Stars And Steroids

Investigation Reveals Stars Are Using Steroids

January 18. 2008

Mary J. Blige

Remember two months ago in my November 19, 2007 article Barry Bonds Is Going To Need Bond where I joked that if the FBI/DOJ are going to indict baseball player Barry Bonds for steroids use, it is only fair that they charge Madonna as well. That joke is quite ironic now in light of an investigative report released a week ago that was launched by the Albany District Attorney, which found celebrities such as Mary J Blige, Timbaland and 50 Cent have been receiving shipments of steroids. I only want to know one thing - who did Madonna bribe to keep her name out of this report or is she receiving her steroids from elsewhere (LOL).

Mannish Madonna

The report states R&B singer Mary J. Blige received shipments of steroids, "The human growth hormone Jentropin and Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid":

The report also stated 50 Cent received steroids shipments as well. He was in prison, so he can easily say that's where his muscles came from. If you go to prison and don't come out with muscles people will wonder just what you were doing in there (just kidding):

Timbaland was also named as a steroids recipient in the report:

Do they 'roid up together:

STORY SOURCE

"Entertainers in steroid report"

"ALBANY, N.Y. - A number of entertainers were named in connection with an Albany-based steroid investigation, but they are not part of an ongoing criminal probe, according to a published report. The Times Union of Albany cited unidentified law enforcement officials in reporting Sunday 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.

Law enforcement officials have said evidence does not indicate that the celebrities broke the law, but that investigators are focusing on doctors, pharmacists and clinics that provide the drugs. A spokeswoman for Blige denied the singer had taken illegal steroids. Ken Sunshine, a spokesman for Perry, declined to comment. There was no response to calls Sunday and Monday seeking comment from representatives of other entertainers.

Soares' multistate investigation has focused on Signature Pharmacy of Orlando, Fla. So far, 10 defendants have pleaded guilty and news reports have linked some professional athletes to Soares' probe. Soares has said Signature was at the center of a web of businesses and doctors that illegally wrote prescriptions for steroids. Authorities raided the company almost a year ago and its owners and operators are awaiting trial in Albany on related charges.

Records shared with the Times Union and information from several cooperating witnesses on Long Island allege the celebrities received prescribed human growth hormone or steroids, the newspaper said. The newspaper said that Blige received the human growth hormone Jentropin and Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, in orders sent to her at the Beverly Hills Hotel..."
