If you know you're likely to be tested, why not take a night off from the nose clams? I don't care to comment on the actual use of drugs, but it seems plain stupid/irresponsible to me to use so close to a potential testing window.

Kuznetsov just comes across as really dumb here. Not only is what you are saying likely correct, but he'd also just been involved in the hotel scandal.
I do think this will taint his career. Kuznetsov's stats are on the brink of bringing him star power during negotiations. This kind of behaviour is likely to cost him a major contract. For example, I see it unlikely that a team offers him an 8 year x 10 mil contract anymore. Instead he's likely to sign for 20 million less due to his off ice issues.
He's an idiot.
