Former Lexington doctor sentenced for stealing testosterone.

A former Lexington doctor has been sentenced for stealing testosterone from his office, according to prosecutors.

United States Attorney W. Walter Wilkins said Horace W. Bledsoe, Jr., 58, was sentenced to 36 months probation and ordered to perform 80 hours of community service Thursday in federal court in Columbia.


In October, Bledsoe pled guilty to obtaining testosterone by fraud. Wilkins said between October 2008 and February 2009, Bledsoe stole testosterone while working as a physician working at Lexington Medical Center's Gilbert Family Practice.


Some of the testosterone was for Bledsoe's own use, Wilkins said, and some was given to a medical assistant and other unidentified individuals.


Bledsoe and several others who knew of this conduct were fired in February 2009 when this was discovered.
