Now Spanish is more native to Tatis than me, but it’s quite easy to believe he walked into a pharmacy showed them his neck and they gave him a spray. The biggest error is not telling the team doctor. I can’t put myself in his millionaire shoes, but I’m an idiot guy too, I could easily see myself getting a spray and using it without thinking twice, because who would think that a skin spray would contain steroids.

There's a huge punchline to this story though, one that no one seems to know: When they tried to explain his innocence, Tatis, Mama Tatis & Papa Tatis all totally mixed up the name of the PED with a very different topical medication for rashes. The PED he popped for was *Clostebol*, a gnarly PED - big boost to your power, speeds up recovery, and like that. But there's no Clostebol for rashes, doesn't exist. The Tatis family all said that because they thought it was the same thing - Clostebol - but sadly, no. The rash cream is a totally different steroid called *Clobetasol*. As steroids go it's more like hydrocortisone and won't give you a speck of enhancement. It's used all over the world for exactly the kind of rash Tatis had on his neck.

It's laughable that other players talk trash and threaten. They've either used or know damn well that a teammate of theirs does. As explained in the video, anabolics (and HGH) are manufactured in ways that make them nearly impossible to detect now. These things never went away, they just got better. There are more dramatic, probably enhanced body transformations now than there were in the late 90s/early 00's. The difference? MANY over the counter supplements DID contain anabolics back then - this is widely known by many and has been reported on. We also can't forget that Tom House let us in on the fact that steroids have been popular in MLB since the 60s. Anecdotally, my grandfather was a very serious bodybuilder in the 60s and didn't encounter steroids until he was in the minor leagues.

I still think it was a poor choice to vilify the 'steroid era players' of the 90's and early 2000's as much as the media and some fans did considering the history of it in the sport (as well as other sporting leagues). If a player gets caught with a banned substance in their system, suspend them, and move on. The MLB has never fully recovered attendance-wise, viewership-wise, and their reputation since that era. Baseball fans have a bad habit of romanticizing the game so much in their head on how it should be played and how it 'use to be', but then forget there was weird and nutty shit happening in every era of the sport that doesn't make any decade more or less moral than the other

Performance enhancers are extremely common in all professional sports, it has never gone away. It's pretty common with serious athletes starting in high school. Even the testing protocols from the different leagues are made extremely lenient (intentionally), to where as you would have to mess up pretty badly to get caught. If you have ever played in a major professional sport or worked for one of the teams, you would get a better picture of the reality. Between the MLB, NBA, and NFL - I would say about 98% are enhancing in one way or another that would technically be against the rules (but most could still pass the testing). Let's be honest - it's all about the money to the teams and athletes. The better the athletic output, the more money to be made. Drug testing is strictly to keep the every day fan believing everything is being done completely naturally. You can't just deny enhancers are being used, it's pretty obvious. But you can't tell the truth, you don't want to inspire generations of youth to take dangerous substances. Definitely a conundrum.

Testing really doesn't matter. The lack testing probably would make it easier to get caught because juicers might get lax in their usage and not take the precautions to not test positive. Then they suddenly get tested after all the no-testing. They'd be like "oh shit! I didn't take the diuretic." The test can be passed easily if you take an organic diuretic. (Organic diuretic is undetectable.) The increase flow of urine, dilutes the urine. The way testing is done is only a urine test initially. If you test negative for banned substances, there is no more testing. IT'S THAT SIMPLE! With this system of testing and the player is using an organic diuretic, they only way you can get caught is if you are tested right after dosing.

The problem with baseball, as with many other sports is the people "in charge" of testing have zero incentive to find anything. The League only cares about viewership and thus did nothing when drugs were allowing players to hit more runs, get more bases and basically make a more exciting game.

I love baseball, something about this sport that just draws me to it more then other team sports. But the cheating is just terrible. From steroids to sign stealing it’s bad. And what’s worse is that the mlb is most likely hiding most of it. For instance the Astros, loved watching them in 2017 then the sign stealing happened and it really cast a shadow over them. But to think that they were the only team using this is naive. Bc if the small Astros were doing it the big Yankees and dodgers with a lot of pressure to win were most likely doing it and that’s the shitty thing about the mlb they’re covering it up. Use a team and a couple players as a scape goat instead of coming clean.

