50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean

Looks like 2008 is bringing in plenty of surprises already. The steroids scandal, which accused many of today's top athletes of substance abuse and rocked the sports world, has now leaked into the music industry after an Albany-based investigation of steroids trafficking named some of todays top entertainers.

According to Albany's Times Union Newspaper, R&B songstress Mary J. Blige, along with rap artists 50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean were all amongst tens of thousands of people who may have used or received prescribed shipments of steroids and injectable human growth hormone in recent years.

Those named in the list need not worry however, as law enforcement agencies have decided to target anti-aging clinics, doctors and pharmacists who prescribed the drugs and not the costumers

In 2005, Congress took aim at Steroid use in Major League Baseball, bringing several players to testify under oath.

After testing positive for steroid use, Major League slugger Barry Bond was charged with substance abuse and lying to a grand jury.He has plead not guilty and is awaiting his next court date on February 7th.
