Gusev denied reports that he was suspended from SKA matches due to problems with alcohol
St. Petersburg SKA forward Nikita Gusev commented on the information about the suspension from matches due to alcohol problems. His words are quoted by Sport-Express.
Gusev denied reports that this was the reason for missing the games. “Reporters can write whatever they want. I do not forbid anyone to do this. It was annoying, to say the least. I didn’t think that this could be in the press, ”he added.
On April 7, Match TV reported that Gusev was suspended from the team’s matches in the playoffs of the Continental Hockey League (KHL) due to alcohol addiction. It was noted that for this reason, the striker also missed several games of the Russian national hockey team during the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing.
Gusev is the 2018 Olympic champion and winner of the Gagarin Cup with SKA. The athlete returned to the St. Petersburg team in 2021 after spending two seasons in the National Hockey League, playing for the New Jersey Devils and Florida Panthers.
