there was only one problem: his name wasn't on the viagra bottle. so when limbaugh returned to the states today, he was detained by customs for more than 3 hours. eventually the officials took limbaughs little blue pills and sent him home:
However, the sheriff's office plans to file a report with the state attorney's office.
"We believe there may be a second degree misdemeanor violation, which is possession of certain drugs without a prescription, because the bottle does not have his name on it," Miller said.
A doctor had prescribed the drug, but it was "labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes," Roy Black, Limbaugh's attorney, said in a statement.
so limbaugh got a viagra script under someone else's name. people are wondering whether that's legal. it sure doesn't sound legal. and if it's not, it could mean big trouble for limbaugh, considering he's already on shaky legal ground:
Last month, Limbaugh reached a deal with prosecutors who had accused the conservative talk-show host of illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping pain pill prescriptions. Under the deal, a single charge commonly referred to as "doctor shopping" would be dismissed after 18 months if he complies with terms that include submitting to random drug tests and continuing treatment for his acknowledged addiction to painkillers.
a misdemeanor drug charge, even for viagra, would violate the terms of the agreement and he would be forced to stand trial.
if it's not illegal, i'll be a bit surprised. what's the point of the fda requiring prescriptions if people can get them under names other than their own? far be it for me to judge limbaugh for wanting some hot island sex, but if you're already in trouble for drug problems, you need to be extremely careful about what you transport across the border.¶
