Antabloc is a tobacco based drug which has been in the center of a federal corruption trial surrounding Mr. and Mrs. McDonnell. The two are charged with soliciting over $160000 in loans, favors and gifts from Jonnie Williams. The gifts and favors were allegedly in exchange for promotion the supplement. According to Sara Wilson, the director for the Virginia Department of Human Resource Management, one of the star marketing reps "cold called" her early in 2012 to ask if Anatabloc could be covered by the health insurance plan used by state employees. Wilson asked if the product was a supplement or a drug and was told that it was a supplement. However, Wilson stated that the plan did not cover supplements.
Later, according to Wilson, she was at a meeting concerning the employee health plan at the governor's office where McDonnell allegedly took out a bottle of Anatabloc and discussed how beneficial it had been for him and his wife.
