Entertainers Named in Steroid Report
PATCHOGUE, N.Y., Jan. 13, 2008
Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Timbaland and Others Mentioned in Investigation
A number of entertainers were named in connection with an Albany-based steroid investigation, but are not part of an ongoing criminal probe, according to a published report.
The Times Union of Albany cited unnamed sources in a Sunday report that R&B music star Mary J. Blige, rap musicians 50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean, and award-winning author and producer Tyler Perry may have received or used performance-enhancing drugs.
Albany District Attorney P. David Soares launched an investigation into steroid trafficking last year. Law enforcement officials have said evidence does not indicate that the celebrities broke the law. Officials are focusing on the doctors, pharmacists and clinics that provide the drugs.
Ken Sunshine, a spokesman for Tyler Perry, declined comment. Calls to representatives for the musicians were not immediately returned Sunday.
Soares has declined to comment on or confirm the identities of the stars mentioned in the report. His multistate investigation has focused on Signature Pharmacy of Orlando, Fla. So far, 10 defendants have pleaded guilty, and some professional athletes have been linked to the probe in news reports.
Soares has said Signature was at the center of a web of businesses and doctors that illegally wrote prescriptions for steroids. The investigation gained national attention almost a year ago when authorities raided Signature. The company's owners and the pharmacy's operators are awaiting trial in Albany on related charges.
Records shared with the Times Union, and information from several cooperating witnesses on Long Island, indicate the celebrities received prescribed human growth hormone, or steroids. In some cases, aliases were used for their delivery.
Former Sen. George Mitchell released his report last month on performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.
The report said former Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski provided steroids and human growth hormone, linked to several prominent players.
Radomski pleaded guilty last year to charges that he dealt steroids to players for a decade.
Hearings are set to begin this month in Congress on the Mitchell Report.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., introduced legislation that would make possession of human growth hormone illegal without a current, valid prescription.
