Melky Cabrera’s hoax is revealed

It happens often that when athletes test positive for any prohibited medicines, they try to prove that they have never administered any prohibited preparation intentionally. They are looking for various ways to display that they are innocent. They do a lot in order to escape from bans and/or other sanctions. Here is a case.
The baseball player Melky Cabrera tested positive for the anabolic steroid testosterone. Of course, he was sentenced to a suspension. Like other athletes he decided to find a way to prove his innocence and prevent the suspension.
A lot of doping sportspeople that are caught confirm that they have administered a dietary supplement which caused positive for certain forbidden substance. However several athletes may have taken fake dietary supplements, numerous sportspersons apply steroids and choose this way of defense because it works in many cases.
So, Melky Cabrera confirmed that he had taken a dietary supplement that resulted in his positive for testosterone. In fact, it was a hoax. Trying to escape from the 50-game suspension, he also created a web site and posted a fictitious product and advertisements which induced selling it. The product didn’t exist in reality. It was just a lie of Melky Cabrera and his associates in order to defend the professional baseball player.
Juan Nunez, a paid consultant for Athletes’ Career Enhanced and Secured Incorporated (ACES), created the site.
But the hoax turned out to be unsuccessful. The MLB exposed the baseball player and Juan Nunez. Thus, the baseball player was enforced to serve the suspension.
The ACES got troubles as well. Since Juan Nunez has been a consultant for ACES, the agency and Seth and Sam Levinson were accused of involving in the hoax. But these persons affirmed that they were not implicated in the creation of the site and the hoax that was thought out by Melky Cabrera and Juan Nunez. Juan Nunez also confirmed that Seth and Sam Levinson had nothing to do with this hoax.
The Food and Drug Administration is still investigating the case. It is not clear yet whether other persons would be also pursued and punished for the lie.
