Melky Cabrera attempted to escape from suspension resulted from his positive for testosterone

It happens often that when sportspersons test positive for any banned medications, they try to prove that they have never taken any prohibited medication intentionally. They are looking for various ways to demonstrate that they are innocent. They do a lot in order to prevent bans and/or other sanctions. Here is a case.
The professional baseball player Melky Cabrera tested positive for testosterone. Of course, he was sentenced to a ban. Like other athletes he decided to find a way to prove his innocence and escape from the suspension.
Numerous doping sportspeople that are caught affirm that they have taken a dietary supplement that led to positive for certain forbidden substance. Although several sportspersons may have taken fake dietary supplements, a lot of athletes administer steroids and choose this way of defense because it works in numerous cases.
So, Melky Cabrera claimed that he had applied a dietary supplement which caused his positive for testosterone. In fact, it was a hoax. Trying to avoid the 50-game suspension, he also created a web site and posted a fictitious product and advertisements that promoted 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 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 could expose Melky Cabrera and Juan Nunez. So, Melky Cabrera was enforced to serve the suspension.
The ACES had also problems. 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 individuals affirmed that they were not implicated in the creation of the web site and the lie which was thought out by Melky Cabrera and Juan Nunez. Juan Nunez also confirmed that Seth and Sam Levinson had not been involved in this lie.
The case is still investigated by the Food and Drug Administration. It is unclear yet whether other individuals would be also pursued and sanctioned for the hoax.
