Why doesn’t Laraque identify names of steroid users in his book?

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.

However a steroid distribution organization avoided face-to-face interactions, the dealers were caught

An investigation that lasted 2 years detected and shut an immense underground lab related to steroids. The investigation was led under name “Operation Bulk Up”. It was a well-planned activity of the certain authorities in Lebanon (Ohio).
As it was found out, a distributor of steroids distributed these drugs to members of the Cardio Strength Center of the YMCA. So, when the Warren County Prosecutor’s Office was informed about it, the investigations began. The authority made a decision to send an officer that had to pretend being a member of the YMCA to the steroid dealer. Major John Burke, the leader of the Warren County Drug Task Force, was chosen for this purpose.
Mike Caroll, the President and CEO of the YMCA, was the only individual at this association that was told about the investigation. He could keep all things he knew about the operation of the Drug Task Force in secret. So, a huge steroid distribution organization was detected.
32 persons were involved in the illegal activity linked with selling of steroids. They were accused in corrupt activities, trafficking and possession of steroids. The investigation intended to detect just producers and distributors of steroids. Although it didn’t focalize on persons that got these drugs, the officers mentioned that professional athletes and bodybuilders belonged to the customers.
The law enforcement seized 600,000 dollars that were claimed to be a profit from selling of steroids, 300, 000 dollars in cash and vehicles and 100 weapons.
Mike Caroll, the President and CEO of the YMCA told openly to media about the results of the investigation. He was not afraid to note that he had participated in this activity to catch the criminal organization. Caroll said that he was very happy to find out about the positive results.
It is important to notice that it was quite difficult to detect the criminal organization. The undercover agent had to put efforts to purchase steroids from a dealer. As a result of the investigation, an underground laboratory in Tennessee was detected. It produced steroids in injectable form. The raw was bought from China. The leaders of distribution were Ronald Herbort and Matthew Geraci.
According to Major Burke, personal interactions between dealers and customers were avoided in this organization. There was a specific organized locker system which helped to prevent direct interactions.
Although this activity linked with manufacture and distribution of steroids was well-organized, the authorities could detect it to shut the laboratory. This investigation is an example that confirms following statement: if law enforcement gives chief priority to such operations, positive results may be achieved.
