] Then, in storyline, Hardy began dating
Trish Stratus after saving her from
Steven Richards and
Victoria in March.
[49] Hardy and Stratus had a brief on-screen relationship that saw the duo talking backstage, kissing, and teaming together in matches.
[5][50] Hardy, however, was released from WWE on April 22, 2003.
[5][51] The reasons given for the release were Hardy's erratic behavior, drug use, refusal to go to rehab, deteriorating ring performance, as well as constant tardiness and
no-showing events.
[2][51] Hardy also cites "burn out" and the need for time off as reasons for leaving WWE.
[13]Time off and independent circuit (2003)
Hardy made his first wrestling appearance after being released from WWE at an OMEGA show, on May 24.
[4] Using his old
gimmick, "Willow the Wisp", Hardy challenged
Krazy K for the OMEGA Cruiserweight Championship, but lost the match.
[4] Hardy performed with the
Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion on one occasion.
[52] Hardy appeared at ROH's 2003 show, Death Before Dishonor, under his "Willow the Wisp" gimmick, wearing a mask and trench coat.
[52] Hardy was quickly unmasked and lost his jacket, wearing attire similar to that he wore in WWE.
[52] Hardy was booed and heckled before, during, and after the match by the ROH audience, who chanted "We want Matt!" and "You were fired!" during his match with
Joey Matthews and Krazy K, which Hardy won.
[52] Hardy then took a whole year off of wrestling to concentrate on
motocross and finish his motocross track.
[11]Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2004–2006)
Hardy in TNA in 2005
Hardy debuted in
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) on June 23, 2004, at the Second Anniversary Show, in a match against
TNA X Division Champion A.J. Styles, for the title.
[53] He also debuted his new entrance theme "Modest", a song performed by Hardy himself,
[54] and a new nickname, "The Charismatic Enigma".
[4] The match ended in a no contest when
Kid Kash and
Dallas interfered.
[53] Hardy returned to TNA on July 21 and was awarded a shot at the
NWA World Heavyweight Championship.
[55] Hardy challenged for the title on September 8, losing to NWA World Heavyweight Champion
Jeff Jarrett.
[56] In October 2004, he won a tournament,
[57] earning a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on November 7 at
Victory Road.
[58] Hardy was defeated by Jarrett once again in a ladder match at Victory Road following interference from
Kevin Nash and
Scott Hall.
[58] One month later at
Turning Point, Hardy, Styles and
Randy Savage defeated Jarrett, Hall and Nash (collectively known as the
Kings of Wrestling).
[59] Hardy went on to defeat Hall in a singles match, substituting for
Héctor Garza at
Final Resolution on January 16, 2005.
[60]At
Against All Odds in February 2005, Hardy lost to
Abyss in a "Full Metal Mayhem" match for the number one contendership to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.
[61] Hardy returned the favor by defeating Abyss in a
Falls Count Anywhere match at
Destination X in March.
[62] Hardy then went on to feud with
Raven,
[63][64] with Hardy
booked to defeat Raven in a
steel cage match at
Lockdown in April.
[65] Hardy was suspended from TNA after
no-showing his "Clockwork Orange House of Fun" rematch with Raven at
Hard Justice on May 15, allegedly due to travel difficulties.
[4][66][67] Hardy's suspension was lifted on August 5, and he returned at
Sacrifice approximately a week later, attacking Jeff Jarrett.
[68] He wrestled his first TNA match in four months at
Unbreakable on September 11, losing to
Bobby Roode following interference from Jarrett.
[69] Throughout October 2005, Hardy became embroiled in a feud with Abyss,
Rhino and
Sabu.
[70][71] The four way feud culminated in a
Monster's Ball match at
Bound for Glory on October 23, which Rhino won after delivering a second rope Rhino Driver to Hardy.
[5][72] In the course of the match, Hardy delivered a Swanton Bomb to Abyss from a height of approximately 17 ft 0 in (5.18 m).
[72] Later that night, Hardy competed in a ten-man
battle royal for the number one contendership to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, which Rhino also won.
[72] At
Genesis in November, Hardy lost to
Monty Brown in another number one contender match.
[73]Hardy was scheduled to wrestle on the pre-show of
Turning Point in December 2005, but once again no-showed the event, again citing traveling problems.
[4][5] Hardy was suspended as a result and did not appear on TNA television again.
[4] In March, April, and May 2006, Hardy appeared on several
live events promoted by TNA in conjunction with
Dave Hebner and the United Wrestling Federation.
