Thread: Laraque to Canseco the joint up?????

Former enforcer Georges Laraque claims steroid use was common in NHL in book - ESPN

MONTREAL -- Retired NHL enforcer Georges Laraque says in a new book that steroid use was commonplace for years in hockey dressing rooms.

And it wasn't limited to just the league's bruisers, Laraque wrote in "The Story of the NHL's Unlikeliest Tough Guy."

Laraque, who is now a deputy leader of the federal Green Party, doesn't accuse any players by name in the book. He said enforcers also used steroids to gain weight before arriving in the pros, and took substances such as Ephedrine so they would be desensitized before a fight.

The NHL and the NHL Players' Association haven't responded to Laraque's claims. Testing for performance enhancing substances was included in the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the union in 2005.

He also said Gretzky was the worst coach he ever played for. Me thinks he is just trying to sell books at this point.

Not saying that he is lying, just a whore trying to sell books. If he was all noble and stuff, why didn't he come out about it years ago?

Let's start speculating.

I'll start. Lindros and Tkachuk. Ready? Go!

Yeah, I get your point. His timing and his general douchebagginess just make it a bitter pill. He's no hero. He's just another disgruntled washed up has been trying to make money enough to cover up his divorce settlements/bankruptcies/legal bills, by throwing folks under the bus...long after the fact that he enjoyed a career by sticking the needle in his acne'd ass right alongside of them. Here's your bag o'silver Judas.

edit, talking about Canseco here.

I see your post and raise you a Messier...

Tie Domi was definitely on the juice.

I am just waiting for when someone writes a book about all the shenanigans that went on in Philly. Might be more salacious than Motley Crue's The Dirt.
