Fernando Tatis Jr., shortstop, and outfielder for the San Diego Padres, tested positive recently for taking steroids. He then got banned from Major League Baseball for 80 games.

Tatis Jr. started his MLB career in the year 2020 with the Padres, and since then, he has won the Silver Slugger award and also became an All-Star in 2021. It is heartening to see such a bright player do such a thing.

However, Tatis Jr has said that he accidentally took a medication that contained the banned substance. His father, Tatis Sr, said something that contradicted what his son had to say. Therefore, the whole explanation seems to be like a web of lies for everyone to accept.

How did Fernando Tatis Jr’s father contradict his son’s reason for taking steroids?

Major League Baseball released a report on August 13 that Tatis Jr. tested positive for Clostebol, an anabolic steroid. Following this, the penalty from MLB was effective immediately. And he got banned from playing in the Majors for 80 games.?

Nevertheless, Tatis Jr. has explained the reason behind his positive test, and it came from a medication to treat ringworm which contained the banned substance.

Then came Fernando Tatis Sr.’s explanation of the scandal. And he said his son’s positive test report came from a spray he used to treat a fungus due to a haircut.

In a statement realized by the player’s union, Tatis Jr. has apologized for his mistake.

He said, “It turns out that I inadvertently took a medication to treat ringworm that contained Clostebol. After initially appealing the suspension, I have realized that my mistake was the cause of this result, and for that reason, I have decided to start serving my suspension immediately.”

One fan thought that the steroid Tatis Jr tested positive for does not treat any skin conditions.
