Manchado el legado de Robinson Canó
Sus posibilidades de entrar al Salón de la Fama son mínimas
Robinson Canó, de los Marineros de Seattle, fue suspendido por 80 partidos tras violar la política antidopaje del béisbol de las Grandes Ligas. Canó no será elegible para jugar en la postemporada en el caso de que su equipo avance a las series. (AP)El extraordinario legado de Robinson Canó quedó manchado, y difícilmente pueda limpiar su imagen, tras lo que el segunda base dominicano justificó como "un error".
Canó, uno de los mejores intermedistas en la historia de las Mayores, fue suspendido ayer por 80 partidos por violar la política antidopaje del béisbol de las Grandes Ligas. Canó dio positivo a furosemida, un diurético. En un comunicado divulgado por medio del sindicato de peloteros, Canó señaló que recibió la sustancia en su país natal y que no sabía que estaba prohibida.
El 'pecado' de Canó tendrá grandes repercusiones en la carrera del jugador y en sus aspiraciones de ingresar al Salón de la Fama, luego de su retiro.
Uno de los que piensa de esa forma es el reputado periodista dominicano Leo López, quien suma cuarenta años de experiencia, incluyendo cobertura de Grandes Ligas.
"Canó iba a ser un Salón de la Fama cinco años después de su retiro. Ahora, tú sabes que hay muchos miembros adscritos a la Asociación de Escritores que toman en consideración ese tipo de uso de sustancias sobre todo en esta época. Porque antes del 2003 te lo podían aceptar porque no estaba prohibido y no había ningún tipo de regulación. Pero ya desde 2003 no hay ningún tipo de justificación", dijo López a El Nuevo Día desde la República Dominicana.
"Su carrera, sin dudas, va a quedar afectada y su posible exaltación al Salón de la Fama también. Son muchos casos de jugadores que no dieron positivo. solo sospechas, y se les ha apuesto difícil entrar al Salón de la Fama de Cooperstown."
Canó, un bateador de .304 de por vida, está a 583 imparables para arribar a la mítica cifra de los 3,000. Tiene contrato vigente hasta el 2023.
Desistió de una apelación
Una vez el intermedista arrojó positivo y por ser una sustancia diurética, MLB y la Asociación de Peloteros contrataron a Thomas Martin, administrador del programa antidopaje, para determinar si el uso de furosemida fue un intento de "reemplazar, diluir, esconder o adulterar una muestra o de alguna manera alterar un control", según reza el reglamento.
En el deporte, comúnmente, los atletas utilizan este diurético para enmascarar el uso de algún estimulante o esteroides.
Luego de que Martin llegara a una conclusión, el sindicato presentó un recurso el mes pasado. El caso debió ventilarse ayer en Seattle ante el juez de arbitraje Mark Irvings, pero el sindicato informó a MLB el viernes pasado que Canó quería desistir de su recurso.
"Esta fue la decisión más difícil que he tomado en mi vida, pero finalmente fue la decisión correcta dado a que no discuto haber recibido la sustancia", dijo Canó en un comunicado. "Me disculpo con mi familia, mis amigos, fanáticos, mis compañeros de equipo y la organización de los Marineros", agregó.
"Dicho medicamento me lo dio un doctor con licencia en la República Dominicana para curar una dolencia médica. No me di cuenta enese momento que me dieron un medicamento que estaba prohibido, obviamente ahora deseo haber sido más cuidadoso". indicó.
Cero justificación
Sin embargo, López indicó que ningún pelotero puede alegar desconocimiento en estos tiempos en que los jugadores están bien informados sobre la política antidopaje.
"Realmente no lo entiendo y estoy sorprendido. En esta época no hay excusas. Las reglas del uso de sustancias prohibidas están muy claras. No te vas a tomar un calmante si tienes dolor de cabeza sin consultar un médico sobre lo que vas a tomar. Nadie, absolutamente nadie, puede venir a decir en esta época: 'nada fue un error que cometí'. La reglas están bien escritas y tienes que estar apegadas a ellas", agregó el veterano periodista con firmeza sobre el jugador, que fue inactivado hace unos días tras sufrir una fractura en la mano derecha.
"Creo que es un error lamentable que acaba de cometer. No solo se hace daño él como persona, a su figura y a su legado dentro del juego, le hace daño también a su organización que en estos momentos está en disputa en la tabla de posiciones y que en caso de poder llegar a la postemporada, aunque haya cumplido su sanción no va a poder jugar".
Los Marineros no tardaron en emitir un comentario y respaldaron a su intermedista estrella luego de aceptar sus disculpas.
"Robinson cometió un error. Nos explicó lo ocurrido, aceptó el castigo y se ha disculpado con los fanáticos, la organización y sus compañeros. Apoyaremos a Robinson para superar esta desafío", dijo el equipo.
