The team said it's not a criminal matter, and I tend to believe them on that point. So, it seems he did something that is legal, but wildly against team rules, and is being fired for it. The other players that have been asked have said they don't know what's going on, so it's likely not a locker room fight or something like that.
If it were drugs, you'd think he'd go into the player assistance program, unless he refused.
My guess, either drugs, or he did sleep with someone he shouldn't have, vehement objections to the contrary.
They also said it involves one team employee. And they didn't say it's not a criminal matter, they were asked if it was and replied "it's a workplace issue".
I'm guessing something like verbally or physically abusing a team employee. It was said it was "disgusting".
I thought the "disgusting" comment was referring to the fact that there were rumors about Bedard's mother - I took it as "it's disgusting that people make up these rumors".
Verbally abusing, I can see. Physically would be a legal matter, you'd think.
Edit: My wife just sent me this Yahoo article that implies it was an event involving a team employee. Makes me wonder if he said something racist or homophobic or something like that!
This is the exact quote:
It seems to me he evaded the question. He didn't say yes or no. He just said something else that the question didn't ask.
