This is making more sense now, although not fully clear. When you are in the NHL/NHLPA substance abuse program it is totally confidential. If he was in it, there would be restrictions set for him including posession of said drugs. He may have been in that program for awhile and the Kings were supporting him through it hence no buy out.
The reason so many news outlets would not release the details was assumed that they did not want to lose accredidation with the NHL in releasing information that could be seen as confidential and linked to privacy laws. Especially before charges were filed. If filed that would be public record. Looks like RCMP investigation is around the legitimacy of the prescription.
