Some shocking news came out of Russia on Monday afternoon regarding the tragedy of former New York Rangers 2008 highly touted prospect Alexei Cherepanov.
The Russian Federal Investigative Committee concluded after studying his urine and blood tests that this dynamic scorer who tragically died last October 13 while playing in the Russian Continental Hockey League had performance-enhancing drugs in his system.
“A row of gross violations were committed by the medical brigade helping Alexei Cherepanov,” said a statement from the Committee which also concluded that he had a heart condition called myocarditis. The Committee also believed strongly that with this condition, which limits blood supply to the heart, Cherepanov shouldn’t have been allowed to play professional hockey. Also according to the Committee, Cherepanov’s former Russian team might be facing some legal trouble for this tragedy.
“Doctors arrived on the scene a full 12 minutes after Cherepanov collapsed, and the battery on the defibrillator used to attempt to shock Cherepanov’s heart back to life was drained,” the Committee said.
More details will be given out in the coming weeks.
