Tatis Jr Suspended 80 games

[Lettuce]

Tried to treat ringworm….medication included a band substance.

This is sad for two reasons:

1. MLB’s top players are still using PED’s…what’s this say about the sport?

2. What the 17 is a millionaire doing catching ring worms?

Athletes Foot is a form of ringworm, plenty of people have it, and it is contagious and is transmitted by contact with others or from places they touch, step, sit. Floors, toilets, sink handles.

Yeah. Ringworm is more prevalent than people think. Its not just from petting stray cats. Like staph, it can spread like wildfire through a gym setting.

I don’t follow baseball closely. clostebol may be in ringworm medication but I think I would have come up with a better lie. I sure MLB makes it more than obvious which substance to take to cure anything.

Players should be allowed to take PEDs. The home run era with Bonds, McGuire, and Sosa was awesome.

It’s still happening today.

Has there ever been a positive PED test that wasn’t from tainted supplements? **

 

[campshelbydog842003]

It’s still happening today.

Yea but they get suspended for it if they get caught. I don’t believe they should.

Your post is "sad for two reasons" . The word is "banned" substance (not band) and "ring worms" as others have said are not actual worms. "Band" substances are what Steven Tyler, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix et al experimented with**

Yeah. Ringworm is more prevalent than people think. Its not just from petting stray cats. Like staph, it can spread like wildfire through a gym setting.

Here's the thing....the drug he tested positive for is clostebal, which is not prescribed for topical ailments like ringworm. Now, another drug, clobetasol, is prescribed for that.

So Tatis told a horrible lie and either he or someone from his camp didn't think anyone would be smart enough to make the distinction.

Testing positive is a bad look. The cover up story makes it worse.

It seems he also tested positive for dyslexia.

Tatis has limitless medical resources available to him to ensure he doesn’t end up with a MLB designated PED in his system.

Either way, he’s to blame.

Exactly. If he's telling the truth, he should have gone to a team doctor who would have surely made sure not to give him a banned substance.

At best, he was extremely careless and nothing more. It's a mistake you just can't make at this level.

 

[pmack3641]

As a Dodger fan screw him, as a fan I’ve got no sympathy for him. He makes a zillion dollars a year and isn’t smart enough to stay off a motor bike (reason he was on ir) and take peds.

 

[Herbert Nenninger]

Clobetasol is a high potency steroid cream. But streroid creams aren’t even indicated for ringworm. They will ‘calm’ the fungus, but they help maintain a hospitable environment that keeps it from resolving. So he’s either full of BS or his doc is.

Used to be not uncommon for football players to get it in our jr high and high school. Guessing having old, ratty equipment that was reused year after year probably made it harder to keep them sterile.

Baseball needs to relax these rules on treatments for other things. Baseball players, should have to submit an active health issue and the applied treatment to MLB for review. Situations like this should not happen anymore in today's world. Seriously. If he had gone to the MLB and stated that he had ringworms or athletes foot, etc and the prescribed medication could have been approved. He could have then taken it and addressed the issue. As long as he took it as prescribed, no one should have to site out 80 games, nor should they have their image tainted in the court of public opinion over it.

Seriously, have a protocol on declaring your issue, protocol on getting the medication approved. Boom boom, no more of this crap.
