Compensating for something - Russians doping en masse

With recent events surfacing in torunaments around the world, from the olympics, fifa, and most likely many more to come, the sports world is finally starting to raise an eyebrow towards the russian players. With the art of doping becoming what would seem second nature for the country and it's athletes, many are starting to wonder if all their atheletes at all professional levels should start to be tested on a regular basis.

Some of the big names starting to surface around the SHL are coming under some flak for their recent successes and burst in productivity. After seasons of being dubbed a goon, the star Russian winger Pietra Volkova has suddenly become a scoring power house. Mixed with fellow team mate Zach Evans (who was born in the USA before transfering to Russia) who has always had an overly aggessive nature to his game paired with above average performances and you start to see some trends. It doesn't stop there though. More and more of their old and current roster are coming under fire. Viatcheslav Orlovs un even attitude with the media and league has always been something of question, and as he heads closer to retirement yet remains suspicious high energy for his age/ play style many are thinking something is keeping the tank running.

Even their younger players are starting to get some attention their way with the likes of Yuri Boyka Jr. being caught recently with rather suspicious goods trying to be transported across international borders.

Some exclusive photos has surfaced to fuel the fire league wide which we have included below.







I think the head office maybe should start to ask some questions about their russian imports and if they truly are just everyday athletes or are on the dope train like the rest of the country's "TOP" atheletes. The sad part of it all? They still aren't winning at the international level even with the boosts. We will keep an eye on this developing event.
