Worth reading the replies to the first Tweet with more information from the same account:

“Avangard” in a statement have called it “a blatant lie” stating that team doctor and Hartley never permitted RUSADA from running any tests. While there are claims that the player snuck away so that he wouldn’t have to be tested.
Hartley is now with team Latvia preparing for the World Championships. It’s unclear if he’ll be able to lead the team in Slovakia.
KHL, Russian Hockey Federation as well as IIHF and other parties have been notified about the situation. Avangard has also submitted a letter to league stating that team has always complied with any doping procedures and it’s all probably “just an misunderstanding”.
Hartley will continue his duties at all capacities until a complaint is officially filled.
