The BBC was using video footage of MJ performing in recent rehearsals as 'proof' that he wasn't on 'drugs'... Probably because he didn't look stoned a la Winehouse. However the painkillers etc that he is believed to have been taking are very much part and parcel of being able to deliver that kind of performance no matter what.
I have seen world class ballet dancers give world class performances that they could only achieve with shots of painkillers and steroids in the wings to kill the pain of broken toes, broken ribs and all the other injuries and traumas that go with the territory. When the show must go on, professional performers will do whatever it takes to avoid disappointing an audience. If the same anti-doping laws were applied to live performers as to athletes show biz would collapse.
