Federal authorities in North Texas are investigating a New Orleans Saints offensive lineman for allegedly distributing steroids and have subpoenaed a current member of the Atlanta Falcons to testify for federal grand jurors in the matter, The New York Times reported late Monday.

But the attorney for Matt Lehr, 28, says his client has done nothing wrong.

great we are involved with dirty birds....
hopefully this turns into nothing....

The Times' story, published online Monday night, says Mr. Coggins acknowledged that his client was under investigation but said the investigation would probably be dropped.


any ideas which dirty bird it is??

The Times did not identify which Atlanta Falcons player has been subpoenaed to testify in the case.

Mike Vick LOL LOL ..... ha ha. Sorry I had to.

The attorney, Paul Coggins, has repeatedly told The Dallas Morning News over the past several weeks that he could not confirm that Mr. Lehr was being investigated.

Mike ( Paul Crew ) Vick didn't play on the prison football team.

Saints | Convict says he sold steroids to Lehr
Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:31:48 -0700

Jason Trahan and Gary Jacobson, of The Dallas Morning News, report convicted steroids trafficker David Jacobs said he sold large amounts of illegal performance-enhancing drugs to New Orleans Saints OG Matt Lehr. Jacobs said Lehr used a hair-loss prevention drug as a masking agent for steroid use in 2006.

Oh well, the reason for drafting Carl Nicks is pretty obvious now... LMAO

Considering the Saints just signed him and hasn't really been a part of the club, it's no real problem for us. The Saints knew his problems with drugs and if this goes any farther all the club has to do is release him.

Re: Matt Lehr named in steriod investigation in TX
 

It concerns me, and it concerns me quite a lot. We didn't draft a center. Nor did we get one from the undrafted free agents.

Damn, I wish we would've picked up Steve Justice in the 6th. He made a lot of sense to me, to be developed into a starter in a few seasons, and to function as a backup until then. He'd have been fine on our practice squad, IMO. I know we coveted that PK, but we could've made both happen.

So I guess the plan is to stick with Goodwin at center, with Alleman backing him up, but no one after that. Right?

No. Nesbit can play center if something happens to Goody.

I do find it kind of funny that this comes out a week or so after we sign him and so "Saints" gets stuck in the headline.

does it seem a little like Payton has dropped his standard a tiny bit. I mean we are not the Bengals but it seems like before we wouldn't touch anyone that had any kind of history. We just seem more flexible.

The steroids thing doesn't bother me. Shawne Merriman came back quite nicely from it. Sometimes guys juice to heal quicker. Im not really sure what they are trying to investigate about him if he was just a user and not a distributor.
Also, Im a big believer that if you best players are also your best character players they tend to bring up the character of the team, including the guys that might fall out of line more easily if say you had a T.O. as a leader in your clubhouse.

Re: Matt Lehr named in steriod investigation in TX
 

No, I don't think so - these guys are all gonna be backups, IF they even make the cuts. And the only way they're gonna do that is play well, AND keep their noses clean. Squeaky clean. So there's not much risk in these guys, but their is the potential for high reward.

Now if had traded for Pacman Jones or something, then yeah, you'd have a damn strong point.

the saints are a consistantly straight team..meaning....not too many problems off the field..i think steroids are a problem in the NFL...but if matt lehr is a juicer all we gotta do is release him...he violated a contract if he did and therefore we wont even have to pay him lol....he hasnt helped us yet but i think he would've started this year until goodwin was ready....alleman wont play center....he is a guard and a good one at that...he'll get some play time this year on the left side i think...i dont think nesbit will last for too much longer
