Skip Bayless, a journalist of the channel ESPN2, accuses Derek Jeter, a baseball star, of steroid use. He has expressed his thoughts of criticism during the talk show “First take”.
Actually, Skip Bayless doesn’t have any evidence in order to suppose that Derek Jeter takes prohibited medications. Despites this fact, the statements of the ESPN2 journalist have been spread. Before accusing Derek Jeter of steroid use, Skip Bayless began to criticize anti-doping system of the MLB. He noticed that the MLB’s tests for prohibited drugs are not sophisticated enough to detect those who use prohibited products.
The sports journalist Skip Bayless reminded Victor Conte’s point of view related to testosterone:epitestosterone ratio test which is used in the MLB. This method is not advanced enough to detect those that take banned medicines. Instead of this method, it is necessary to utilize another. Carbon isotope ratio is more appropriate.
The sports journalist Skip Bayless also noted that the MLB didn’t have any testing for HGH. The test for this preparation is performed in the MLB only once per year. But blood tests for this preparation should be performed more times per year. Otherwise, players may use this medicine and avoid detection.
Thus, the journalist thinks that Derek Jeter uses HGH and doping products. The journalist also noticed that if he were a baseball player, he would choose HGH.
Thus, Skip Bayless suggests that MLB players use HGH and probably other prohibited products without being detected by anti-doping officers.
It goes without saying that the steroid era in baseball is not over. Professional baseball players use different forbidden products and remain undetectable. But nobody can accuse an athlete of doping, basing just on improper drug testing. It is important to focus on facts, accusing a person of application of forbidden medications. Under other circumstances, any suspicion doesn’t have any value.
