Jose Canseco didn’t agree to submit to a urine analysis for steroids, when he tried to come back to the Mexican Baseball League. It was earlier confirmed that the “Tigres de Quintana” of Cancun gave him the 2nd chance and invited him to join to the team.
Jose Canseco didn’t agree to submit to tests for steroids that had to be performed by officers of the Mexico’s National Commission for Physical Culture and Sport (CONADE). CONADE is government agency that controls Olympic sports in Mexico.
Cuauhtemoc Rodriguez Meza, the chief executive officer of this baseball team, claimed that Jose Canseco would not be permitted to play for the team because he had acknowledged that he took forbidden substances.
Jose Canseco admitted that he was on testosterone replacement therapy under supervision of a doctor in the US. He mentioned that he was on TRT since 2008. This player was not surprised by the requirement to submit to steroid testing. This sportsman wrote on his Twitter account last month that the Minor League Baseball would conduct testing for prohibited medications.
As it is known, any athlete may administer steroids for TRT and take part in competitions, if he/she has obtained a therapeutic use exemption (TUE). A TUE allows application of banned drugs, if it is supported by medical conditions.
It is obvious that Jose Canseco has prescription from his doctor that indicates about his condition which requires receiving TRT. But he hasn’t obtained a TUE for administration of testosterone.
Jose Canseco has openly acknowledged that he had a prescription from his doctor to utilize testosterone as a part of testosterone replacement therapy. He described about this factor in a documentary in 2008. Jose Canseco noticed that he discontinued administering illegal steroids and had low testosterone production that was provoked by steroids. Then his doctor recommended him applying a testosterone gel in order to escape from negative results of steroids.
It is clear that Jose Canseco’s usage of steroids is justified because he has medical support for application. But since he hasn’t got a TUE, it is unclear whether he would join the team that has steroid testing.
The CEO of “Tigres de Quintana” noted that he had known that Jose Canseco was receieving TRT but he invited him to play, just getting a TUE.
