by admin ·
Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Wyclef Jean and even writer/producer Tyler Perry have been targeted by a New York state investigation for allegedly ordering steroids.
According to the New York Daily News, Blige and the others are linked to doctors and pharmacists targeted in a statewide steroid investigation.
“Mary J. Blige has never taken any performance-enhancing illegal steroids,” the singer’s spokeswoman Karynne Tencer told the Daily News.
The startling list of entertainers was named in a probe by Albany County District Attorney David Soares, the Times Union reported.
The Times Union, citing unnamed sources, claims Blige and the other stars sometimes used fake names to receive prescriptions allegedly signed by Dr. Gary Brandwein of Florida.
Brandwein is the doctor who prescribed steroids to Chris Benoit, the pro wrestler who eventually killed his wife, son and himself.
Neither 50 Cent, Timbaland, Jean or Perry could not be reached for comment.
