Two NFL players in Texas steroid ring? Matt Lehr named again

The New York Times reports a Grand Jury in Texas may be calling a couple NFL players to testify in the case of a Texas gym owner-steroid dealer.  Dave Jacobs, a local Plano gym owner promised to bring down a couple NFL players, and he just may deliver the goods (or bads).  He implicated Matt Lehr (and here)an NFL lineman.

When David Jacobs, a personal trainer and supplement-store owner from Plano, Tex., pleaded guilty to steroid-distribution charges in November and agreed to cooperate with federal authorities, he told a local television station that he would offer evidence linking football players to performance-enhancing drugs.

Five months later, information from Jacobs has led authorities to subpoena at least one active N.F.L. player — a member of the Atlanta Falcons — to testify before a federal grand jury in Texas, said two lawyers with direct knowledge of the matter. The player has not been publicly identified.

The lawyers also said that one of the subjects of the grand jury’s investigation was Matt Lehr, an offensive lineman for the New Orleans Saints who played for the Dallas Cowboys from 2001 to 2004 and for the Falcons from 2005 to 2006. The N.F.L. suspended him for four games in 2006 after he tested positive for a banned substance.

The lawyers said Lehr was being investigated for the suspected distribution of performance-enhancing drugs. The investigation is being led by the United States attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Texas.

This investigation simmered for a awhile; it might be picking-up some speed.  The NFL admits involvement oo:

The N.F.L., meanwhile, is cooperating with the government’s investigation, according to Greg Aiello, a league spokesman.

In an e-mail message, Aiello did not say what the league’s cooperation entailed. He also declined to say if league security personnel had reached out to Jacobs to learn more about what he told federal authorities.
