ESPN2 journalist: Derek Jeter takes prohibited medications

The sports journalist Skip Bayless accuses Derek Jeter, a baseball star, 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 administers banned medicines. Despites this fact, the affirmations of the journalist have been spread. Before accusing Derek Jeter of doping, the journalist started to criticize anti-doping system of the MLB. He stated that the MLB’s tests for prohibited preparations are not advanced enough to detect those that apply banned products.
The sports journalist Skip Bayless reminded Victor Conte’s opinion linked with testosterone:epitestosterone ratio test that is utilized in the MLB. This method is not good enough to detect those who take banned products. Instead of this method, it is needed to utilize another. Carbon isotope ratio is more appropriate.
The sports journalist Skip Bayless also confirmed 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 medicine should be performed more times during year. Under other circumstances, players may use this medicine and avoid detection.
Thus, the sports journalist thinks that Derek Jeter applies HGH and banned preparations. Skip Bayless also confirms that if he were a baseball player, he would choose HGH.
Thus, the ESPN2 journalist supposes that MLB players apply HGH and probably other banned medicines without being detected by the anti-doping system.
It is quite obvious that the steroid era in baseball is not over. Professional baseball players take different banned medications and avoid detection. But nobody can accuse an athlete of doping, basing just on unsophisticated drug testing. It is important to focus on facts, accusing a person of application of prohibited preparations. Under other circumstances, any suspicion doesn’t have any value.
