Are 50 Cent, Timbaland and Others on Steroids?

1/14/08, 12:33 pm EST

In the shadow of Major League Baseball’s Mitchell Report comes the Soares Report, named after Albany, NY, District Attorney David Soares, which discloses what musicians have also been juicing, for reasons probably more cosmetic than performance-enhancing. According to the report, 50 Cent is alleged to have ordered steroids or human growth hormone (HGH) from a pharmacist at the center of the investigation–to think that his last album would have only received a one star review from Rolling Stone had he not been on the gas. Mary J. Blige, who was also named in the report, is taking the Roger Clemens approach by vehemently denying the charges, saying in a statement she “has never taken any performance-enhancing illegal steroids.” No word on whether Blige will be stripped of her Grammys like track & field star Marion Jones was stripped of her Olympic medals. The pharmacist who allegedly provided these artists with anabolic steroids is Dr. Gary Brandwein of the Signature Compounding Pharmacy of Orlando, FL. Brandwein is also the doctor who prescribed steroids to WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, who killed his wife and son before killing himself last year. Brandwein is currently awaiting trial for felony drug charges in Albany.

Also accused of doing the Bonds is superstar producer Timbaland, whose production work definitely seems performance-enhanced lately, as well as Wyclef Jean, whose fingers did seem a tad more limber scaling guitar frets when he came to the Rolling Stone office a month ago to perform. According to Soares’ investigation, which was first reported by the Albany Times-Union, Blige and 50 used some creativity when being delivered their illegal drugs, as 50 using the inconspicuous alias of “Michael Jordan” to receive a few shipments, while Blige professed her love of HBO’s The Wire by supposedly getting packages addressed to “Marlo Stanfield,” the show’s resident drug dealer. Let’s hope this trend doesn’t continue, though if the Jonas Brothers suddenly look ready to fight Chuck Liddell, it’ll be trouble for everybody.

I agree, Timbaland and Dr. Dre got big overnight. I don’t know if its enhancing their performance, but its certainly enhancing their physique.

Who cares Congress has better things to do than baseball and 50 cent and steroids. Want to do steroids go ahead. Congress cares more about the lawn than it’s people or for that matter baseball…
pathetic…

If these no nothings want to destroy their insides then so be it. Take a look at some of these broken down wrestlers like Hogan,he can barely move. If congress or who ever turned a blind eye then people would be saying the government didn’t do anything, catch 22.

Mr. 50, please put your shirt on, stop grabbing your package, and GET OVER YOURSELF!!!

mcache | 1/14/2008, 8:42 pm EST

Jesus, I didn’t know Mike Tyson knew how to rap. The reason his hands are on his crotch is because his nads are now the size of tic-tacs.

kaan | 1/14/2008, 11:17 pm EST

david schaefer | 1/15/2008, 11:02 am EST

Heavy Hitter | 1/28/2008, 4:02 pm EST

I really bet using Roids makes 50 lay dowm some dope tracks, that shi* comes natural… He is a performer and just wants to get jacked so the bi*tches are on his D. Don’t be jealous n’shi*.

Heavy Hitter | 1/28/2008, 4:03 pm EST

It’s the Vitamin Water, Formula 50. Try some.

i mean…50 clearly uses steriods. hes like 270 pounds with barely any fat… and unless he has a flawless diet, and a perfect workout program…that doesnt happen. ever. im a lineman and im around 280 and although im not fat…im sure as hell not cut like that guy. in my mind..theres no question

Dominick the will | 2/14/2008, 12:55 pm EST

I saw Fifty up close and personal at court on Long Island.The first thing that surprised me was his size. The dud was about 5-10 maybe 6 foot. He was not big at all. I mean he was anything but imposing like he is on T.V. Television makes him look really big which he was not!

Dominick the Will | 2/14/2008, 12:59 pm EST

I saw Fifty on Long Island at court. If he was taking steriods he was doing something wrong. He was anything but big.The dude was 5-10 maybe 6 feet,175,180 pounds. He looks much bigger on T.V. then in person. Surprising!

Djodjo | 2/22/2008, 5:54 am EST

50 is small NOW because he ain’t takin any steroids!! That’ a fact…

jigga | 3/10/2008, 6:13 pm EST

And_LV | 10/6/2008, 12:47 pm EST

I know how looks natural and how chemicans, but I don’t think that this is big…
Naturals speak to much how steroids are bad,people who use chemistry always say , that this is not bad… this is not so bad50/50…

50 is definitely on dope I looked at a sports illustrated and I saw that 50 was f****d it said he was on freaking steroids but a kid at
my school won’t hear it he worships him like a god even though he saw the magazine for him self and he still won’t hear it.

ezra | 1/14/2009, 8:19 pm EST

50 is on f***ing sterods.

EZ | 2/21/2009, 4:58 pm EST

You guys dont know anything about steriods number 1 there is no roid rage that is a myth, no dick shrinking, nothing like that steriods takes alot of work either way if 50 on steriods its a self image he a muscian he has much competition he gotta do it big

charles | 2/24/2009, 10:30 am EST

i’m a personal trainer. and i know when u have that much muscle you will have fat if u don’t do cardio and watch your diet. when u lift weights it puts your body in a teardown stage which is called catabolic. your rest time helps body recover which is called anabolic. what happens with steroids is you are always in a anabolic stage which is cheating. this is why the playing field is not level in sports

50 | 7/2/2009, 10:18 pm EST

sike.

the truth | 7/2/2009, 10:22 pm EST

50 is so big because they had to give him steroids when he got shot 9 times or he wouldve died and another reason is that he been to jail a couple of times and when people go to jail they tend to come out muscular.

DD | 7/17/2009, 4:07 am EST

If you take enough roids you really do not have to work out very hard at all to put on size. Woman who do roids can easily put on 30lbs of muscle in 2 months…FACT…

Trixta | 8/2/2009, 2:46 am EST

steroids do nothing more than help you recover faster, you wont get big just taking steroids and sitting on your ass. read a freakin book.

hello | 10/16/2009, 1:59 pm EST

You’re all a bunch of morons spouting half truth and bullshit. the simple fact none of you know what you’re talking about.

your point... | 11/5/2009, 7:26 pm EST

steroids is strait testosterone, having above average levels of test makes muscle build faster, it does this by putting your body in an anabolic state. when you cycle off you usually shrink and lose the bloated look, espicially in the face. your balls produce testosterone and when you inject test in you they basically slowly quit making test. hince why your balls shrink, not ur dick. the bad thing with steroids is people take them to get big, they keep cycling them because they like the way they look, and eventually after years of on and off cycles your nuts quit making test, thus you become dependent on steroids. that is why juice is dangerous. and yes “roid rage” is real because of elevated test levels, usually you experience more irratability.
