Do you see NHL players sitting the Olympics out because of safety concerns.

# 3 Amaury, We didn’t get a chance to talk to you about the suspension of Seattle Mariners pitcher Hector Santiago. As you know Santiago had his hat, hair, jersey and belt check and his glove was found to have a foreign substance on it and was confiscated. Santiago was unceremoniously suspended. Santiago told the umpires it was sweat and rosin.
