A troubled dentist who pleaded guilty Friday to illegal distribution of steroids and human growth hormone had issued prescriptions for performance-enhancing drugs to clients that included the founder of Orange County Choppers and at least four Major League Baseball players, business records show.
The case, prosecuted in South Florida, has ties to a steroids-distribution investigation launched four years ago in Albany. It also provides insight into the darker side of a pipeline that authorities say illegally provided performance-enhancing drugs to thousands of people, including professional athletes and celebrities.
Pharmacy law experts have cast the system as a perversion of medical regulations that allowed nearly anyone with a credit card to order steroids. The illegitimate nature of the business may be best illustrated in the case of James M. D'Amico, a dentist from Cape Coral, Fla., who had a revoked dental license when he was prescribing powerful drugs to patients he'd never met, including pro athletes.MORE...

Oh Jenna,not you too!

 Jenna Jameson's boyfriend has been arrested and slapped with a restraining order for allegedly beating up the porn queen.Tito Ortiz was taken in handcuffs from the home the two share and charged with felony domestic violence.Jameson—her arm in a medical brace—told reporters she was "completely shocked"that he would assault her. "Tito is a loving, sweet man. I've always supported him," she said. "For him to lash out at me is shocking." Ortiz's lawyer insists that his client never touched Jameson and blames the retired porn star's Oxycontin addiction for the incident.

"Jenna has been fighting a battle with Oxycontin addiction for the past year. For Tito and her family, this has been an uphill battle. Unfortunately ... she had a relapse," the mixed martial arts fighter's attorney said. "Tito was trying to help her, she has threatened suicide before. Tito has done everything in his power to protect her privacy and the privacy of their children."
Tito also spoke. "It means the world to me, my friends and family for their support," he said. "My parents have been through an addiction and I see it in the mirror again. I am not going to let my family go through that. I speak from my heart, I hold everything dear to my heart that Jenna will be OK."
Jenna fired back at the father of her children, saying that his allegations are "completely false,".
Ortiz has since been released on $25,000 bail.

 "Take it from a divorced guy like me,this is some Bull Shit. I bet this guy was just trying to talk to her about her drug problem and she went nuts,now he's the bad guy.I've been right where he is,not that my ex was doing drugs (that I knew of) but the situation it self.It is so easy to think that the poor women was abused by this big bad man when she probably did more abuse to him.And now she'll take the kids and expect him to pay out the ass for them...W.T.F."   M.P.
