Washington Capitals players interviewed after chiropractor with ties to team arrested on steroids charges<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
A chiropractor that has been visited by several Washington Capitals, Douglas Owen Nagel<\/span>, on steroids charges. Nagel also claimed ties to the Washington Nationals. Nagel is suspected of buying steroids from Richard “Andy” Thomas<\/span>, who was arrested in May 2009 in Polk County, Fla. Thomas claimed then that he had ties to the Caps and Nats which surprised investigators back then.<\/p>\n

The Caps released a statement<\/span><\/a> about the situation yesterday. Included in the statement is:<\/p>\n

The Washington Capitals are not the target of this investigation, and there is no evidence that steroids were provided to any Capitals players.<\/p>\n

This has been a thorough investigation, and we are satisfied that law enforcement, the NHL and our own internal investigation have not led to any link of steroid use by Capitals players.<\/p>\n

The investigation included conversations with the Washington Capitals as far back as September 2009, and we were and have been fully cooperative and transparent in the past as well as today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t think the Nats released a statement.<\/p>\n

Is this a case of some crooks trying to look like big shots? I hope so.<\/p>\n

Update on the Nats, Caps steroids allegations<\/b><\/a> – May 28, 2009<\/i><\/p>\n
