"Individual players can be selected for random testing during the regular season and playoffs. Any time the testing takes place, it must be done "at work on the day of a scheduled practice or meeting." Testing does not occur on game days."

"The new edict allowed for testing in the playoffs and offseason, though in a limited capacity. A maximum of 60 players are tested in the offseason, and they are selected randomly. Every team is subject to teamwide, no-notice testing once during training camp and once during the regular season."

Why haven't there been more PED cases in the NHL? Do hockey players really not dope or is the system designed to allow them to hide? We ask NHLers, along with experts in the sports science field.

The testing regulations are honestly hilarious/depressing

Here's a description from an ESPN article from 2018 on the regs in 2013, which I am 99% sure haven't changed/at least couldn't find anything about it publicly:

It’ll ramp up a bit for the Olympics but in general it’s not super frequent

Doping control haha

Would be very funny though to get outed after not reporting your whereabouts because of wanting to hide your gay affair, and then having to use that argument in court. I could also envision that as a start of a fake dating premise 😂

Idk, I don’t think antidoping would care about reporting a hookup, and they’re often just in the same hotel. Plus you can choose a specific hour that testers can come to you, lots do early morning iirc, so just don’t spend the night haha

Like about the smoking?

Elaborate? I can’t figure out what you mean so I’m curious lol

(I watched a few days ago)

It’s notoriously quite lax in hockey

Obviously Synt, idk what you’re implying here 😇

Are you thinking of Politt going into a cafe mid-race?

Love this pairing 🫶

What the hell 💀

Not that I’m very familiar with European/DUI laws but that feels pretty lenient?
