    Yeah I saw this. Unfortunate and hopefully just a mistake with cold medication perhaps...

    Nothing will come out of this except embarrassment for Bäckström.

    They said he had a migrane. Any chance the meds he was taking for his headaches are considered "banned"??

    His grandmother was right ... he DID make a fool of himself before all was said and done.

    To flip this around, several "banned substances" can cause migraines as side effects.

    I'm inclined to think one of the best players in the world, playing in the Olympic tournament would be smarter than to intentionally take "banned" substances in order to juice his way to a Gold Medal. Seems kinda low upside / huge downside to me; I, for one, think the guy is probably a lot smarter than to juice himself on purpose in order to get an advantage. Seems like a dumb move from a very intelligent hockey player.

    My guess is that he had a migraine, took his prescribed meds for it and that thumped him. Which is just so totally wrong in my mind if that is the case. We shall see.

    This is what I'm thinking; which is utter horse**** and I would be so mad if I were Backstrom.

    You completely missed the sarcasm in my post. I even included a smiley to help people along...

    Oh, I know you were just raising it as a possibility (albeit somewhat cheeky, perhaps); I just wanted to make clear how ludicrous that possibility actually is, in my humble opinion.

    Cheers.

    He took Claritin, probably for allergies. You'd think a team official would have been on top of that though. Sucks for him.

    I was talking with my wife, who gets severe migraines... She said that most migraine meds have steroids in them, and that hers does.

    Claritin ? Really? Oh, my.