[@billcosby668]

So many people try to pass off the Astros sign stealing and say to move on, it was 5 years ago, yada yada. I hate it. It’s history. It’s a complete black stain on the best sport in the world. It is history. It is shown so it’s never forgotten, and to never forgive MLB for such little action. That franchise is forever tainted and will live on forever

[@MoreBuffMoreMuff]

@@billcosby668 wrong. You completely missed the point of what you're responding to. The Astros absolutely were not the only team to cheat. That same season, the MLB covered up the Apple Watch cheating by the Red Sox and Yankees. The MLB scapegoats the average popularity Astros and did nothing to the Sox and Yankees. When I think cheater I immediately think of steroid users like David Ortiz who still hasn't explained his failed test, Ryan Braun who lied and ruined a guys life and Barry Bonds, who never failed a test but miraculously hit 70 bombs at 39 years old and had his head grow to a size 9. Insane. The Astros hit a trashcan, bro. Nobody cares 5 years later. But everyone still hates a roid cheat.

They should adopt the Pro cycling testing protocols. When not at an event, those cyclists can be tested on 2 hours notice any day of the year. They have to provide their whereabouts for everyday of the year in advance and there is a notification window of change in location - they can't change locations last minute. During events, they can get tested anytime. They have even woken competitors up at 6am for testing during the Tour de France. Procyclists are not unionized, so I am guessing that's what keeps testing standards more in player's favor in the American pro sports.

@@meme6335 Welcome to the age of scored opinions. Upvote and Downvote, the single greatest mistake of the internet age is this simple function. Opinions no longer needed to be "defended" no longer needed to even be correct, they just needed to be popular. Ever since its inception sites like Twitter, Facebook, KZbin, Reddit, etc, become echo-chambers for the most controversial topics. To the point that critical thought may have slowed to a pure crawl. Before the idea of scored opinions took hold, people would hesitate to add input into a discussion if they weren't well-versed in the subject matter, nobody wants to look stupid. Now it doesn't matter, there's an actual comment just above this one where someone literally says: "It's almost like the ringworm medication doesn't have PEDs in it. It has a substance that sound similar, but is different and would not trigger the test to show positive. Tatis' made up one of the worst excuses ever." Everyone who watched the actual video would clearly know that this is unlikely to be true, and that this commenter clearly didn't try to watch the video or is trying to push a false narrative. Who knows? But the point is that they STILL wanted to put that comment out there, no self-disciplining mentality would ever try to assert information into a topic of discussion ESPECIALLY when that very point was already refuted by the very argument being presented in the video. Upvoting and Downvoting... truly one of the most sinister adaptations of human sociology.

Athletes have been taking steroids since the early 1900s. Mainly straight testosterone. It’s a problem leagues don’t want to crack down on because it makes games more excited but they have to fake like they actually care about stopping it. It makes games more excited but is overall detrimental to the sport and the people that want to become professionals. Many abuse these substances and die at a young age. It’s sad and I really wish testing in major league sports was government regulated. It’s the only way to ensure testing is done properly. I hate government regulation in many forms but this is one of the few times I think it’s necessary otherwise the problem will never go away

This whole situation reminds me of the late great Australian cricket star, Shane Warne, getting banned for a year from cricket in 2003 for taking a diuretic, which could be used as a masking agent for other PEDs...hence why, at the time, it was on the banned list. Subsequently, it was shown that what he took wasn't strong enough to mask any steroids or anything else...so it was taken off the banned list. He told the authorities he got it from his mother, who told him it helped with fluid retention. He accepted the ban at the hearing saying that although the substance wasn't technically a PED, he should have known better and checked with the team doctor that what he was about to take was on the ban list. Same with Tatis Jr here. If his story is true, he should have checked with the team doctor that what he was taking was legit. And the ban is punishment for not checking, assuming that he's not lying. If he is lying and he was taking PEDs then, that's a different story.

I try to order an uber but nobody is available. I call for a cab but they don't run to the area. So I decided to throw up my thumb and see what took. Thats when a black van pulled up beside me. Before I knew what was happening they had me in the back with a bag over my head. I tried to ask where they were taking me and they struck me over the head knocking me out cold. When I woke up I was in a hospital in Mexico and I had no idea what was going on. A doctor came over and explained that they found me outside the doors in bad shape and had fixed me up. I asked for a phone to call my family and tell them I was ok and to check in on grandma and he left to get me a phone. That's when I saw it out of the corner of my eye. A bag of blood.
