A U.S. District Court judge has denied motions by Dr. Phil Astin III to suppress evidence seized from raids on his office and personal storage units.

Judge Russell G. Vineyard ruled there was probable cause in the six search warrants issued shortly after professional wrestler Chris Benoit killed his family and himself at their Fayetteville home in June.

Astin, a Carrollton doctor, had prescribed a 10-month supply of anabolic steroids to Benoit every three to four weeks between May 2006 and May 2007, officials said.

Astin has been indicted on seven federal counts of over prescribing to two people, although Benoit was not one of them, authorities have said.

Astin has since filed for bankruptcy and been declared legally indigent. He remains under house arrest, but recently appealed to be released so he is able resume work.
