BARTOW, Fla. (AP) — A Virginia chiropractor who treated members of the Washington Capitals hockey team has pleaded guilty to steroids charges in a Florida court.

A spokesman for the state attorney in Polk County, Fla., says Douglas Nagel was sentenced to three years of probation after pleading guilty Tuesday to attempted possession of a controlled substance.

Caps players Matt Bradley, Shaone Morrisonn and Eric Fehr admitted receiving chiropractic treatment from Nagel but denied getting steroids from him. Nagel also denied that he ever distributed steroids and said the drugs he ordered from a Florida supplier were for personal use.

The supplier, Andrew Thomas, had told investigators that the steroids were for professional athletes. Police were skeptical the quantity of steroids Nagel ordered were for personal use.
