Toronto Columnist Takes Issue With NHL’s New Drug Policy
The drug policy contained in the new NHL’s CBA is “limited to performance-enhancing
substances,” according to Al Strachan of the TORONTO SUN. League execs told team
governors, “All other forms of ‘substance abuse’ and behavioural and domestic
issues requiring employee assistance will continue to be handled through the NHL/NHLPA
Program for Substance Abuse and Behavioural Health.” Strachan: “In other words,
the same program it had before the lockout. It merely added another committee
to deal with the use of ‘performance-enhancing’ substances.” Also, the league
and NHLPA “have to agree on the substances in question.” Additionally, Sudafed,
“a staple of many NHL players’ diets, will not be on the list,” as it was “specifically
excluded” (TORONTO
SUN, 7/27).
