Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Others Named in Steroid Probe

Uh oh - there's definitely a little drama for five well-known performers as the Albany DA's office continues its probe into steroid trafficking. The Times Union reported yesterday that Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Wyclef Jean and Tyler Perry were "among the thousands of customers of the pharmacies" DA David Soares' office has investigated.

Oh. In other words, the celebrities are just the bold-faced names, and the sources say there isn't evidence that they broke any laws. The probe is focused mainly on the pharmacies, doctors, and other clinics doling out the drugs. Still, the Times-Union, explained how the five performers, plus Sylvester Stallone (not mentioned in the probe, but a known human growth hormone user), recently bought steroids. Here's the 411 on Blige:

Between August 2005 and January 2007 Blige allegedly received multiple shipments from an Orlando pharmacy of Jentropin, a human growth hormone, and Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid, in orders sent to her at the Beverly Hills Hotel, MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and Clay Gym in New York City.

At least one of the orders was mailed under the name "Marlo Stanfield," which is the character name of a drug kingpin on the Baltimore-based HBO crime drama "The Wire."

Today, a former doctor from Queens, Anna Maria Santi whose medical license hasn't been valid for over 8 years, was sentenced to 3-6 years in jail for "rubber-stamping hundreds of drug prescriptions for patients she never examined" - about $150,000 in Internet prescriptions.
