Steroids maker 'advised' NFL players
David Jacobs, who was sentenced to probation on Thursday for distributing steroids and H.G.H., said he advised about 10 N.F.L. players on gaming the league's drug-testing policy. One way, he said, was to have team doctors write them prescriptions for drugs that would mask steroid use. Among the dealers he supplied were two N.F.L. players, Jacobs said, who would then supply a handful of other N.F.L. players with the banned substances.

Looks like a ploy he is using to try and cut a deal. With drug use in sports, front and center in congress, you can bet he will be pressed to name names.
Which he will happily do in return for leniency.

Steroids and HGH will continue in all sports until they start prosecuting the players and not just the distributors. You start having some of these players put in jail and maybe the others will get the message.
The message right now is, "who care, it's in the pass, let's move on" It's crap like that, that makes them think nothing serious will happen. We know the sports aren't going to do anything, so maybe the law should.

As if the 10 players didn't advise other players like teammates. You're pretty naive there, Cheesedaddy!
