Haboholic Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 WHOA!? i remember listening to the radio and a fan brought this up to explain maybe a reason why he was doing so badly... maybe since the anti dopping testing rules he had to stop takin the drugs. i dont know what drug it is, but dr.mulder will let us know that kind of info i guess. i dont think this is going to help theo's matter. but its kind of sad to happen to a player on our team. PRESS MEETING at 6pm tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecois Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I heard that it was a Habs player on TSN, and this was after hearing that the player was on Canada's list of 80+ players sent out at the beginning of the year so i was instantly worried about it being one of Ryder, Souray or Rivet (i think he was on the list). To be honest, i'm glad it's Theodore and not one of those other players. What a year for #60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Crap. Berard bounced back from this. Hopefully Theo will too. Now we have to wonder if he was taking them back in 01-02... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 "Sources told TSN, the prohibited substance that resulted in this positive test, which was reportedly carried out in November or December as part of pre-Olympic testing, was not an anabolic steroid but a "masking agent” for steroids that is commonly found in hair restoration drugs, with brand names such as Rogaine and Propecia." Maybe Theo was simply trying to keep his beautiful hair from falling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanpuck33 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yeah, cause Souray is such a filthy waste of a human being... He's a Flames fan, he's still pissed about McCarty being dumb enough to let Souray punch him with a braced wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 if all they've found is a masking agent found in rogaine, I'm going to suspend judgment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I don't care if Theo is or isn't on the dope. What pisses me off is this means that is is now officially impossible to trade him. Merde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diebels Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 wow the habs fan say that they're the best but that is obviously not true. unbelievable how moody and mean some of the habs fan are. it's just a disgrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecois Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Looks like it was just a masking agent that was found that is found in a prescription that is used for hair loss purposes. It's really tough not to believe this, as Theodore is rather smallish to begin with and it's hard to see too much of a gain that a goalie would receive from steroid use. Mulder is sure that Theodore never actually used this substance as a masking agent, and i agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm am not saying Theo is guilty! but There are many performance enhancing drugs other than steroids. Let the cocaine rumours begin again. This sucks for the team. Another anchor around their necks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulder is sure that Theodore never actually used this substance as a masking agent, and i agree. I agree as well. Kinda makes you think. The test was administered Dec 17th or so and the results were known Jan 14th.... about the same time Theodore went into the tank. The NHL has no sanction against this "drug" so it will not effect his status, nor will he suspend it's use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He found out about the positive test on the day of the game against San Jose, and if you remember correctly he had a couple of solid outings starting against San Jose and then Dallas so i don't know how much this has to do with Theodore's poor performance.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Theo was told 2 weeks prior to his teast that this "hair grower" was a banned substance. He had an opportunity to record his use on the pre-test form but he didn't. There is more to this than it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 As long as Theo doesn't test positive for nandrolone when the NHL tests him (and I get the feeling they will...soon!), then he has done nothing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komisarek the Cruncher Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The question I'm more concerned about is why did Theo continue to take Propecia even after the NHL visited the Habs on December 5 and told them that it was a banned substance :?- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habby1197 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Theodore is a stringbean... No way is he taking steriods, maybe his hair is falling out? Sure, he's been awful this year, but this really shoudn't even be news, let's move on... Jose hasn't done anything wrong except been a bad goalie this year, and at least he's doing that honestly. I'm sure Gretzky is loving this, takes some attention away from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mils Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 wow the habs fan say that they're the best but that is obviously not true. unbelievable how moody and mean some of the habs fan are. it's just a disgrace Um, news flash, the best fans in any sport are NOT the fans who are all fuzzy for their team when they are sucking. The best fans are the ones who push the team to do better by booing them in their own barn. No coach or team official can be as motivating as a building full of fans booing a crappy performance.

Apparently, however, he forgot to check the "Yes" box next to the question about Propecia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Puck Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Well it seems to me, that banning this drug is wrong. The drug does not enhance performance and has a legitimate use. It is only banned because WADA can't come up with a test for steroids that works in the presence of this drug. To me that is WADA's shortcoming not the drug's nor the people using it. Would it remain banned if it turned out to be useful in treating serious deseases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Theo was being eaten alive in Montreal by the fans. Even if he is 100% innocent, the fans will destroy him. We are at the point where Theo needs to be put on waivers and hopefully someone takes a chance on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
