PWInsider received a press release on Saturday from Sal Corrente, longtime friend and associate of Stan Lane from the legendary NWA Tag Team The Midnight Express, noting that Lane recently took a DNA test to prove he is not the father of Congressman Lauren Boebert.
Boebart is currently serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado’s 3rd congressional district. From 2013 to 2022, she owned Shooters Grill, a restaurant in Rifle, CO. The Grill closed in July 2022, when the building’s new owner opted not to renew the lease.
The mother of Congresswoman Boebert filed multiple paternity suits between 1987 and 1990, alleging that Lane is Boebert’s father. A paternity test that Lane took back in 1990 ruled him out as Boebert’s father, and the suit was dismissed. However, in 2012 Boebert’s mother sent the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation a letter asking for further investigation, but there is no record that the bureau took any action. Social media and blog posts between 2008 and 2013 continued to allege that Lane was indeed Boebert’s father.
The press release is below, with images and all the details regarding the matter (courtesy of PWInsider).
My name is Stan Lane. I have had two professional careers, one in the world of Professional Wrestling, and the other as an announcer for many years in Powerboat Racing.
Early in my wrestling career while I was living in Florida and working for Championship Wrestling from Florida, I received notice that a woman I had a short affair with was accusing me of fathering her child.
We went through the legal system and completed a court ordered paternity test. I was declared not to be the father and the case was dismissed.
In spite of the court verdict, the mother of the child – who turned out to be Congresswoman Lauren Boebert – her mother has continued to stick to her original claim.
I agreed to take another DNA Paternity test with Lauren Boebert in May 2023. I allowed Lauren to handle the chain of custody for the samples to alleviate any doubt with the results.
The results came back on May 11, 2023. They were conclusive that I had a 0.0% chance of being the biological father. Once we both reviewed the results Lauren and I agreed that this matter is settled, and I accepted Lauren’s apology on behalf of herself and her mother.
This situation and the numerous false claims made against me over the years has been stressful for me and my family. I feel my otherwise good reputation has been tarnished considerably. I and other close members of my inner circle have been dragged into this as well. I have also been followed by the news media so that they could get the scoop on this topic.
I ask that I be taken out of this equation since a conclusive result has been given to both sides.
While I was fortunate to have a career in the spotlight for 30 + years it is my desire to step back and enjoy my retirement with my wife.
My interactions with Mrs. Boebert have been pleasant and enjoyable. I wish Lauren all the best in her future endeavors. If she continues the search for her biological father I hope she finds the answers she has been looking for.
