Unsuccessful defense of Melky Cabrera

It happens frequently that when sportspersons test positive for any prohibited substances, they try to prove that they have never used any banned product intentionally. They are looking for different ways to demonstrate that they are not guilty. They do a lot in order to avoid bans and/or other sanctions. Here is a case.
The baseball player Melky Cabrera tested positive for the anabolic steroid testosterone. Undoubtedly, he was sentenced to a ban. Like other sportspersons he decided to find a way to prove his innocence and avoid the suspension.
A lot of doping sportspeople that are caught confirm that they have administered a dietary supplement that caused positive for certain forbidden substance. Although several athletes may have used contaminated dietary supplements, numerous athletes apply 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. Actually, 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 promoted selling it. The supplement 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 web site.
But the lie turned out to be unsuccessful. The MLB could expose the baseball player and Juan Nunez. So, the baseball player was enforced to serve the suspension.
The ACES was also troubled. Since Juan Nunez has been a consultant for ACES, the agency and Seth and Sam Levinson were suspected of involving in the hoax. But these individuals 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 not been implicated in this hoax.
The case is still investigated by the Food and Drug Administration. It is not clear yet whether other persons would be also prosecuted and punished for the hoax.
