Mary J. Blige Speaks Out!!!

Mary J. Blige has slammed reports linking her to a steroid investigation in the U.S., insisting she has never taken the performance-enhancing drug.

The Grammy award-winning star, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Wyclef Jean and actor Tyler Perry have all been accused of ordering steroids or human growth hormone from doctors and pharmacists.

Albany County District Attorney David Soares named the celebrities who featured in his investigation on Sunday (13Jan08).

But Blige vehemently denies any involvement. The singer's spokeswoman Karynne Tencer tells the New York Daily News, "Mary J. Blige has never taken any performance-enhancing illegal steroids."

Authorities have uncovered no evidence the celebrities violated any drug laws.
