Two defendants in steroid case face sentencing

PROVIDENCE -- A current doctor and a former one face sentencing after pleading guilty to writing illegal prescriptions for steroids and human growth hormone.

Victor Mariani and Ana Maria Santi, both from New York, each admitted earlier this year to signing medically unnecessary prescriptions for customers they had never met or examined.

Prosecutors say Santi wrote the prescriptions even though she had lost her license to practice medicine several years earlier.

They say Santi and Mariani were enlisted to write prescriptions by a New Jersey businessman, Daniel McGlone, who has also pleaded guilty in Rhode Island and is awaiting sentencing.

Both will be sentenced today morning in federal court in Providence.
