Each team has a team doctor, there is a complete list of banned substances from the IOC, its a no brainer Backstrom had double the allowed amount in his system, Like he didnt know what he was doing..It may or may not be a big deal but him and the Swedish team doctors should have known better. I do feel bad for him but rules is rules..
Also as far as doubting our team Canada, that's what this forum is for. Discussion, we all have opinions.. Some are right and some are wrong..Thats what makes this place so awesome..Lets face it, if we ALL were as hockey smart as we think we All are, we would be making big bucks in the sport..So unless your team Canada Brass or an AHL NHL coach its all just armchair sporting..
