He was able to skate, just no contact. Blood thinners have no effect on exercise tolerance. If his INR (the test to see how long it takes your blood to clot) was too high now and then they may have stopped him from skating for a few days until it came back down, but otherwise it makes zero difference.

If he is out of shape, he doesn't really have a medical excuse
