TFoA 43 Posted January 19, 2006 Somewhere right now, Dick Pound is smiling. First of all, if that isn't the funniest name I've ever seen in my life, then I don't know what is.Also, he should receive some sort of punishment for using steroids. Too bad that according to that report, the NHL does nothing about it. I think this might've opened a can of worms. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCBoy 1 Posted January 20, 2006 Interesting. I wouldn't have thought. Also interesting that the NHL isn't suspending him, only the IOC is. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TFoA 43 Posted January 20, 2006 Interesting. I wouldn't have thought. Also interesting that the NHL isn't suspending him, only the IOC is. Which doesn't really mean anything since he didn't get on the Olympic team. Slap on the wrist if anything. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJTank 1,129 Posted January 20, 2006 Well the NHL oughta suspend him what was the agreement 20 games? I say it shoudl be more like 30 first offense and Berard should sit now. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which doesn't really mean anything since he didn't get on the Olympic team. Slap on the wrist if anything. Not only a slap on the wrist, but he can't compete internationally for the next two years.As far as NHL punishment goes, I think they haven't announced anything yet because the test hasn't been performed by the NHL, but by the IOC. There migh (and should) be some sanctions coming from the NHL though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VitaminD 2 Posted January 20, 2006 Somewhere right now, Dick Pound is smiling. Right where I'm sitting, a 30-year old man is giggling like a schoolboy at the appearance of the name "Dick Pound". Hopefully, Dick Button can make a cameo as well. *crosses fingers* 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There migh (and should) be some sanctions coming from the NHL though. The NHL apparently can't discipline him, based on the CBA.But it could "randomly" select him.If Pound is smiling, he shouldn't be-the only positive test was Berard's out of about a 100 NHL players tested.1% positive results does not vindicate Pound's comments. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwertman 192 Posted January 21, 2006 Well the NHL oughta suspend him what was the agreement 20 games? I say it shoudl be more like 30 first offense and Berard should sit now. I saw an article somewhere that stated,that hes passed 2 tests since which were administered by the NHL and someone else whom i cant recall,which is why he has not been disciplined by the league 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigga 40 Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) CMIIW...Berard can't be suspended, because this was not an NHL administered test. The test pertained to International competitions only, and he's already been punished. Kinda case closed, right?
