Kuznetsov also got busted in that video of him in Vegas, surrounded by cocaine and random women (likely escorts):

He was suspended by the NHL for the IIHF incident too (for 3 games):

Pretty dumb of Kuznetsov to get caught. Cocaine only stays detectable in your system for a couple of days, which means he was using the drug within a couple of days prior to when he knew he had a good chance of getting tested. It could indicate he has a larger problem. He did undergo drug counselling after the suspensions.