Empero, la credibilidad del jugador queda en entredicho y despertará serias dudas por el resto de su carrera. "Nadie puede decir lo contrario. Una vez hablaste mentiras ya prácticamente la mitad de tu vida te has pasado en esas... hablando mentiras. Cuando te atrapan no hay forma de justificar o decir que no lo habías hecho antes. Es muy difícil que puedas alegar que antes no lo habías usado. Es cuestión de credibilidad", apuntó.
Consternación en Dominicana
Por último, López indicó que la noticia ha consternado al pueblo dominicano. "Realmente es una noticia devastadora, ya que Robinson no solo es uno de los peloteros más populares que hay en el país, sino que también es un pelotero que hace ayuda comunitaria, como por ejemplo en formación de escuelas en San Pedro de Macorís. Uno de los tipos más carismáticos del béisbol de República Dominicana. Estamos consternados. Es una noticia que nos ha sorprendido de mala manera".

The extraordinary legacy of Robinson Canó was stained, and can hardly cleanse his image, after what the second baseman justified Dominican as "a mistake."
Canó, one of the best middlemen in the history of the majors, was suspended yesterday for 80 games for violating the anti-doping policy of Major League Baseball. Cano tested positive for furosemide, a diuretic. In a statement released through the players' union, Canó said he received the substance in his native country and did not know it was prohibited.
The "sin" of Cano will have great repercussions in the player's career and in his aspirations to enter the Hall of Fame, after his retirement.
One of those who thinks that way is the renowned Dominican journalist Leo Lopez, who adds forty years of experience, including Major League coverage.
"Canó was going to be a Hall of Fame five years after his retirement, and now you know that there are many members of the Association of Writers who take this kind of substance use into consideration especially in this era. 2003 they could accept it because it was not forbidden and there was no regulation, but since 2003 there is no justification whatsoever, "López told El Nuevo Día from the Dominican Republic.
"His career is undoubtedly going to be affected and his possible exaltation to the Hall of Fame as well." There are many cases of players who did not test positive, only suspicions, and they have been hard-pressed to enter the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. "
Cano, a .304 batter for life, is 583 hits to reach the mythical figure of 3,000. Has a current contract until 2023.
He gave up an appeal
Once the middleman tested positive and as a diuretic substance, MLB and the Players Association hired Thomas Martin, the anti-doping program administrator, to determine whether the use of furosemide was an attempt to "replace, dilute, hide or adulterate a sample." or in some way alter a control ", according to the regulations.
In sports, commonly, athletes use this diuretic to mask the use of some stimulant or steroids.
After Martin reached a conclusion, the union filed an appeal last month. The case had to be heard yesterday in Seattle before the arbitration judge Mark Irvings, but the union informed MLB last Friday that Canó wanted to desist from his appeal.
"This was the most difficult decision I have made in my life, but it was finally the right decision given that I do not dispute having received the substance," Cano said in a statement. "I apologize to my family, my friends, fans, my teammates and the Mariners' organization," he added.
"This medication was given to me by a licensed doctor in the Dominican Republic to cure a medical condition." I did not realize at the time that they gave me a drug that was prohibited, obviously now I wish I had been more careful. Indian.
Zero justification
However, Lopez said that no player can claim ignorance in these times when players are well informed about the anti-doping policy.
"I really do not understand it and I'm surprised, there are no excuses at this time, the rules of the use of forbidden substances are very clear, you will not take a sedative if you have a headache without consulting a doctor about what you are going to take. Nobody, absolutely nobody, can come to say at this time: 'Nothing was a mistake that I made.' The rules are well written and you have to be attached to them, "added the veteran journalist firmly about the player, who was inactivated a few days after suffering a fracture in the right hand.
"I think it's a regrettable mistake that he just made, not only does he hurt himself as a person, his figure and his legacy in the game, it also hurts his organization that is currently in dispute in the standings and that in case of being able to reach the post-season, even if he has fulfilled his sanction, he will not be able to play. "
The Mariners did not hesitate to issue a comment and endorsed their star second-in-command after accepting their apologies.
"Robinson made a mistake, he explained what happened, he accepted the punishment and he apologized to the fans, the organization and his teammates, and we will support Robinson to overcome this challenge," the team said.
However, the credibility of the player is compromised and will arouse serious doubts for the rest of his career. "Nobody can say the opposite, once you've told lies and practically half of your life you've been in those ... talking lies, when you get caught there's no way to justify it or say you have not done it before. You can claim that before you had not used it, it's a matter of credibility, "he said.
Consternation in Dominican
Finally, Lopez indicated that the news has dismayed the Dominican people. "It really is a devastating news, since Robinson is not only one of the most popular players in the country, but also a player who makes community assistance, such as training schools in San Pedro de Macorís. of the most charismatic types of baseball in the Dominican Republic, we are dismayed, it is a news that has surprised us badly ".
