Since he used these steroids, he was suspended with 80 games without pay and will not return to the diamond this season. Now, people are starting to speculate the reason behind Tatis Jr.'s PED use. Fernando Tatis Sr., otherwise known as Tatis Jr.'s father, offered a reason for his son's steroid use. In an interview, Tatis Sr. said, "What involves him (Tatis Jr.) is a steroid that contains a spray called trofobol." Tatis Sr. then followed up by saying, "He got a fungus due to a haircut. His mistake was not reading what it contains, which is what apparently makes him guilty of something totally unknown." Héctor Gómez@hgomez27Fernando Tatis Sr.: "What involves him (Tatis Jr.) 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 apparently makes him guilty of something totally unknown".70179Fernando Tatis Sr.: "What involves him (Tatis Jr.) is a steroid that contains a spray called trofobol...

"Fernando Tatis Sr.: "What involves him (Tatis Jr.) 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 apparently makes him guilty of something totally unknown" - Hector Gomez Now, there is a lot to unpack in this statement from Tatis Sr.. First of all, he got the name of the steroid wrong. Tatis Jr. was caught using Clostebol, whereas his father said it was trofobol. Next, although ringworm after a haircut is possible, who knows if this is what happened. Things only got worse after this. After Tatis Sr. talked him and his son into a corner, he followed this up by saying, "There’s millions of fans that will stop watching baseball" after Tatis Jr.'s suspension. Although this is tragic to see, this is most definitely a stretch. Héctor Gómez@hgomez27Fernando Tatis Sr: "It was a mistake that could have been handled differently, destroy the image of a player for such a small thing, for a situation like this. Is a catastrophe not just for Tatis Jr, but for all baseball.

This is especially true because the San Diego Padres are in a great position to be a contender this season. Fernando Tatis Jr has really hurt the San Diego Padres San Diego Padres v Washington Nationals The San Diego Padres might have had the best trade deadline in recent history. They picked up four-time All-Star closer Josh Hader from the Milwaukee Brewers. San Diego then acquired rising superstar Juan Soto and All-Star first baseman Josh Bell from the Washington Nationals. Finally, the Padres picked up breakout utility player Brandon Drury from the Cincinnati Reds.

Now, however, Tatis will not be returning anytime soon, and the Padres are left without their star shortstop.
