Suspended 20 games and will forfeit over 350K in salary. This is the first NHL player that I can think of that's failed PED testing...

In the article that you link to... "Horcoff is the fourth player suspended under the NHL/NHLPA policy, following Ashton, New York Islanders defenceman Sean Hill in 2007 and Buffalo forward Zenon Konopka in 2014."

Yes, but were the others substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, etc.) or PED's?

All 4 were suspended under the performance enhancing substances program. Which is why they are mentioned in the article.

They specifically mention Ashton was positive for clenbuterol, sometimes used for weight loss.
