unsubstantiated of course........ The only one that could have possibly proven it decided to protect his career and keep quiet.
'Rumours' of Messier's off ice diversions are certainly not a secret.
An aquaintance that played junior hockey with a few current and ex nhl players told me of the incident. This guy is now an RCMP officer that coincidentally operates their lie detection equipment. As such, I trust his information. You can decide for yourself if you want to believe it. I think it is very likely to be true.
John was told by a recently retired player, who recieved a tearful phone call from an Islanders player. The victim described the condition he found himself in the morning after Messier helped him back to their shared room. The victim was disoriented and speculated that he may have been drugged. I can't vouch personally, but I imagine there would be some residual sensation long after being sodomized.... not to mention DNA evidence. The three friends talked it through and the victim decided to clam up and not say anything.
It's not my place to name the others in this little drama. However, as a result, Messier's greatness is greatly diminished in my eyes.
I wonder if this gets edited? perhaps banishment? oh well........
