That was in response to Ice's hypothetical situation about a team wanting to terminate a contract for failing the rehab program.
Anyways the same document I linked, says that any drug related arrest will automatically enter a player into the NHL's rehab program.
Also the last update from the RCMP as of a few days ago was that Richards has not been charged. It is even unclear that he was arrested. According to the official release he was "detained" for 4 hours at the border crossing then let go.
