The sports journalist Skip Bayless accuses Derek Jeter, a baseball player, of steroid use. He has expressed his thoughts of criticism during the talk show “First take”.
In fact, the ESPN2 journalist doesn’t have any evidence in order to suppose that Derek Jeter takes forbidden medications. Despites this fact, the affirmations of the journalist have been spread. Before accusing Derek Jeter of doping, the sports journalist started to criticize anti-doping system of the MLB. He claimed that the MLB’s tests for performance-enhancing drugs are not good enough to catch those that administer forbidden medicines.
The sports journalist Skip Bayless reminded Victor Conte’s point of view related to testosterone:epitestosterone ratio test which is utilized in the MLB. This method is not good enough to detect those that use banned preparations. Instead of this method, it is necessary to use another. Carbon isotope ratio is more appropriate.
The ESPN2 journalist also noted that the MLB didn’t have any testing for HGH. The test for this medicine is performed in the MLB just once per year. But blood tests for this drug should be performed more times during year. Otherwise, players may use this product and remain undetectable.
So, the journalist thinks that Derek Jeter administers HGH and banned products. The journalist also confirms that if he were a baseball player, he would choose HGH.
Thus, Skip Bayless supposes that MLB players use HGH and probably other banned medicines without being caught by anti-doping officers.
It is quite obvious that the steroid era in baseball has not ended. Professional baseball players apply different forbidden medications and avoid detection. But nobody can accuse an athlete of steroid use, basing only on unsophisticated drug testing. It is necessary to focus on facts, accusing a person of usage of forbidden medicines. Otherwise, any suspicion doesn’t have any value.
