I hadn’t thought of it this way and there’s a damn good chance you’re right. The pharmacies are the same in Colombia. You go and describe or show symptoms and they’ll give you something. I asked for nasal spray once and ended up getting a spray that was just saline. So the next time I had to ask very specifically for congestion. 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. But when you’re at his level, that phone call to the team doctor has to be placed.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

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. If nothing else the fact the punishment for getting caught is only a suspension of games and not banning from the sport is a good sign they don't really care.

[@shmoga]

then why would they suspend the BEST and BRIGHTEST and FUNNEST player in the league? is that a good look for the league? they coulda done NOTHING behind closed doors, but didnt. I think your confusing sports with politics.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

@@shmoga Nah it's pretty much the same with sports. Bans often handed out based on bribes, attitude and well politics as well. People who "play ball" are often treated with soft gloves and allowed to cheat for years. Most the time it's just passed off as a minor suspension, or they throw a Physical trainer under the bus claiming they had no idea it was Steroids etc. Biggest example of this is the likes of Barry Bonds. Dude was on drugs almost his entire career and no one cared till he made the wrong people angry towards the end.

[@Inquisitor6321]

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.

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.

For me, I believe Bonds because he saw how his dad was treated by the baseball writers and had bad relationship with them. As for the stupid argument that his head got bigger, I can tell you from personal experience that Chinese Food have the same effect on someone going into mid life. I miss his homeruns and I hope someone from the Bonds family will play in MLB so I can support him because Bobby and Barry Bonds brought so much utility to me and San Francisco Giants fans!

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.

He says the only thing he drinks besides water is coffee sometimes and a pre-workout when he needs a boost. The point is I hear people doing jail time over these drug tests. How accurate are they?

It DOES make sense, it adds bat speed which adds to your power increasing your HR's. Barry Bonds used the excuse he didn't know what his personal trainer was injecting him with. Every single one of these Dominican players run back home the day the season ends and starts using again to get ready for the next season. Some even invite teammates who not surprisingly seem to be "bigger" at the start of the next year. Steroids are legal in all of these Latin countries so I'm not surprised to hear most players run there to prepare for the next season. The only reason why the MLB stopped testing was COVID, they didn't want to lose fans because their favorite player might get caught and have to be suspended for some time.

Well NSAIDs of any type have negative affects on healing with regards to broken bones, muscles, tendons, & ligaments in the very early healing stages.

There have been some studies with slight positives & others with slight negatives. None of the effects were that significant in any of the studies.

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.

So there I was minding my own business when I hear TNT by AC/DC coming from my pocket. I wonder why is Grandma calling at this hour? I answer. She says help help I've fallen and I cant get up. I have to go help granny right away, I run out the door and start heading to her place and quickly realize that running is not my best idea as she lives 5 miles away. 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. Hooked right up to me, I must have needed a transfusion. I squinted my eyes and I was just a ble to make out the donor information label... B. Bonds... And that's how I tested positive. Not my fault

[@C4lmaria]

Just to clarify: clostebol do be used in a composition with neomicin. While not used to treat ringworm specifically it is used to treat hard-to-heal or ugly eschars/ulcers in general. Neomicin is not an antifungical agent (thus do not work in ringworm, it's made to treat bacteria). The thing is that what's usually keeping lesions from healing instead of getting that ugly is a local secondary bacterial infection/infestation of the lesion. The idea is that the neomicin will drive off the tending bacteria while the anabolic properties of clostebol will stimulate proper muscular and subcutaneous repair in the affected area.

I was surprised Starling Marte would test positive for something as old school as Deca-Durabolin, or even Robinson Cano with something that clears the system faster than Deca like Winstrol. Pre-'05, there was no disincentive and pre-2008 was probably pretty easy to beat based on lack of frequency, particularly in offseason. Hell, Alex Rodriguez got a TUE to use Testosterone in 2007 at the very least. But I'd think players subjected to modern testing would stick to fast acting testosterone instead of old school steroids like Winstrol, let alone Deca in some cases. Also, ridiculous that Ortiz and Pudge get a pass for their steroid use while others don't.

Clostebol is literally used in skin creams in Europe and Central and South America and has been found to produce positive test results from accidental skin exposure from friends or relatives. So with how similar Clobetasol is in name to Clostebol (with Google itself confusing the two) and with both of them being common topical skin treatments I think it’s entirely possible that it was accidental use. And Clostebol isn’t even that great of a PED anyways compared to more conventional steroids. Also time and again studies have shown that PEDs, specifically steroids, actually do very little to improve athletic performance and overall strength and occasionally can actually hinder athletic performance or strength.
