NHL drug policy
Highlights of the NHL's Performance Enhancing Substances Program, which was jointly negotiated with the NHL Players' Assn. and is administered by a joint Program Committee:
•The NHL and NHLPA maintain a list of prohibited substances. Changes to the list can be made only as negotiated by the NHL and the NHLPA. There is no retesting of samples based on substances added to the prohibited substances list after the time of the original testing.
•Any form of substance abuse for drugs of abuse and behavioral and domestic issues requiring employee assistance will be monitored through the NHL/NHLPA for Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health.
