Hockey is no exception and the importance of a clean sport has never been more crucial to the integrity and success of the sport. Hockey players at every level should be aware of the risks of taking banned substances, whether it be accidentally, intentionally or on a recreational basis. Check the WADA list of banned substances for the chemical names of illegalised drugs.
