Bäckström to receive silver medal

[Oan]

It really bothers me how nonchalant people are about this (even in these forums). This just sets a precedent for the future where elite NHL-players can practically get away with everything doping-related.

Really, if this had happened to even some elite skier, he would have been banned, and hard. But hockey-player? No problem, and no responsibility whatsoever, different rules for them apparently.

Lost me at the bolded part, but you might got some undisclosed information.

They want to see NHL players in South Korea, too...

People still whining about this?

They did a study, untrained athletes ran very negligibly better 1500, where was NCAA division 1 runners, there was no difference.

Maybe that's because there were differing circumstances that would take more than one sentence to examine?

Just a thought.
