The excuses keep coming for Fernando Tatis Jr.<\/p>\n

His father, Fernando Tatis Sr., claimed in an interview with \u201cThe Midday Show\u201d that the whole chain of events that led to an 80-game PED suspension for the Padres star started with a haircut.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat involves him (Tatis Jr.) is a steroid that contains a spray called trophobol\u2026 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, \u201dTatis Sr. said.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Fernando Tatis Sr. \u2014 who played in the major leagues over parts of 11 seasons \u2014 said that Tatis Jr. used the medication Trofobol to treat a ringworm that appeared on the side of his neck. <\/p>\n

Trophobol contains clostebol, which is the anabolic steroid that Tatis Jr. tested positive for, and neomycin, an antibiotic, as its two main ingredients. The medication, which is not sold in the United States, is a spray that is used to treat skin conditions, including scars and burns.<\/p>\n

The Post’s Jon Heyman detailed why that explanation made no sense when Tatis Jr. made it last week. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a catastrophe what has taken place, not just for Jr., but for all of baseball,\u201d said Tatis Sr. \u201cThere are millions of fans who are gonna stop watching baseball now. It’s a total disappointment for Dominican fans, fans throughout the world, for something so insignificant that wasn’t worth it. It’s a topical. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat came out positive in Jr.’s body is something that doesn’t give you strength, first of all, doesn’t amplify your [weight-training] regimen, that’s second, doesn’t have any testosterone, that’s third, doesn’t contain absolutely anything that would give you an edge in the game. What has occurred is a catastrophe for baseball.\u201d<\/p>\n
