Georges Laraque described his life in a book “The story of the NHL’s unlikeliest tough guy”. He desired to tell about his life to others. Georges Laraque noticed also about intake of anabolic steroids in the National Hockey League (NHL). These aspects about administration of steroids in NHL seemed to be very interesting. The Canadian press published only the quotes linked with this eternal subject. The rest of the book was neglected.
Georges Laraque pointed out in an interview that he had never taken performance-enhancing drugs. Furthermore, he noted that he hadn’t mentioned any names of the players that had utilized steroids. The book is indeed about life of the author.
The author notices about certain ways to determine whether a hockey player applies steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs or not. Here are 2 ways mentioned by him:
1. A hockey player who gains more than 40 pounds in a short period of time must be using steroids.
2. A hockey player that reduces his weight significantly in short period of time in order to correspond to the rules of the Winter Olympics must be utilizing performance-enhancing drugs.
Undoubtedly, all sportsmen, including hockey players, know that they will be tested for steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs by the WADA. That’s why they stop using the forbidden preparations certain time before the Olympics. It helps them to escape from risk of testing positive for these medicines.
But this is not the main idea of the book. George Laraque desired to display that a child is required to put incredible efforts to become an excellent professional sportsperson enduring racial intolerance and bullying. But the press doesn’t pay attention on this subject. The press wants to publish stories linked with intake of steroids by sportsmen.
It was not the purpose of the author to to make public the names of the hockey players who took steroids.
Of course, the media asks George Laraque to name steroid users of the NHL.
