Georges Laraque wrote his autobiography in a book “The story of the NHL’s unlikeliest tough guy”. He desired to tell about his biography to others. Georges Laraque noted also about intake of anabolic steroids in the National Hockey League (NHL). These facts about steroids use in NHL seemed to be very interesting. The Canadian press published only the quotes related to this eternal subject. The rest of the book was ignored.
Georges Laraque pointed out in an interview that he had never administrated performance-enhancing drugs. Moreover, he pointed out that he hadn’t mentioned any names of the sportsmen that had taken steroids. The book is indeed about life of the author.
The author describes some ways in order to determine whether a hockey player takes steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs or not. Here are 2 ways described by him:
1. A hockey player who gains more than 40 pounds in a short period of time must be applying performance-enhancing drugs.
2. A hockey player whose weight has been reduced significantly in short period of time to correspond to the indications of the Winter Olympics must be using performance-enhancing drugs.
Of course, all sportsmen, including hockey players, know that they will be tested for steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs by the World Anti-Doping Agency. That’s why they cease using the forbidden preparations certain time before the Olympics. It helps them to prevent risk of testing positive for these medications.
But this is not the chief idea of the book. The author desired to display that a child has to put incredible efforts to become a celebrated professional sportsman in spite of discrimination and bullying. But the media doesn’t pay attention on this theme. The media wants to publish stories related to administration of steroids by sportsmen.
It was not the purpose of the author to name the hockey players that took steroids.
Of course, the media asks the author to name steroid users of the NHL.
