Back in February 2007, there was a report of a drug bust operation performed by the Albany, NY and Florida law enforcement agencies. The subject was a pharmacy named Signature Pharmacy.

According to claims, the pharmacy sold steroids without prescriptions and other prescription drugs to clients who did not undergo a physician’s examination. According to reports, most of their clients were pro-wrestlers.

In August 2007, reports of an unknown WWE wrestler, who allegedly obtained steroids from the said pharmacy, told a source he was “scared to death”. He was reportedly worried that his name would show up during investigations.

Fortunately, his name or the name of the WWE Diva who referred him to Signature pharmacy did not show up. However, several names were included in the list; among those were John Morrison, Ken Kennedy, and Charlie Haas.

Many believed that several other WWE Divas join the list but were lucky enough not to be revealed.

Looking at the WWE Drug policy, the WWE Divas involved would not get any penalty from the organization anyway, mainly because the drug they were using was not in the list of WWE’s banned substance.

Zylene is a diet pill commonly used by many female wrestlers. The drug is said to suppress hunger. It is claimed to be a legit drug, although it has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

From the Bleacher Report:

The WWE Divas have never failed a drug test, not because they are not on anything, but because the drug they use are not one of the WWE’s banned substances.

R & B singer-songwriter Tremaine Aldon Neverson, better known as Trey Songz, denied that anabolic steroids were responsible for his recent metamorphosis. Here’s the report from Singersroom.

In a video posted recently, Songz and producer Troy Taylor dismiss rumors that steroids were responsible for Songz’ new look. Mentioning his training schedule and time in the gym Songz says “I lost like six pounds” since his last visit.

Critics had linked the singer’s more defined look to steroids over the last few weeks following previously accused stars LL Cool J, Timbaland and Busta Rhymes.

Other celebrities who had been implicated in a steroid scandal include 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, and Wyclef Jean. This roster of artists got embroiled in a steroid investigation early this year that was led by Albany County District Attorney David Soares. Soares’ probe had focused on the Orlando-based Signature Pharmacy, which was suspected of illegally distributing steroids and other banned compounds to elite athletes and A-list celebrities.

It has been reported here that Soares’ case against the five individuals behind the Signature Pharmacy, including the husband-wife owners Stan and Naomi Loomis, suffered a huge setback recently. The indictments against the five defendants were dismissed by a New York state judge last week.

So it seems the signature pharmacy steroid bust has come to an end.  As far as facts go, the pharmacy was doing everything legal, they had doctor prescriptions, they had phone consultations with doctors and they did help people who needed hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Let’s hope this signature pharamcy case is a lead for the feds to leave steroids alone, because prosecuting steroids is not black and white anymore, and judges aren’t putting up with BS anymore as they used to.  Let’s hope that anabolic steroids will now go on the backburner of “drug” busts.  With probable budget cuts in the coming years due to huge deficits, let’s hope steroids are left alone to be underground as they have been for over 40 years.

A judge threw out criminal indictments against the central figures in a wide-ranging national steroids investigation on Thursday, citing a series of blunders and missteps by prosecutors for the Albany County district attorney, P. David Soares.

Mr. Soares’s investigation, which began three and a half years ago, has spanned at least four states and involved at least seven federal and state agencies. It has so far resulted in 17 guilty pleas from people who prosecutors alleged were involved in distributing steroids and other performance enhancers to thousands of customers around the country, including sports stars and other celebrities.

But Judge Stephen W. Herrick, of Albany County Court, found that mistakes by the prosecution had prejudiced the case against five people associated with Florida-based Signature Pharmacy, which prosecutors had alleged was the supplier of at least $10 million worth of controlled substances sold to customers in New York. They are Naomi Loomis and Robert Loomis, the husband and wife who own the pharmacy; Mr. Loomis’s brother, Kenneth Michael Loomis, a pharmacist at the company; and two former employees, Kirk Calvert and Tony Palladino.

WWE and steroid use is a common combination of words. Most wrestlers in WWE are using steroids, the same goes for celebrities.  Now Mr Kennedy (a big wrestler) is coming out talking about his steroid use.  He had an injury  and went to his doctor because he couldn’t recover well.  After extensive blood testing, it turns out Mr Kennedy had low testosterone levels, so he ordered anabolic steroids from Signature Pharmacy.  However, after an illegal raid on Signature Pharmacy all private records of everyone were seized and made public, what happened to doctor patient confidentiality?  Mr Kennedy doesn’t look like he takes steroids.

Mr Kennedy goes in to more details about his steroid usage during the Signature Pharmacy scandal last Summer:

“I had been receiving medication because I had been injured,” he says. “I went to the doctor and my levels of testosterone were low, so he prescribed medication. At no point did I ever go out and buy drugs on an Internet pharmacy. My doctor went on the Internet. I had no idea where they were coming from.”

(It is abnormal for a man Kennedy’s age to have low testosterone).

“Look at me. I’m not a big jacked-up guy. In small doses, they can be good for you. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I will never make that mistake again. It was a rough part in my life. It sucked being suspended.”
