D-13 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 CTV NEWS CTV.ca News Staff Jose Theodore, the goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens, has tested positive for propecia, a banned substance. Theodore has been taking propecia through a medication used to grow hair. Propecia has a "masking effect" which can cover up the presence of steroids in the body, said Dr. David Mulder, the doctor for the Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens' team physician announced the results of a test Thursday night. Theodore, goaltender for the Habs since he was drafted into the NHL in 1994, is a longtime fan favourite. He's been having a bad season, though, and last week TSN's hockey commentator Bob McKenzie wrote that "he is shattered man right now. He always carried himself with supreme confidence bordering on cockiness, and those who know him say it's gone." In late 2004 Theodore's father and half-brother pleaded guilty to charges of loansharking and possession of a restricted weapon. In February of 2005, Ted Theodore, 71, was given a $30,000 fine, but no jail time. More to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphseeker Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I think Theodore has over-stayed his welcome - there has been trade rumors ever since their slide in december and january. Can't be good for the team - Gainey needs to trade now - Cristobal Huet has proven himself enough. Let Jose go for a top notch defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
