Fernando Tatis Jr. may want to switch barbers.

The Padres shortstop won't sniff a baseball field until 2023 thanks to a failed drug test: Tatis will miss the remainder of the 2022 season, including the playoffs, and a poDooney & Bourke rtion of the 2023 season, as well.

While the Padres shortstop explained the faile Freddie Freeman Dodgers Jerseys d test as the byproduct of a ringworm medicationClayton Kershaw that contained a banned substance, father and former MLB player Fernando Tatis Sr. explained another avenue: A fungus caused by a haircutMLB Pet Gear .

What involves him is a steroid that contains a spray called trofobol… He got a fungus due to a haircut. His mistake was not reading what it contains, which is what apparen atlanta braves acuna jersey tly makes him guilty of something totally unknown.

It was a miMatt Olson Braves Jerseys stake that could have been handled differently, destroy the image of a player for such a small thing, for a situation like this. Is a catastr atlanta braves jersey for dogs ophe not just for Tatis Jr, but for all baseball. There’s millions of fans that will stop watching baseball.

All of this has happened because of something that is not worth this issue. This is something for the skin, that’s something that’s not performance enhancing and has no testosterone. It has nothing to help you improve in the game.

What is Trofobol?

Trofobol is a spray that contains clostebol, which is a synthetic derivative of the muscle-building steroid the body naturally produces in larger amounts in men than in women. It is the banned substance that Tatis tested positive for, but is not considered as powerful as some other steroids.

More fro atlanta braves blue jersey m the San Diego Union-Tribune:

East atlanta braves merch Germany’s state-sponsored doping program in the 1960s and ’70s developed clostebol and combined it with another substance to create Oral Turinabol, the then-undetectable anabolic steroid that juiced its athletes, some of whom set world records that still haven’t been broken. The doping advantage of injectable clostebol is that, while less potent, it mimics the muscle-building properties of testosterone without the estrogen buildup that counteracts them.

Knowing all of this, Tatis Sr.'s explanation seems a bit fishy, if nothing else.

In totality, Tatis will have missed the entirety of the 2022 season while rehabbing from a wrist injury, from which he was working his way back. The suspension disappointed plenty of Padres, including teammates and GM A.J. Preller.

While there's a world in which Tatis did unknowingly take a banned substance for a fungus caused by a haircut, it seems pretty farfetched. 

In any case, Tatis may want t atlanta braves cooperstown jersey o check for the Barbicide in the future.
