SOCHI, Russia — Nicklas Backstrom, a player for the Washington Capitals in the N.H.L. who represented Sweden in its five victories on the way to the Olympic gold medal game, failed a drug test at the Sochi Games. He was removed from Sweden’s lineup Sunday before the final, which Canada won, 3-0.
Backstrom, 26, had tested positive for pseudoephedrine, a substance found in an allergy medication he has taken for seven years.
