The CEO of the “Tigres de Quintana” stated that Jose Canseco would not join the team

Jose Canseco, a former player of the Major League Baseball, rejected to submit to a urine analysis for steroids, when he tried to return to the Mexican Baseball League. It was earlier reported that the “Tigres de Quintana” of Cancun provided him the second chance and invited him to join to the team.
This baseball player refused to submit to analysis for steroids that had to be performed by officers of the Mexico’s National Commission for Physical Culture and Sport (CONADE). CONADE represents government agency that manages Olympic sports in Mexico.
The CEO of the “Tigres de Quintana”  Cuauhtemoc Rodriguez Meza confirmed that Jose Canseco would not be permitted to play for the team because he had acknowledged that he applied banned preparations.
Jose Canseco admitted that he was on testosterone replacement therapy under supervision of a physician in the US. He noticed that he was on TRT since 2008. Jose Canseco was not surprised by the requirement to submit to urine sample for steroids. He wrote on his Twitter account last month that the Minor League Baseball would have testing for forbidden preparations.
As it is known,  a sportsperson can utilize steroids for TRT and compete, if he/she has acquired a therapeutic use exemption (TUE). A TUE permits application of prohibited preparations, if it is supported by medical conditions.
It is obvious that Jose Canseco has prescription from his health care provider that indicates about his condition which requires being TRT. But he hasn’t got a TUE for application of testosterone.
Canseco has openly stated that he had a prescription from his physician to apply testosterone as a part of testosterone replacement therapy. He described about  this condition in a documentary in 2008. He noticed that he discontinued utilizing illegal steroids and was experiencing hypogonadism that was provoked by steroids. Then his doctor recommended him using a testosterone gel to escape from adverse results of steroids.
You see that Jose Canseco’s application of steroids is justified because he has medical support for application. But since he doesn’t have any TUE, it is not clear whether he would join the team that has steroid testing.
The CEO of “Tigres de Quintana” admitted that he had known that Canseco was receieving TRT but he invited him to play, just getting a TUE.
