According to Brent Schrotenboer of the San Diego Tribune report that the Drug Enforcement Administration is scrutinizing the rcords of doctors affiliated with both the Chargers and the Padres. to attempt to verify "thei correctness" of their controlled substance inventories and record-keeping.
“Currently, there are no administrative charges, criminal charges or indictments pending for any of the physicians or pharmacies where the warrants were served.”
The DEA today served 10 administrative inspection warrants issued within San Diego County as part of an ongoing investigation.
Physicians and pharmacies are required to keep complete and accurate records of all controlled substances received, prescribed, dispensed, purchased, delivered or otherwise disposed of, according to the law.The Chargers said no official was immediately available to comment on the case. The Padres said they were looking into it.
The DEA didn’t immediately respond to further questions about the situation. An administrative inspection warrant requires a judge’s approval after showing probable cause with a “valid public interest” in the effective enforcement of the Controlled Substance Act.
Last month, Chargers safety Kevin Ellison was arrested and charged with one count of possession of a controlled substance after being stopped for speeding in Redondo Beach . Police said he had 100 Vicodin in his car. He recently was cut by the Chargers and signed with the Seattle Seahawks.
Ellison's agent said last month that Ellison “thought it was a good idea to get enough pain killers to last the season. They were for him to use because of his knee surgery.”
