Melky Cabrera blamed nonexistent dietary supplement for his positive for testosterone

It happens frequently that when sportspeople test positive for any prohibited substances, they try to prove that they have never taken any prohibited medication intentionally. They are looking for different ways to manifest that they are innocent. They do a lot in order to escape from bans and/or other sanctions. Here is a situation.
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 prevent the suspension.
A lot of doping sportspersons who are caught say that they have administered a dietary supplement which caused positive for certain forbidden substance. Although several sportspersons may have applied fake dietary supplements, numerous athletes use steroids and choose this way of defense because it works in numerous cases.
So, Melky Cabrera affirmed that he had applied a dietary supplement that resulted in his positive for testosterone. Actually, 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 hoax 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), was the person that created the site.
But the hoax turned out to be unsuccessful. The MLB could expose the baseball player and Juan Nunez. Thus, 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 suspected of involving in the hoax. But these persons affirmed that they were not implicated in the creation of the web site and the lie that was invented by Melky Cabrera and Juan Nunez. Juan Nunez also confirmed that Seth and Sam Levinson had not been involved in this defense.
The case is still investigated by the Food and Drug Administration. It is unclear yet whether other persons would be also pursued and punished for the hoax.