[4][5]World Wrestling Entertainment (2006-2009)
Return (2006)

Umaga in a tag-team match during 2007
On August 4, 2006, WWE announced that Hardy had re-signed with the company.
[51] In the following weeks,
vignettes aired hyping his return on the August 21 episode of Raw.
[74] On the day of his return, Hardy received a push and defeated then-
WWE Champion Edge by
disqualification when Lita pulled Edge out of the ring.
[75] After failing to capture the Intercontinental Championship from
Johnny Nitro over the next few weeks, including at
Unforgiven,
[76] Hardy finally defeated Nitro to win his second Intercontinental Championship on the October 2 episode of Raw.
[77] On the November 6 episode of Raw, Hardy lost the Intercontinental Championship back to Nitro, after Nitro hit him with the Intercontinental Championship title belt.
[78] One week later, Hardy regained it on the November 13 episode of Raw, with a
crucifix pin.
[79] This marked Hardy's third reign as Intercontinental Champion.
[29]The Hardys reunion (2006–2007)
On the November 21 episode of
ECW on Sci Fi Hardy teamed with his brother, Matt, for the first time in almost five years to defeat the
Full Blooded Italians.
[80] At
Survivor Series, they both were a part of Team
D-Generation X, which gained the victory over Team
Rated-RKO with a clean sweep.
[81] The brothers then received their first opportunity since Hardy's return to win a tag team championship at
Armageddon.
[82] They competed in a four-team ladder match for the
WWE Tag Team Championship, but they came up short in their attempt.
[82] In the course of the match, however, they inadvertently
legitimately injured
Joey Mercury's face.

Hardy Boyz, Jeff (far left) and
Matt (far right).
With Hardy still feuding with Johnny Nitro and the other members of
MNM into 2007, he was challenged once again by Nitro at
New Year's Revolution in a
steel cage match for the Intercontinental Championship.
[84] Hardy once again defeated Nitro.
[84] Hardy then teamed with Matt to defeat MNM at both the
Royal Rumble and
No Way Out pay-per-views.
[85][86] The next night on Raw, February 19, Hardy was defeated for the Intercontinental Championship by
Umaga.
[87] In April 2007, Hardy competed in the
Money in the Bank ladder match at
WrestleMania 23.
[88] During the match, Matt threw Edge onto a ladder and encouraged Hardy, who was close to the winning briefcase, to finish him off.
[88] Hardy then leaped off the twenty foot high ladder, drove Edge through the ladder with a
leg drop, seemingly injuring both Edge and himself.
[88] The two were unable to continue the match and were removed from ringside on stretchers.
[88]The next night on Raw, April 2, the Hardys competed in a 10-team battle royal for the
World Tag Team Championship.
[89] They won the titles after eliminating
Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch.
[89] They then began a feud with Cade and Murdoch, with the Hardys retaining the Championship in their first title defense against them at
Backlash and again at
Judgment Day.
[90][91] The Hardys, however,
dropped the titles to Cade and Murdoch on June 4 on Raw.
[92] The Hardys earned a rematch at
Vengeance: Night of Champions but were defeated.
[93]Main event status (2007–2008)
Jeff Hardy worked closely with
Triple H during late 2007, and again in late 2008.
In the midst of feuding with Umaga, who defeated Hardy at
The Great American Bash to retain the Intercontinental Championship in late July,
[94] Hardy was abruptly taken off WWE programming.
[4] He posted on his own website and in the forums of TheHardyShow.com that it was time off to heal, stemming from a
bad fall taken in a match against
Mr. Kennedy on the July 23 episode of Raw.
[4] He made his return on the August 27 episode of Raw beating Kennedy by disqualification after Umaga interfered.
[95] The following week, on September 3, Hardy successfully captured his fourth Intercontinental Championship by defeating Umaga for the title.
[96]This was the start of a push for Hardy, and at
Survivor Series, Hardy and Triple H were the last two standing to win the traditional
elimination match.
[97] Hardy began an on and off tag team with Triple H,
[98][99] which eventually led to a respectful feud between the two.
[99] The scripted rivalry continued at
Armageddon, when Hardy defeated Triple H to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship.
[100] In the weeks leading up to the
Royal Rumble, Hardy and
Randy Orton engaged in a personal feud, which began when Orton kicked Hardy's brother, Matt, in the head in the storyline.
[101] Hardy, in retaliation, performed a
Swanton Bomb on Orton from the top of the Raw set and seemed to have all the momentum after coming out on top in their encounters.
