During a recent game between the Chicago Cubs and the San Diego Padres, Cubs fans started chanting “He’s on Steroids” at the Padres’ star shortstop and right fielder, Fernando Tatis Jr. Instead of getting riled up or angry, the 24-year-old athlete stood there and danced to their chants, turning the situation into an iconic moment.
In August of 2022, Tatis Jr. Was suspended for 80 games when he tested positive for the use of Clostebol, which is a steroid. Tatis Jr. claimed he used it to treat ringworm, but the MLB wasn’t having it.
