It's funny because Nate Schmidt on their team also violated the performance enhancing program terms. Maybe the team should name itself Vegas Golden Showers because it's a team that needs its pee tested. 3 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Last time Vegas stood by Schmidt and strongly disagreed with the suspension - not this time. His own statement: “I’ve been informed that I am being suspended for 20 games under the NHL/NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program. While I haven’t been able to discover how I tested positive, I understand that I am responsible for what is in my body and will accept this penalty. I want to apologize to my family, my teammates, and the Golden Knights organization and fans. I will work hard during my suspension to ensure that I put myself in the best possible position to contribute to my team when my suspension is over.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EP-40 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Based on his response it sounds like he wasnt even tested. How can they suspend someone they have not actually drug tested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 20games is that all. Cycling is 4 year ban, UFC is 2 year ban. A quarter season really seems a little soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe-max Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hockey is not clean, there is too much money involved. The questions is, why was Zykov caught? a) The NHL wanted a case to prove it is serious about its PED policy and made sure it was a Russian b) The Golden Knights are a bunch of cheaters c) Zykov is dumb Quote Yesalis, who has served as a consultant to (among others) the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy, U.S. Senate Judiciary and Committees, the NFLPA, the USOC and NCAA: "Combine the availability of these drugs with the loopholes in testing -- the loopholes are so big, I could drive an M1 Abrams Tank through it, in the total darkness, without night vision on, and not scrape it. There is no suspicion among fans. Drug testing is a facade, it's only to keep politicians away, and give fans plausible deniability. They think their sport idols, the guys and gals they really like to watch perform, are naturally big and fast and strong. Frankly, I don't know if fans do care if they dope, they just don't want it shoved into their face." https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/25317435/why-there-more-ped-cases-nhl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strombone Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 He probably didn't actually take anything on purpose. His stats would suggest that he doesn't use any PEDs. He inherited it from his Russian doping ancestors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