[10][102][103] Hardy, however, lost the title match at the Royal Rumble,
[10] but was named as one of six men to compete in an Elimination Chamber match at
No Way Out, where he survived to the final two before being eliminated by the eventual winner, Triple H.
[104]During the March 3 episode of Raw, Hardy appeared on
Chris Jericho's "
Highlight Reel" segment as a special guest, but ended up attacking Jericho.
[105] This led to an Intercontinental title match on the following Raw where Hardy
dropped the title to Jericho.
[106] Off-screen, Hardy dropped the title after he was suspended for sixty days, as of March 11, for his second violation of the company's
Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy.
[107] Hardy was also removed from the Money in the Bank ladder match at
WrestleMania XXIV after the suspension was announced.
[107][108] Hardy returned on the May 12 episode of Raw, defeating Umaga.
[109] This reignited the rivalry between the two, and they met in a Falls Count Anywhere match at
One Night Stand, which Hardy won.
[110]World Champion (2008-2009)
Hardy as WWE Champion at the start of 2009
On June 23, 2008, Hardy was drafted from the Raw brand to the SmackDown brand, as a part of the
2008 WWE Draft.
[111] Hardy made his SmackDown debut on the July 4 episode, defeating
John Morrison.
[112] Hardy participated in the
WWE Championship Scramble match at
Unforgiven and also challenged for the Championship at
No Mercy and
Cyber Sunday, but failed to win each time.
[113][114][115] He was originally scheduled to be in the WWE Championship match at
Survivor Series, but, in storyline, was found unconscious in his hotel, allowing the returning Edge to replace him in the match and win the title.
[116][117] At
Armageddon in December 2008, Hardy defeated the defending champion Edge and Triple H in a triple threat match to capture the WWE Championship, his first
world heavyweight championship.
[9][118]In January 2009, Hardy's next storyline led to his involvement in scripted accidents, including a hit-and-run automobile accident and an accident involving his ring entrance
pyrotechnics.
[119][120] At the
2009 Royal Rumble, Hardy lost his WWE Championship to Edge after Hardy's brother, Matt, interfered on Edge's behalf and hit Hardy with a
steel chair.
[121] The buildup to this feud involved Matt implying that he was responsible for all of Hardy's accidents over the past few months, and at
WrestleMania XXV, Hardy was defeated by Matt in an Extreme Rules match.
[122][123] In a rematch at
Backlash, however, Hardy defeated Matt in an
"I Quit" match.
[124]At
Extreme Rules, Hardy defeated Edge to win the
World Heavyweight Championship in a ladder match. Immediately after the match, however,
CM Punk cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase, which gave him a guaranteed world championship match at any time he wanted, and defeated Hardy to win the championship.
[125] Hardy received his rematch at
The Bash, and won the match via disqualification, with Punk still retaining the title.
[126] At
Night of Champions, however, Hardy won the championship for the second time, by defeating Punk.
[127][128] At the
SummerSlam pay-per-view in August, Hardy lost the title back to Punk in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
[129] On the August 28 episode of SmackDown, Punk defeated Hardy in a steel cage rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship, resulting in Hardy being forced to leave WWE, in storyline, per the pre-match stipulation.
[130] This storyline was put in place to allow Hardy to leave WWE to heal his injuries, including a neck injury.
[131][132] Hardy also had two
herniated discs in his lower back and was suffering from
Restless legs syndrome.
[131][132]Other media
Hardy appeared on the February 7, 1999 episode of
That '70s Show entitled "
That Wrestling Show", along with Matt, as an uncredited wrestler.
[133][134] Hardy and Matt also appeared on
Tough Enough in early 2001, talking to and wrestling the contestants.
[135] He appeared on the February 25, 2002 episode of
Fear Factor competing against five other World Wrestling Federation wrestlers.
[136] He was eliminated in the first round.
[136] Hardy also appears on The Hardy Show, an internet web show which features the Hardys, Shannon Moore and many of their friends.
[137] In September 2009, Hardy signed a deal with Fox 21 studios to appear in a
reality television show.
[131]In 2001, Hardy, Matt and Lita appeared in
Rolling Stone magazine's 2001 Sports Hall of Fame issue.
[138] In 2003, Hardy and Matt, with the help of Michael Krugman, wrote and published their autobiography The Hardy Boyz: Exist 2 Inspire.
[139]As part of WWE, Hardy has appeared in several of their DVDs, including The Hardy Boyz: Leap of Faith (2001) and The Ladder Match (2007).
