Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent & Others on Steroids, GH

Talk about a big HUH?

Albany, N.Y.: Timesunion.com - Print Story

Reportedly, athletes are not the only ones linked to the Albany-based investigation into steroids and human growth purchases. Some famous musicians, writers linked to purchasing steroids/gh include Mary J. Blige, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Timbaland, Wyclef John and Tyler Perry.

"Information has surfaced recently showing those stars are among tens of thousands of people who may have used or received prescribed shipments of steroids and injectable human growth hormone in recent years. Law enforcement officials have said they have no evidence in their sprawling multistate probe that customers, including Blige or other entertainers, violated any laws. Instead, they are targeting anti-aging clinics, doctors and pharmacists who prescribed the drugs.

Still, medical experts say that use of steroids and human growth hormone -- an estimated $10 billion-a-year operation worldwide -- reaching into the entertainment industry illustrates how pervasive steroids use in the United States has become. It is not unique to athletics, where performance-enhancing drug use has marred many sports. For many celebrities, the lure of hormonal drugs is their supposed, unproven anti-aging effects.

While Congress is preparing to focus on baseball players alleged to have taken the drugs, medical experts are warning that steroids and human growth hormone are being illegally prescribed nationwide at an alarming rate under the misconception they will aid healing, enhance looks, strength and speed, or slow aging."

Congress should definitely NOT JUST focus on pro baseball in any future hearings.

HGH - the new Botox. Well, looks like this definitely isn't "just" a sports story anymore.

My best friend is a senior drug enforcement agent. He says that ordering this stuff over the internet is a crap-shoot, as the companies you get it from are far from legit and you don't know what you are getting. Also, if you or I get caught with this stuff, it is a felony, unless you are Rodney Harrison!

Possession of HGH without a valid doctor's prescription is not a felony...yet. There is legislation on the table.
