The kid that died from heart failure earlier in the hockey year, Alexei Cherepanov, has now been confirmed to have been found blood doping. The final word, from Hockey New’s The Canadian Press:
Russia’s federal Investigative Committee said a chemical analysis of the samples allowed experts to conclude “that for several months Alexei Cherepanov engaged in blood doping.” There was no elaboration, and a spokeswoman at the committee refused to comment further.
The statement also said Cherepanov in his final year suffered from myocarditis, a condition where not enough blood gets to the heart, and should not have been playing professional hockey.
The club’s medical team might carry legal liability in the episode, the statement added.
“A row of gross violations was committed by the medical brigade helping A. Cherepanov,” the statement said. Among them, doctors arrived on the scene a full 12 minutes after Cherepanov collapsed, and the battery on the defibrillator to attempt shock Cherepanov’s heart back into life was drained, the statement said.
Nineteen-year-old Alexei Cherepanov died this afternoon (evening in Moscow) after accidentally colliding into teammate Jaromir Jagr. Cherepanov skated to the bench, had a seat, leaned back, and passed out. The medics couldn’t revive him at the ice nor at the hospital. Drafted by the Rangers in the 2007 first round — 17th overall pick! — the kid was playing in the KHL (Kontinental Hockey League) rather than be at the Ranger prospect camp since the KHL season begins earlier. he was due to begin Rangers training next season. It’s been updated within the last few hours that the collision had nothing to do with the cardiac arrest.

This video is slightly over a half hour long. This video compiles as many crashes, mess-ups, faceplants, screwups, hockey fights, and near-death bashes as this mysterious person could find. Your Daily Media has a stamp on it, but I found it on Two Eight Nine, which is With Leather, which is 289. I can’t look away. You’ll want to always wear a helmet, not only on a motorcycle, but while you do anything else. I’m digging the music.
Really that’s all i have to say. I’m excited to see who gets who and who gets made fun of. Since the Pens were number two this season, something tells me we won’t get the top picks. And that’s okay. Because we rock.
