Casting a wide net of allegations following his arrest, a Florida man told law enforcement authorities that he sold steroids to professional athletes in a variety of sports, according to the Associated Press. “You name the sport, and I’ve sold steroids to athletes who play it,” said Richard Thomas, according to Polk County detectives. However, Thomas didn’t mention any NFL teams or players. Thomas, who was arrested along with his wife and charged with multiple counts of possession of illegal steroids, firearms and using a dwelling for drug use, made specific allegations of dealing steroids to the Washington Nationals and the Washington Capitals. In a news release, the sheriff’s office in Lakeland, Fla., said that Thomas didn’t identify any individual players. It added that they have no evidence beyond the statements Thomas has made.
