Perhaps a loser trying to get his 15 min of Fame?

Here we go, hopefully this ain't gonna destroy NHLs rep. Although there is no evidence thus far, a spark is all you need.

Ha there are a lot of crude jokes I could make about this story, but i hope it isn't true. If the Caps were taking performance-enhancing drugs during the playoffs, their supply must have ran out about a day before Game 7.

I sincerely hope it isn't true.

I would also argue that if he indeed did sell PEDs to the Washington Nationals, they appear to have been a fairly useless product.

The reality is that PEDs are used in every major professional league. Mind you, I'm not talking about heavy hitters like anabolic steroids and HGH, necessarily. Stimulants and cortizone shots can be classified the same way too, I've always felt.

Haha very good point. If he sold to the Nationals, why the heck would he ever admit it????

Paleeze. This doochebag gets busted and then "names" a couple sports teams, yet has no evidence other than his word? Is he going to try to sell us some swampland next?

Obviously by the way the Capitals performed in game 7, any allocations of steroid use or performance enhancing drugs is pure fabrication. This guys just some low life drug dealer looking for attention.

I could definitely see Huggy Bear/Brasear juicing.

I'm not so certain hockey is squeaky clean. We'd like to think it is but the same motivations prevail in hockey as in other sports. Injury recovery, getting drafted, making it in the bigs, getting from minors to bigs, putting on those extra pounds of muscle, etc. I'd bet the farm a lot of knuckle draggers use them.

No offense but Shrek Malkin looks like an experiment gone bad.

You might have a point there.

Ovechkin is just a good player.
I really don't see a whole lot of evidence of PEDs (roids anyway) in hockey. I don't believe it would be terribly helpful to begin with. This is a different kind of game, like futbol is. It's constant motion. If you notice, it's really only the stop and start snoozefests that use those things

If the movies have taught us anything is that Russians don't win when they take steroids.

Now that's funny.

Selling roids to the Natinals? Don't think it's working...

Ovechkin is uglier. I agree. But Shrek's face seems out of whack. Large jaw, etc. I'm not saying he is truly the result of anything, it just looks that way.

And for sure hired goons are using the juice. John Kordic did. Hard to get a body like that without it. Bobby Hull back in the day pitched hay all summer. Many take the easier route today.

I don't think it's rampant in hockey but it's there. To say otherwise is just being in denial.

Look, if Chernobyl happened in your backyard, you wouldn't be too pretty either. Cut them both a break. I am sure neither one has a problem getting tail. :)

Best thing about the Eastern Bloc guys is their grilles are so freakin' bad they make the English feel good about themselves....

Then again....

Chernobyl happened RIGHT in the backyard (not literally - Ukraine) of Ruslan Fedotenko and that boy is darn pretty.

So, there goes my theory.
