A new book by retired hockey player Georges Laraque suggests the NHL has a problem with performance-enhancing drugs.
Laraque says in the book that he knew a lot of players -- both talented players and tough guys -- who used steroids while he was on the ice.
He says players used different drugs to get stronger and to stop feeling the pain.
Laraque says the league began to tackle the problem in his final years in the league by setting clear rules against performance-enhancing drugs.
But he says that hockey now needs to take action against human growth hormone that players have started using in recent years.
I don't know what I find more suprising; that Laraque wrote a book or that there are supposedly a large number of players in the league using PED's.
I'm kinda leaning towards Laraque writing a book though because I can see the clear benifits of using steriods in the NHL.
So are you guys suprised by his claims?
