NHLPA Statement Regarding Jose Theodore

[VodkaFish]

TORONTO – This evening, NHLPA Executive Director Ted Saskin issued the following statement regarding Jose Theodore:

“It is very clear that Jose Theodore is taking Propecia for the sole purpose of treating hair loss. Since Propecia is a prescription product that is banned as a masking agent but can be approved in situations where it is prescribed for hair restoration purposes, players may apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).

Prior to the NHL/NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program commencing, Jose applied for a TUE in order to continue to use a medication that he has taken for many years, and the Program Committee approved this application. The NHLPA will fully support Jose as he goes through the necessary administrative process with the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada to clear up this matter.”

It is very clear that Jose Theodore is taking Propecia for the sole purpose of treating hair loss.

So the league just made an announcement that Jose Theodore is going bald? He must be psyched about that...

aaaawwwww, is pretty boy waking up in the morning with hair all over his pillow????

[NewHawk]

What's wrong with going/being bald?
Oh well, at least he applied for the exemption and has a legit excuse instead of saying something like I didn't know what it was.

[Ciccarelli]

The guy has more hair then a lot of hockeyplayers and he takes Propecia?

[canuck2]

He took the drug to preserve those beautiful locks of his.

He should focus more on saving shots then his pretty head of hair.

He has some long hair, now if it was Tie Domi on the hair loss treatment I would understand...

[The DZA]

He also said that he has been using this stuff for 8 or 9 years. How old is Theodore??? 27???? That would mean this guy has been using the stuff since he was a teenager!!! What kind of conceded *ss is worrying about baldness at that age?!?!? Whatever.
