New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Matt Lehr, who was suspended four games in 2006 for violating the NFL’s policy on anabolic steroids and related substances, is the target of a claim from a convicted steroids dealer that said convicted steroids dealer sold steroids and HGH to Lehr.

David Jacobs, who pleaded guilty last year to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute anabolic steroids, contends that Lehr masked steroids with a hair-loss drug.

“Mr. Jacobs has peddled these tales to the government unsuccessfully,” Lehr’s lawyer, Paul Cogginsm told the Associated Press.  “He is a confessed felon awaiting sentencing, and is desperate to implicate others to shorten his sentence.”

The Dallas Morning News reported in November 2007 that Jacobs has implicated other players.  Lehr is the only one whose named has been released/leaked/blabbed.
