spndnchz Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 Update: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news?slug=ap-c...p&type=lgns New York Rangers prospect Alexei Cherepanov took performance-enhancing drugs for several months before he died during a Russian league game in October, investigators said Monday. The committee said the club?s medical team may carry legal liability, contending a ?row of gross violations was committed by the medical brigade? helping Cherepanov. ?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. Prosecutors this month accused the club?s director of negligence. Mikhail Denisov has since been fired, and Monday?s statement did not mention him.
