zumpano21 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 This story will only get better before it goes away. Cherepanov's autopsy shows that he had been "blood doping" at the time of his death and also that he had myocarditis (or infectious cardiomyopathy, usu. viral). I'm not entirely sure what to make of this apart from reinforcing that he should not have been playing hockey. It will be interesting to see how this creates fallout in both the KHL and NHL. I imagine that the Rangers PR men are working overtime on this one. TSN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitforming Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 File this under the "not suprised" catagory Blood doping is more common in the Euro hockey leagues then anyone would like to think, and even more so in the Russian circles.
