NFL 'met with steroids dealer'
NFL investigators met with convicted steroids dealer David Jacobs, who said he provided performance-enhancing drugs to professional players, the New York Times reported on its website on Friday.
Jacobs pleaded guilty last year in federal court to conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute anabolic steroids. He was sentenced to probation on May 1.
Jacobs has said he provided steroids and human growth hormone to NFL offensive lineman Matt Lehr and another player.
He also said the players he sold performance-enhancing drugs to supplied them to other players.
According to the report, NFL investigators visited Jacobs the day after he was sentenced.
"They wanted to know what information I had and what other documentary evidence I could provide them," Jacobs told the newspaper.
"I told them I was not going to talk specifics without my lawyer present. They wanted to know a list of players I dealt with and knew, and I told them I didn't feel comfortable doing that."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed to the newspaper that league investigators met with Jacobs and that future meetings are scheduled.
Lehr's lawyer denied that his client ever sold steroids or HGH.
