WWE News: Timbaland, WWE guest star/music producer, named in Signature Pharmacy investigation Jan 13, 2008 - 8:54:32 PM
Timbaland, who appeared on Raw last year as a guest music producer and used WWE "Divas" in a music video, has been named by the TimesUnion.com website today as a customer of Signature Pharmacy, the company being investigated for illegal distribution of steroids and growth hormone.
The lengthy article provides background on the investigation and references pro wrestling several times. Excerpt:
The names of R&B music star Mary J. Blige, along with rap artists 50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean, and award-winning author and producer Tyler Perry, have emerged in an Albany-based investigation of steroids trafficking that has already rocked the professional sports world, according to confidential sources.
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.
