We analyze nonabelian massive Higgs-free theories in the causal Epstei
n-Glaser approach. Recently, there has been renewed interest in these
models. In particular we consider the well-known Curci-Ferrari model a
nd the nonabelian Stuckelberg models. We explicitly show the reason wh
y the considered models fail to be unitary. In our approach only the a
symptotic (linear) BRS-symmetry has to be considered.
