radoran Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/flyers--evgeny-medvedev-arrested-on-suspicion-of-dui-190727278.html Police say that the 33-year-old Medvedev was pulled over for a traffic violation and later arrested. No charges have been filed and toxicology reports are not in yet. Medvedev was later released from custody. Doubtful he'll be back with the NHL, much less the Flyers, at this point...

Says toxicology not in yet. Article says Hextall wouldn't comment. In another one, I saw the Flyers saying that Medvedev never really acclimated to life in North America.

hf101 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Update: Medvedev is charged with driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance and us or possession of drug paraphernalia. His blood alcohol content was more than .16 percent - more than double the legal limit for drivers. He was also cited for driving without a license, disregarding traffic lanes, and not using headlights according to various reports. He is set to appear for a preliminary hearing on the charges on June 15, and is automatically enrolled in the NHL / NHLPA substance abuse program.

Howie58 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 What is there to say? He has problems. I have to wonder if deportation is in the offing post-contract. If has no NHL contract.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
