Have you heard the news? Jose Theodore is out for six to eight weeks with a fractured ankle after a slip on the ice at his front door steps.
I don't know-seems ironic. Although maybe if had skates on, he would have been fine.
Shame for the Canadiens, although maybe this is the shake up they need. First, heir season is less than stellar. Then Theodore gets a positive on a drug test because apparently he is taking some hair plug medicine and now this. Not a great year.

"Then Theodore gets a positive on a drug test because apparently he is taking some hair plug medicine and now this."

For real?

Details... I need details...

Theodore tested positive for a banned substance in a pre-Olympic screening. He chose to release this info (test was done in Dec)- it is not a substance that is banned on the NHL circuit so he's in no trouble. He's used something called Propecia for many years, which is a hair-growth drug that can be used as a masking agent.
There's no steriod implication, anything like that, and apparently he's got a full head of hair, he just likes it really long. This drug stimulates growth.
Dick Pound says the NHL isn't tough enough in their drug testing.
