This will be the next route of attack on hip hop and R&B by the feds. I see quite a few indictments surfacing by the spring. They'll go after the doctors first but that will depend on the testimony of the users. If the users don't talk.....indictments come soon after.
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.
Albany District Attorney P. David Soares launched the investigation into steroid trafficking last year.
