Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares’ investigation on the use of steroids and human growth hormones has unveiled several A-listers names in the entertainment business, such as Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Wyclef Jean and Timbaland, as The Times Union reported on Sunday. No report has been made public by the investigators, but the newspaper cited sources who took part in Soares’ inquiry and said the information to be accurate.

Following the accusations, Karynne Tencer, spokeswoman for Mary J. Blige, said the singer has never taken any performance-enhancing illegal steroids or antiaging steroids. It was the sole declaration from the large list of names, as other representatives were not available for comments on the allegations. The drugs were allegedly shipped directly to the stars’ houses.

The main purpose of the Albany investigation is not to raise awareness on the names of those who have or still use the drugs, but rather to stop the dealers. A thorough inquiry revealed that several doctors illegally prescribed the drugs to their patience without first consulting them, and multiple clinics and pharmacies have also been accused of supplying them.

The starts have not been accused of breaking any laws, and they were not alone on the list. According to the Albany newspaper, New York police officers have also used the drugs for bodybuilding. Consequently, the idea of this investigation is: the distribution of the enhancement drugs needs to be stopped in order to prevent the already multibillion dollar business from growing even more.

The scandals of well known names taking HGH or any other drugs has gained proportion in the past year, especially in the sports field, with the Mitchell report on the MLB or Marion Jones who had to return her medals won at the Olympics. Some of the drugs are allowed to be legally prescribed by the doctors in certain situations, but using them in any other purpose will create permanent physical and psychological damage.
