A Florida man who claimed he sold steroids to Washington Capitals and Washington Nationals players pleaded guilty to possession with intent to sell the bodybuilding drug.

Former bodybuilder and personal trainer Richard Thomas, 36, boasted that he was central Florida's largest steroids dealer after investigators tracked a large shipment of the drug to his home. The Nationals and Capitals have said they have no evidence that their players used steroids.

Thomas, who made his plea in federal court in Tampa, faces up to five years in prison.
