The NFL's investigation into a now-deceased steroids dealer appears to be widening. On Tuesday, the lawyer for a player previously linked to the case refused to confirm or deny his client's involvement.
The lawyer for ex-Dallas Cowboy Matt Lehr told CBS
11 News that his client "has not received the same kind of letter as
Ryan Fowler."
Fowler, who also used to play for the Cowboys, has received a letter from the league saying he faces
suspension, according to his lawyer. That lawyer, Peter Ginsberg, said Monday he assumes the letter
stems from the David Jacobs case.
Paul Coggins represents Matt Lehr. Coggins also said Tuesday that Lehr has not received any phone
calls from the league. But when we asked if Lehr had met with league
officials, Coggins said, "we're not going to comment on any interaction
he's had with the NFL."
David Jacobs was the convicted steroids dealer who killed himself at his Plano house last week. He had met with NFL investigators in May.
Lehr and Fowler were teammates with the Dallas Cowboys in 2004.
Jacobs said publicly that he had sold steroids to Lehr, but Coggins has said Jacobs' allegations were retaliation because Lehr refused to pay Jacobs' legal fees.
The NFL suspended Lehr in 2006 for violating its banned substances policy.
Lehr currently plays for the New Orleans Saints. Tuesday, Coggins said he "plans on playing with the team all season long."
