The NY Times wouldn't have printed it without a reliable source. They have a reputation to uphold. I was one of those people giving Raffy a POSSIBLE "benefit of the doubt" when he said he may have taken it and not realised it. Now I think he's full of crap. What, you don't believe he accidentally sat on that needle??? :D Well no. My basis came from an NHL player a few years ago who inadvertantly took Sudafed for a cold and got suspended under the substance abuse program because there apparently is something performance enhancing about Sudafed. I thought maybe he took a suppliment he didn't know was bad and maybe that's why it showed up. I'm an "innocent until proven guilty" kind of guy. But now if the Times is correct and this steroid wasn't in any suppliments, then it was taken intentionally and he's full of crap and I hate him. Thats a false story. Sudafed isn't banned in hockey, which is a good thing, because somewhere around a quarter of pro hockey players take Sudafed before games, since it's an upper. This was a real problem during the last olympics, since Sudafed is a banned substance according to the IOC. Luckily, nobody tested positive.
