Bill Cosby got the Quaaludes he used to allegedly drug women he wanted to have sex with from an unscrupulous gynecologist known across Hollywood in the 1970s as a "go-to-doc" for such prescriptions among the rich and famous.

The Washington Post reports Dr. Leroy Amar was Cosby's supplier, adding that the famed comedian once had as many as seven prescriptions for the drug, which were prescribed to him under the pretense of treating his bad back.

Then called "disco biscuits," Quaaludes were widely used as recreational drugs to cause either disorientation or euphoria. The now 77-year-old Cosby's easy access to the drugs has recently sparked renewed attention in the wake of the public release of a deposition the comedian gave 10 years ago in a sexual assault civil case he faced in Pennsylvania.

"Did he know when he gave you those prescriptions that you had no intention of taking them?" a lawyer asked Cosby in the 2005 deposition, to which the Hollywood legend simply replied "yes."

Under further questioning, Cosby also admitted he believed it was illegal for him to be dispensing the drugs in any way. Dozens and dozens of women have recently stepped forward to claim they were drugged and sexually assaulted by Cosby over the years.

As for Amar, whether he was practicing medicine in California, New York or in Maryland, controversy seemed to have little trouble finding him. On several occasions, he lost his license. Disciplinary records from each of those states indicate that Amar would simply pack up and relocate when the hole he had dug for himself became too deep.

In the 1970s, Cosby and Amar moved in the same Hollywood social circles. In his deposition, Cosby said the doctor had an ownership stake in "Club Bayou," a private social club in Los Angeles that he frequented.

Still, some of Cosby's admissions in the deposition have raised the possibility that even Amar was disgusted by some of his alleged actions. In it, a lawyer for Andrea Constand peppers Cosby with questions about a time when Amar confronted him about allegedly drugging and assaulting a young, aspiring singer he had introduced him to.

Tamara Green later publicly accused Cosby, who during the proceedings claimed he did not recall anyone by that name.

For much of the week, Cosby's attorneys have insisted his admissions on drug use do not constitute an admission to any sexual assault charges. Instead, they hinted that like many others, Cosby simply got caught up in using the now-banned drug much like many others did at that time.

"There are countless tales of celebrities, music stars, and wealthy socialites in the 1970's willingly using Quaaludes for recreational purposes and during consensual sex," the attorneys argued in their motion.
