EDMONTON, Canada — Goaltender Grant Fuhr of the Edmonton Oilers used cocaine for about seven years, but says he has been drug-free since spending two weeks in a substance-abuse center last summer, according to the Edmonton Journal.

The paper reported Friday that Fuhr at first had lied to Oiler General Manager Glen Sather--who had confronted him several times about possible substance abuse--saying, “It’s not something you tell your boss.”

According to the newspaper, Sather confirmed that Fuhr had tested positive in a private test former agent Rich Winter pressed him to take and was treated for cocaine abuse at the Straight Center in St. Petersburg, Fla.
