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 noticed also about intake of anabolic steroids in the National Hockey League (NHL). These aspects about steroids use in NHL seemed to be very interesting. The Canadian press published only the quotes connected 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, the author noted that he hadn’t mentioned any names of the sportsmen that had administrated steroids. The book is indeed an autobiography.
The author mentions about certain ways to determine whether a hockey player utilizes steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs or not. Here are 2 ways noticed by him:
1. A hockey player whose weight has been increased by more than 40 pounds in a short period of time must be taking performance-enhancing drugs.
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 administrating steroids.
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 taking the forbidden medications certain time before the Olympics. It helps them to avoid risk of testing positive for these medicines.
But this is not the chief idea of the book. The author desired to display that a child is required to put incredible efforts to become a good professional sportsperson in spite of racial intolerance and bullying. But the media is not interested in this subject. The press intends to publish stories connected with intake of steroids by athletes.
It was not the goal of the author to name the hockey players that took steroids.
Of course, the media tries to convince George Laraque to name steroid users of the NHL.
