LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say they have arrested a Florida man who told investigators he sold anabolic steroids to professional athletes, including players on two Washington sports teams.
According to a news release, Richard Thomas told Polk County detectives that he sold steroids to athletes on the Washington Nationals baseball team and the Capitals hockey team. He told investigators "You name the sport, and I've sold steroids to athletes who play it."
The sheriff's office says Thomas didn't name specific players, and that they have no evidence other than his statements.
Thomas and his wife, Sandra, were arrested Tuesday. They have been charged with several counts of possession of illegal steroids, firearms, and maintaining a dwelling for drug use. It is unclear if they have an attorney.

Or, maybe it brings into question the allegations against Barry Bonds. I mean how can steroids (allegedly) help one hit over 700 homeruns and at the same time (allegedly) help players on a team suck at the highest levels?
