The ESPN2 journalist Skip Bayless accuses Derek Jeter, a baseball star, of steroid use. He has pronounced his thoughts of criticism during the talk show “First take”.
Actually, Skip Bayless doesn’t have any basis in order to suppose that Derek Jeter uses forbidden medications. Despites this fact, the affirmations of the journalist have been spread. Before accusing Derek Jeter of doping, the reporter started to criticize anti-doping system of the MLB. He stated that the MLB’s tests for banned medications are not sophisticated enough to catch those that administer banned medications.
The sports journalist Skip Bayless reminded Victor Conte’s point of view connected with testosterone:epitestosterone ratio test which is performed in the MLB. This method is not sophisticated enough to catch those that take banned medicines. Instead of this method, it is necessary to utilize another. Carbon isotope ratio is more appropriate.
Skip Bayless also noticed that the MLB didn’t have any testing for HGH. The test for this drug is performed in the MLB just once per year. But blood tests for this medicine should be performed more times during year. Under other circumstances, players may use this medication and remain undetectable.
So, the journalist supposes that Derek Jeter applies HGH and prohibited preparations. The ESPN2 journalist also notes that if he were a baseball player, he would apply HGH.
So, the ESPN2 journalist supposes that MLB players administer HGH and probably other prohibited drugs without being caught by anti-doping officers.
It is quite evident that the steroid era in baseball is not over. Professional baseball players apply different banned preparations and avoid detection. But nobody can accuse an athlete of steroid use, basing just on unsophisticated drug testing. It is necessary to focus on facts, accusing an athlete of usage of forbidden medicines. Under other circumstances, any suspicion doesn’t have any value.
