Russian Kuznetsov was sent to undergo a program to help NHL players
Russian Washington Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov was sent to undergo a program to assist players in the National Hockey League (NHL). This is reported on the organization’s website.
This program exists to provide psychological support to hockey players experiencing problems, in particular with alcohol, drugs and gambling. It is noted that the athlete will be able to return to performances only after completing the program.
In September 2019, Kuznetsov was disqualified for using cocaine. The NHL suspended him for three matches, and the International Hockey Federation (IIHF) suspended him from participating in international competitions and Kontinental Hockey League matches for four years.
Kuznetsov has been playing for Washington since 2014. Together with the club, he won the Stanley Cup in 2018.
