Substance Abuse Group Comments on Recent NHL Player Suspension
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 17, 2014 -- As reported by Fox News in their article Sabres F Konopka Suspended 20 Games (5/15), the forward for the Canadian hockey team The Sabres, Zenon Konopka, has violated the rules of the substance abuse policy for the team. As a result of the violation, Konopka will now have to attend a program for substance abuse treatment and will not be able to play for 20 games. Konopka, who has since apologized and taken responsibilities for his action, claims that he took an over-the-counter product that had a substance in it that was deemed a violation by the National Hockey League. Konopka also noted that he would like his younger fans to learn from his mistakes.
“Young kids look up to athletes as role models,” said the head of the Substance Abuse Group, an organization that runs several pro-recovery websites. “When they see their favorite athlete acting out or doing drugs, they think it's okay. We are happy that Zenon Konopka has considered this and now wants to ensure that he has not sent the wrong message to any kids who might look up to him.”
One of the websites ran by the Substance Abuse Group is Substance-Abuse-Help.com.
