In a statement released by Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates the popular "Rush Limbaugh Show," Limbaugh said he was unaware of the probe cited by the National Enquirer. "I am unaware of any investigation by any authority involving me," Limbaugh, one of the best-known figures on America's airwaves, said. "No government representative has contacted me directly or indirectly. If my assistance is required, I will, of course, cooperate fully." In this week's cover story, the Enquirer said that Limbaugh -- a resident of the exclusive seaside community of Palm Beach, Fla. -- had been battling a narcotics addiction and was under investigation by the Palm Beach County state attorney's office for alleged involvement in a "drug ring." The New York Daily News said Thursday that it had independently confirmed the probe involving Limbaugh and reported that the radio personality had been turned in by his former housekeeper. Wilma Cline reportedly told authorities that Limbaugh was hooked on OxyContin, Lorcet and hydrocodone. © Copyright 2003, The Salt Lake Tribune.
