I've heard pretty solid stories about a bad but overpaid player being a coke user, but, from the same source, rumours about very good players on the same team also using coke. So that team could never terminate the "bad" player.

Chung got arrest for coke usage from his house in New Hampshire.
Criminal records are not great for border crossings.
Like all crimes, it doesn't have significant ramifications until you are caught.
Try getting across the USA border with a cocaine conviction.
If a team wants to dump a poor performer bad contract that is a regular coke user does not seem to be that hard of a setup to get them caught. How did Mike Richards get caught at the border?
Really bad for growing the game if the NHLPA comes out and says that a solid portion of their association is using a schedule 1 narcotic.
