Russian Olympic player Zaripov banned for doping

DANIS Zaripov, who played for Russia at the 2010 Olympics, is among three Kontinental Hockey League players banned for doping.

The league said yesterday that Zaripov tested positive during the 2016-17 season for unnamed substances, including a stimulant and a banned diuretic, or masking agent. The KHL said Zaripov has been banned by the International Ice Hockey Federation until May 2019. The 36-year-old left wing was long considered one of the best players outside the NHL, winning the IIHF world championship three times with Russia. The KHL also said that the IIHF had banned Canadian defenseman Derek Smith until September 2018 for a failed test, and Russian defenseman Andrei Konev until September for using stimulants.
