This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Dryden McKay to serve(maybe unfair)6 month doping suspension by DakotaDomer

I struggled with the headline here because I read the Grand Forks Herald story and Dryden certainly makes a compelling case and the newspaper partially supports his story.

Anyways I suggest people go read for themselves about how the Hobey Baker Winner is now serving a 6 month suspension after the season is over rather than 2 months ago. I am default skeptical about all things doling but damn…sure seems like he might be right.

I also agree with the position that you are responsible for whatever goes into your body. I am fairly biased against supplements companies though and am happy to see their BS get exposed whenever possible.
