In an article from the Tampa Tribune, accused steroid dealer Richard Thomas of Lakeland, Florida and his wife were arraigned on charges of possessing anabolic steroids with intent to sell and importing anabolic steroids into Florida, among other counts.
The most interesting part of the story, however, is the two teams that were mentioned as having players who received anabolic steroids from Mr. Thomas. Both were Washington teams, one being the Nationals and the other being the Capitals.
This is breaking news in Florida, and little is known about the story. But should this news turn out to be true, it would reflect poorly not only on the Capitals, but the NHL as a whole. And this after Gary Bettman said there was not a drug problem in the NHL.
This story will be watched closely to see exactly what comes of things. It could be a boastful lie on the part of Richard Thomas, or it could be the start of a disastrous time for hockey.
