Quarterback allegedly supplied with performance-enhancing drugs while with the Falcons Aaron Wilson
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was allegedly supplied with performance-enhancing drugs while he played for the Atlanta Falcons, according to a high-profile Texas steroids dealer's comments to the Dallas Morning News before he died.
Per the report, Vick has denied to federal authorities that he ever used PEDs.
The newspaper says it didn't previously come forward with Jacobs' allegations because officials declined to confirm that Vick was part of their investigation into Jacobs, who ran a nationwide steroids ring.
Citing a newly released document stating that Vick was questioned about steroids and human growth hormone that came up during the investigation into his dogfighting involvement, Vick denied any involvement with PEDs.
Vick's agent didn't comment on the situation.
Vick was told during the interview that a DEA informant claimed that Vick was overheard saying he "liked his product," in a reference to steroids and human growth hormone.
No one can ask Jacobs any more questions about the matter.
He killed himself and his girlfriend in June of 2008.
The NFL released the following statement to the newspaper about the investigation: "Based on our investigation and the available information, we have been unable to substantiate any of Mr. Jacobs' claims that he provided performance-enhancing substances to NFL players. Consistent with our policy, we will continue to vigorously pursue all credible claims and take action as appropriate."

Oh great. Next you'll tell me he was involved in illegal dog fighting and that there are problems in the Middle East!
You'd think that haters wouldn't take it to the grave.
The constant attempts to link Michael Vick to improprieties only evidences that much of the turmoil that he has experienced was orchestrated by indeed some bona fide haters, who envied his talent and pockets.
Oh, somebody else's life isn't going right, so blame it on Vick - BS
Could explain why so many of his passes ended up in the tenth row.
So you're saying the "links" to dog fighting were just because some folks have some irrational hatred for Mike Vick? There was nothing to it?
