Habs players were visited by NHL officials and had to submit a urine sample. The test will show if players have taken performance-enhancing drugs. Other tests could also have been done to detect other drugs (cannabis, cocaine, chocolate) but its confidential. Should take a couple of weeks for the NHL to come up with results.

Sooo... I guess if some Habs players somehow mysteriously disappears in a couple weeks from now, we'll know he isnt clean...

With all the rumours this is not a surprise test, this had to be done by the NHL.

And it has to be done a lot more often.

Kozed failed to mention that, according to the article, in NHL :

10 teams have this test done once a year

10 teams have it done twice

10 teams have it done 3 times a year

by the NHL, so it's just a normal routine test.

The fact that the press found out about the test being done is probably a deliberate leak given all the rumours around. As has been pointed out, drug tests are part of the CBA and are done throughout the season randomly.

"Habs players get surprised drug test"

Apparently it wasn't just the players who were surprised!

"What the hell.... why are these guys peeing on me?!" :lol:

They're not targeting the Habs as in "singling them out". The phases of tests that all teams go through happens at random. The rumours and what happened last week I believe simply led to a rescheduling for the Habs. I believe the NHL sent the executive security officials to Montreal and decided to do this rescheduling and test now. I don't believe that this test is one greater than they or any other team have to do. If every team receives 3 tests throughout the year, this is not a 4th. This is simply 1 of the 3.

Rescheduling is all that has happened I believe.

I hope :unsure:
