Grant Fuhr had a 75-minute hearing into his admissions of substance abuse, but NHL President John Ziegler said he did not know when a decision on whether to discipline the Edmonton Oilers’ goaltender would be announced.

The Edmonton Journal, quoting several sources, including Fuhr’s ex-wife, reported on Aug. 31 that Fuhr, who faces a possible lifetime ban, has abused cocaine since about 1983. The newspaper said Fuhr failed a private drug test and spent two weeks in a Florida treatment center in August, 1989. Fuhr acknowledged that he had abused “a substance” since 1983 or ’84.

Ziegler suspended Fuhr after the newspaper ran its story.
