Nazarov Sounds Like Pound
Andrei Nazarov, the former Russian NHL enforcer (still Russian, I’ll point out), is claiming almost all NHL tough guys, and well, other guys for that matter, are on steroids.
sports.ru has the story. I used a translation tool to help me get past the Russian. I used the same paragraph breakup you see in the story, except for the big one, which I split up for ease of translation.
?????? ???????, ???????????? ?????????? “???????????” ? ??????? ???, ? ????? ??????? ?????? ?????????? ? ?????????? ????? ??????? ?????????? ? ??????? ? ????.
Andrey Nazarov, unique Russian “policeman” in history of NHL, in the end of the last week declared end of the career has expressed a dope in league.
“? ?????? ? ??? 15 ???????, ?, ?? ???? ???????????, 99 ????????? “???????????” ??? ????? ?? ?????????. ??? ?????? ???????? ??????? ??????: ? ???? ???? ?????????? ???????, ???? ???????, ?? ??? ?????. ?????? ??? ????? ????? ??????? ? ??????? ??????????? ??????????. ?? ???? ???????, ?? ??????????? ?????????? ????? ??????????? ??????? ????.
” I have lead to NHL of 15 seasons, and, on my supervision, 99 percent of “policemen” there sit on steroidah. It is an eternal problem of young fighters: you have a boxing technics, there is an energy, but there is no weight. The necessary weight is the most easier for typing by means of special preparations. By my estimations, on special preparations the majority of players of league sits.
? ??, ??? ????? ?? ?????????? ?? ???????, ?? ?????? ???????? ???????? ?????????. ??????? ?????? ?? ?????????? ??????????? ?????????? ???. ???????? ?? ?????? ?????? ?? ??????-?????? ???? ??????? ???????? ?? ?????? ????. ? ?????????? ?? ???????-??? ?????? ?? ??? “???” ????? “?????” ???????????, ? ??? ??????? ? ???????? ???????”, - ?????? ???????.
And that nobody comes across on a dope, should not cause any surprise. I shall result a case from last regular championship of NHL. Approximately four months prior to a dope-tests to all players have informed their exact date. As a result for one and a half-two month about one day “iks” reception of “chemistry” has stopped, and all have approached to check pure “, - Nazarov has told.
?? ?????? ? ???, ??? ??????? ?????????? ? ??? “???”, ??????? ???????: “?? ??? ??????. ??? ??????????? ?? ???? ??????? - ?? ?????????? ?????? ?? ??????? ???????”.
Nazarov has answered a question on the one who informed hockey players on day “iks”: ” Yes everybody. It occured at all levels - from managers of clubs up to agents of players “.
????? ??????? ?????? ?????????: “?????? ???????? ??????? ? ??? - ??? ?????? ????? ????????. ?????? ?????? ???? ???? ????????? ????? ? ? ???, ??? ????? ? ?????? ??????? ?????? ?????, ? ??????, ? ??????? ???????? ?????? ??? ?? ?????????. ??? ????? ?? ?????????? ???????????, ????????, ????? ???????”.
Also Nazarov has told the following: ” In general the problem of a dope in NHL is only a part of an iceberg. Many players of this league perfectly know and that places in the first parts of the club so, and the high salary simply so do not get. That at times they should be won, excuse, through bed “.
Should the NHL and/or its fans take Nazarov at face value? Many NHL players not only open up to European publications, but feel free to say anything at all, and Nazarov is supposedly bitter about being pushed out of the league quickly. Things like that do need to be taken into consideration. That, and I don’t know the reputation of sports.ru. If someone does, please chime in.
Comments:
Nazarov out of all people comes out and says this. I find this very interesting and I can see this turning into an MLB type thing where every story in the news about baseball revolves around steroids.
I heard that TSN had a story about this. And he told names like Worrell and Probert were among the people using ‘roids.Posted by steg1989 on Jul 18, 2006 at 01:43 AM
