Jun 2, 2012 - by Steve Gerweck

Super Luchas is reporting that former WWE Intercontinental champion Cody Rhodes tested positive for a banned substance on a drug test but was cleared after showing a valid prescription from a licensed and practicing physician.

Rhodes thought he would be facing suspension, which explains why he wrote “Time off” on his Twitter account. He then appeared at the Smackdown taping in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and all Smackdown shows since then.
