MICHAEL JACKSON - JACKSON GIVEN DRUG TO CURB SEX DRIVE

JACKSON GIVEN DRUG TO CURB SEX DRIVE

{MICHAEL JACKSON] was allegedly prescribed a "chemical castration" drug in a bid to suppress his sexual urges, according to one of his medics.
Dr Alimorad Farshchian claims to have given the late King of Pop the drug - Depo Provera - after he grew concerned about Jackson's behaviour towards young boys.
The drug is usually used for birth control and restricts men's flow of testosterone-producing brain hormones.
Jackson was investigated by California police and charged with seven counts of sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy after he appeared in a TV documentary in 2003 and revealed he shared his bed with underage youngsters.
Jackson was acquitted of all charges at his trial in 2005.
Dr Farshchian claims to have stepped in to help the singer when he learned about the controversial sleepovers, by prescribing him the medication, according to Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper.
When the medic's spokesperson was asked if he had given Jackson the drug to curb his sex drive, he said, "Yes, that's exactly it. He was trying to help Michael."
Jackson's official photographer between 2002 and 2006, Ian Barkley, also revealed the doctor wanted to help the star, saying, "It was really Dr Farshchian, when he became aware of the sleepovers, who planted the idea in Michael's head that he might have a problem. As a responsible doctor, Dr Farshchian thought these tendencies were something Michael might address. Dr Farshchian didn't necessarily think there was abuse going on - but he was concerned there were inappropriate feelings towards minors which could be addressed."
