Ruzicka maybe but I doubt it. You would have to think if he was in consideration he would have been playing/practicing with the men's national team this summer. He wasn't. I haven't seen any buzz about him being an Olympic potential

Also keep in mind that countries needed to provide the IOC with a large list of candidates for PED testing months ahead (IIRC some time in July) of the games. So recent play might not even matter if a player was already left off the PED testing lists.
