It was released today that Cherapanov had been doping with PED's (performance enhancing drugs) for several months before his death. He probably would not have been able to dope if he came into the NHL.
Last season Sean Hill of the Minnesota Wild was suspended for a long period of time because his urine samples tested positive for PED's. He was humiliated by the media and had a rough time coming back to the game after his suspension.
Going to Russia could be an incentive to dope. What if next season all the players that left the NHL to play in russia com back to north american and are superhumans. Emery will lead the sens to an 82-0 season. Jagr will score 50 goals in 50 games. Marcel Hossa will come back and outscore his brother. And Radulov will sign a 10 million dollar contract and score 60 goals.
If its true that the KHL offers a breeding ground for NHL players to retreat from the NHL spotlight and play hockey while taking PED's, then the KHL can become the Club Med of the league. Players can take season long vacations, do lots of physical training and lots of PED's.

Cherepanov Dies in KHL Game
Here is footage from his final shift. He is wearing number 7 in white. If you freeeze the video at 1:03, you can see the player sitting next to Jagr with his head down, and Jagr standing up to yell something (maybe to get help.)
there has been a lot of false media reported on this subject so far. I heard some rumours that he had a colllision with JAgr before he went to the bench. I have also heard that he had a 2 on 1 with jagr, that failed. I don't see either of these within the camera footage of his final shift. His agent reported that Cherepanov had no health conditions, yet we are finding out that he had a heart condition. Some sources are saying that Cherepanov was revived in the dressing room for a short while, before he died.
footage on youtube of the medical staff treating the collapsed cherapanov on the bench, is also available. technological access is quite amazing these days. When a sports star dies, it is ineveitable that this footage will end up on youtube. i don't see anything wrong with this, it is just something sports stars and the public have to accept in a technological age. But i don't feel like posting that footage on my website, because its in bad taste.
I find it interesting that Jagr was playing on the same team as Cherapanov. It would have been interesting to see if cherapanov ever came to America. If the talk was true that he was never going to leave because of the transfer agreement, then the KHL has just seen an enormous dent in the future of their league. Cherapanov would have certainly developed into the best player in the KHL, considering his numbers at such a young age. 29 points in 47 games at the age of 17. 12 points in 14 games at the age of 19.
