Confirmed with Link: Nichushkin back in assistance program; suspended a minimum of six months

[Toothless Legend]

Cocaine fuelled Nuke is a thing of beauty. Endless energy, relentless every shift and plays the game hard.

And then does Olympic lifts post-game, just cuz.

 

[sethro109]

He’ll be suspended before the new year.

Do you honestly believe that we'll be that lucky? His next suspension will come right before a game seven in the playoffs.

 

[henchman21]

In theory, there are only two random, no notice tests for the Avs. So if he can squeak by both, he should pass the 48 hour notice tests too. The bad news, he got pinched on 2/3 of the no notice tests last year.

 

[Murzu]

Let's just hope that if he gets caught again it happens before the trade deadline.

 

[dahrougem2]

I hope the Avs players collectively beat his ass if/when he gets caught again.

And IF he manages to stay clean, watch how bad of a player he is.

Yeah gotta hope that for this year most certainly. On the downside there would be uncertainty on the following season.

The absolute worst case is him getting caught between the deadline and the playoffs. It would screw this and next season unless he agrees to a mutual termination.

I'm not sure who is capable of fighting Nuke on the coke

How long does Coke stay in your system to be picked up on a test?

How long does Coke stay in your system to be picked up on a test?

Urine test up to 4 days.

Blood test up to 2 days.

Urine test up to 4 days.

Blood test up to 2 days.

Which does the NHL do?

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Best case scenario is that he comes back, plays well, and we ship his ass out to some chump team before he either a) gets caught again, or b) gets clean but goes back to sucking again like he did with Dallas.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Which does the NHL do?

Urine.

 

[henchman21]

Which does the NHL do?

NHL is urine test unless it is agreed upon for a different test.

The timeframe on a urine test for the occasional user (say once a month) will be under 2 days. Someone who does it say weekly will move to 3-4 days. A daily user who has used it for months might be 10-14 days.

 

[Avs9296]

Urine.

So for Nuke to have gotten pinched multiple times he's at the very least a weekly user, probably even more like every few days.

The three standard tests (training camp, regular season, and playoffs) are no notice tests. So that could be bad luck and getting caught at the wrong times. But odds are he’s a multiple time a week user.

 

[Balthazar]

He needs to carry a clean bag of piss on him at all times then. Pay someone to piss in it daily.

What about a person like Nuke that uses it daily breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
