Interesting Tidbit

[omicron]

I was reading an article about a trade of goalies in the NHL. Colorado and Montreal swapped goalies Wednesday with Jose Theodore heading to the Avalanche in exchange for David Aebischer.

No big deal, but reading deeper into the article, it mentions that Theodore was going to be on the Canadian national team but tested positive for a drug that can be used to mask steroid use. Canadiens team doctor David Mulder said the prescription drug, Propecia, was being used to promote hair growth.

Just to clarify...

It wasn't the hair tonic that kept Theodore off the Olympic squad. Yeah, he was mentioned as a potential starter, but that was way back during the summer selection camp and months before he eliminated himself from consideration by playing lousy all season. Juiced or not, he wasn't good enough to make the team.

And, with this guy now watching pucks go by in Denver the Avalanche aren't good enough to win the Stanley Cup.
