[MessierII]

You said he was taking steroids. I said prove it. Still waiting.

What did he get suspended for 20 games for?

Golf: O'Grady says players use beta-blockers: Drugs 'helped win

AT LEAST seven of the world's top golfers take beta- blockers. Mac O'Grady does not have positive proof of this but he is sure none the less. 'Golf should have random urine tests,' he said.

Hmmm, seems like other athletes agree it can be a performance enhancing drug, but im sure you know so much more.

Watch what Tavares does tonight using Amulet power.

He took performance enhancers ; got suspended for 20 games . You’re just grasping at semantics. Who cares. He’s served it

 

[93gilmour93]

Caffeine can be a performance enhancer

I'm sure he got 20 games cause he stopped at Dunkin Donuts. Case closed. Lmao

 

[Just Rude]

What did he get suspended for 20 games for?

Probably caffeine.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Aaron learned his lesson tbh no more getting the large coffee.

 

[Gizmoskevich]

Get a room everyone.

Yeah you’re right, steroids only item on banned substance list

I just failed a drug test at work. Stupid Tim Hortons. Why must you be so delicious

 

[Coffey]

You Leaf fans are fighting a losing discussion here.

 

[Do or Die]

The amount of hockey talk in this thread is impressive.....

 

[HockeyVirus]

Mods coming back into the thread

 

[CupsOverCash]

I'm sure it's already been asked but who does fl try to take out today?

 

[Mr Nogatco]

Not slander if it’s true . Which this absolutely is .. I actually liked Ekblad. Played junior in my home town / saw him lots . Shame what he’s become

If you don’t know what substance he took how can you say it’s true it was a steroid?

I would think someone with the username TheKrebsCycle would be a little more knowledgeable about organic chemistry

We just need to clear up Coffee gate first

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

One thing I've learned in these threads is Florida fans will fight to the death before conceding a single obvious point.

That’s called a Venti you uncultured swine

At the time of his suspension, Ekblad said that he mistakenly ingested a banned substance while taking something designed to help his recovery from injury without first checking with the proper medical and team personnel. He issued a public apology to his teammates, the organization and fans.

Kadri a year prior got 3 games for boarding Wingels in the 2018 playoffs.
He got suspended against for a late cross check to the head of DeBrusk in 19 for what 5 games? Game 2 it occurred, right?

So, he had the time-frame for the repeater status. Not that I agree with the overall length handed out in 2019.

I don't have a great memory of every suspension league wide during the playoffs, but I'm curious if the lengths have stayed the same or decreased to not handicap teams as much depending on the penalty. Are they letting them play more since 19/20?

I doubt Ekblad will get away with another "headhunting" shot without getting thrown the book at since he just served two games for the hit on Hagel.

Parros didn't play for Boston. unless this is a Colin Campbell deep NHL suspension.

I believe bunting also got suspended for a hit on cernak in 2023

And there is a Matt Martin suspension in the first minute of the series vs Columbus. No, not Matt Martin … what’s that guys name? Plays for the marlies now, I think. Can’t remember

could be any number of banned substances, many of which aren’t steroids
