Steroid Allegations Shake Up Music Industry
You don’t have to be buff to make a music video - but it certainly does help. Just ask rapper-turned-superstar Mark Wahlberg, who first made an impression with his pecs (not his rhymes). Recently, R&B notables Mary J. Blige, Timbaland, Wyclef Jean and 50 Cent, among others, were named for steroid use by the media. Now, we just have to find out if it’s true. But what if it is? Music is competitive, sure, but it’s not a sport. The only trophies awarded are Grammys - and aren’t these given for sound, not looks?
Currently, officials are saying there is nothing to indicate the celebs broke the law. They are, however, being investigated. So far, only the Blige representative has answered the charges with a resounding denial. The other recording artists accused have not commented. Congressional hearings which will delve into steroid abuse in the baseball industry will begin this month.