[140][141] He is also featured in the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling release Enigma: The Best of Jeff Hardy (2005) and Pro Wrestling's Ultimate Insiders: Hardy Boys - From the Backyard to the Big Time (2005). On April 29, 2008, WWE released "Twist of Fate: The Matt and Jeff Hardy Story".
[140] The DVD features footage of the brothers in OMEGA and WWE, and also briefly mentions Hardy's time in TNA.
[140]Artistic pursuits
Hardy has an
eclectic set of interests outside of wrestling. He calls his artistic side "The Imag-I-Nation".
[142] At one stage, Hardy constructed a 30-foot (9.1 m) statue of an "aluminummy" named "Neroameee" out of
tin foil outside of his
recording studio (a
spray painted trailer).
[2] On another occasion, he created an artificial
volcano in his front yard, which he then jumped over on his
motocross dirtbike. On another occasion Hardy created a large sculpture of his brother Matt's hand signal "V1", which was seen on "The Hardy Show", an internet web show which features both the Hardys,
Shannon Moore and many of their friends.
[143] Hardy is also an
artist and
poet.
[2]Hardy taught himself how to play guitar and later bought a drum kit.
[144] In 2003, Hardy formed a
band, Peroxwhy?gen, with members of the band Burnside 6, and Moore, who later left.
[54][144] He also converted a
trailer into a recording studio.
[144] The band recorded two songs;
[145] One song was "September Day", a song Jeff wrote in reaction to the
September 11, 2001 attacks.
[146] Rumors arose that Peroxwhy?gen split up in 2004 shortly after recording the second song, "Modest", which Hardy later used as his
entrance music in
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
[54] On the official Peroxwhy?gen MySpace, however, the rumors were denounced.
[12] Currently, Peroxwhy?gen only has two members, Hardy and JR Merrill.
[12]Personal life
Hardy is the son of Gilbert and Ruby Moore Hardy, and the younger brother of Matt.
[2][6][147] Their mother died of
brain cancer in 1986, when Hardy was nine.
[6][145][148] He developed an interest in motocross aged 12 and got his first bike, a
Yamaha YZ-80, at age 13.
[149] He had his first race when he was in
ninth grade.
[150] Hardy played baseball as a child, but had to stop after he crashed during a motocross race, injuring his arm.
[150] He also played
football during high school as a
fullback and
linebacker.
[149] He briefly competed in
amateur wrestling in high school.
[151] He had to stop playing sports in high school, after he was ordered to pick between
professional wrestling and playing sports, and he chose wrestling.
[152] Hardy's favorite subjects in school were U.S. history and art, which he did for extra credit.
[153]Hardy at an autograph signing, showing his roots tattoo on his arm
He has a
tattoo of roots that starts on his head, behind his ear, and finishes at his hand.
[154] He also has a few other signature designed tattoos, one of which, a dragon, he hid from his father.
[154] It was also the first tattoo he got in 1998.
[155] He later got tattoos of the Chinese symbols for "Peace" and "Health", as well as tattoos of fire and a wave.
[155] Hardy regards his tattoos as his "artistic impulses".
[156] Hardy is very good friends with
Shannon Moore, who he has known since around 1987.
[157] He is also good friends with
Marty Garner and
Jason Arhndt.
[158][159] He regards
Vanilla Ice as a big influence on him,
[160] and he was even nicknamed "Ice" by
Scott Hall.
[161]Hardy met his girlfriend Beth Britt in 1999, shortly after the Hardy Boyz had won the
WWF Tag Team Championship for the first time.
[162] Hardy and his brother Matt went to a club in
Southern Pines, North Carolina, where Hardy met her.
[162] On March 15, 2008, it was reported that Hardy's house had burned to the ground in a fire.
[107][108] Hardy and his girlfriend were not home at the time, but his dog, Jack, was killed in the fire.
[107][108] It is believed that the fire was started by faulty electrical wiring.
[163] Hardy is building a new home in the same area.
[107][108]On September 17, 2008, Hardy was involved in an incident at the
Nashville International Airport's Southwest gate.
[164] A Southwest Airline employee reported that Hardy appeared to be intoxicated and therefore, he was not allowed to board the flight.
[164] He was not, however, arrested as he was said to be "calm" and "co-operative", and he made other arrangements to get home.
[164]On September 11, 2009 Hardy was arrested on charges of trafficking in controlled prescription pills and possession of
anabolic steroids, after a search of his house yielded 262
Vicodin prescription pills, 180
soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder
cocaine, and
drug paraphernalia.
