I was just going to post this. I just heard about this 15 minutes ago. I'm totally shocked. Schmidt is denying that he used PEDs but for the league to hand out a 20 game suspension they must have some pretty strong evidence.
DC_1908:
yeah, this is bullshit. The NHL dies all the shit completely subjectively with little to rationaliy or logic.
It could have been anything from GNC Ceratine, to Sudafed, to a cup of coffee with one to many espresso shots . . . but just looking at him, you can tell Nate isn’t at the end of a third cycle of Anderol.
It is far more plausible for this (not eligble for appeal) event to be a PR stunt by the NHL than Nate Schmidt speed balling heroine and roids the morning of a test.
I hope Nate lawyers up and goes on the attack
Maacoshark:
I havent heard what substance he tested positive for. If its something stupid like what happened to Backstrom in the Olympics I'll be pretty pissed off.
For a 20 game suspension it would have to be serious. I havent heard whether or not Schmidt intends on appealing. If he insists that he isn't guilty then he can't accept the suspension. If he accepts the suspension I would assume he is guilty.
PEDs in sports is a very touchy subject. I believe there is a lot more use of PEDs than we know about. I'm sure alot of positive tests are hidden. How do they decide who they are going to make an example of?
4 Caps:
Very shocking and disappointing news. I don’t know what to think. It is hard to believe the NHL would hand down a 20 game suspension if they believed he didn’t know he had ingested the substance.
