Convicted steroid trafficker David Jacobs met with NFL officials Wednesday and told them the names of players he says he supplied with banned performance-enhancing drugs. Jacobs will not, however, identify those players publicly. From the
Dallas Morning News:
"The general topic was his knowledge of steroid and human growth hormone use by current and former players," said Hank Hockeimer, Mr. Jacobs' attorney, who accompanied his client to the meeting that took place in the Dallas area.
"They were thorough in their questioning," Mr. Hockeimer said. "David provided them with documents corroborating what he was telling them."
Mr. Hockeimer would not say which players were discussed.
"My view is that as long as the league is investigating this, we're not going to comment on any names provided," he said.
The one player Jacobs has named publicly is
Matt Lehr, the New Orleans Saints offensive lineman who was suspended for four games in 2006 for violating the NFL policy on steroids and related substances. Lehr, with his suspension behind him, likely won't face further league discipline. The other players whom Jacobs named Wednesday likely won't be as lucky.
