SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Drug Enforcement Administration says it doesn’t believe Dr. David Chao of the San Diego Chargers medical staff was using medications himself even though he apparently had written at least 108 drug prescriptions to himself since 2008.
DEA spokeswoman Amy Roderick says the agency is continuing the investigation that started on June 29 when it searched the offices of Chargers and San Diego Padres doctors and their pharmacies.
Dr. David Chao says in a statement that he denies the implication of self-use or self-prescribing of controlled substances and that he will continue to appropriately treat injuries.
