The wild thing was people actually bought Evgeny Kuznetsov’s explanation.
He now admits he was lying and has a coke problem, NHL says they don’t care.
Washington Capitals star Evgeny Kuznetsov — one of the biggest stars in hockey — has been suspended from international play after testing positive for booger sugar.
… and after a video surfaced showing Evgeny in a hotel room with lines of white powder chopped up on a table, it’s really no surprise to anyone.
Here’s the deal … back in May, the footage surfaced on social media showing Evgeny in a room with a woman with white lines on a table next to a rolled up dollar bill.
The NHL put out a statement saying, “Unlike the IIHF, cocaine is not considered a performance enhancing drug and is therefore not a Prohibited Substance under the NHL/NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program.”
