[SIZE=-1]The superseding indictment was handed down in December but was not unsealed until Thursday, when six of the defendants linked to Applied Pharmacy Services appeared in U.S. District Court in Mobile for a hearing. Applied's owners - Samuel Kelley, Jason R. Kelley and Jodi Silvio - are scheduled to return to court for an arraignment next week.

The indictment does not identify company clients, but Drug Enforcement Administration agents who raided the Mobile compounding pharmacy in 2006 found records that indicated Canseco, Rocker, Holyfield and more than a dozen other athletes had obtained performance-enhancing drugs from Applied. [...]

The 2006 Mobile raid was the first action in what would become known as Operation Which Doctor, the multistate investigation of illegal Internet drug distribution led by Albany County District Attorney David Soares.

Seventeen doctors and wellness center executives pleaded guilty to charges from Operation Which Doctor, and many of them agreed to testify against Signature's operators. But Albany County Judge Stephen W. Herrick threw out the indictment in 2008 and barred prosecutors from bringing the case to a new grand jury, Herrick ripped prosecutors for the way they handled the case, saying the indictment and the instructions to the grand jury considering the case were confusing.
