Fernando Tatis Jr., the San Diego Padres right fielder, was suspended for 80 games in 2022 after testing positive for Clostebol, a banned performance-enhancing substance. He claimed the substance was from a medication he took to treat ringworm, stating he wasn’t aware it contained Clostebol.
The suspension was without pay and effective immediately, meaning Tatis missed the remainder of the 2022 season and the first 33 games of the 2023 season. He apologized for his mistake, acknowledging he should have been more careful about what he was taking.
