It happens frequently that when sportspeople test positive for any prohibited medicines, they try to prove that they have never used any forbidden drug intentionally. They find 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 situation.
The baseball player Melky Cabrera tested positive for the anabolic steroid testosterone. Of course, he was sentenced to a 50-game suspension. Like other sportspersons he decided to find a way to prove his innocence and avoid the suspension.
Many doping sportspersons who are caught affirm that they have used a dietary supplement that caused positive for certain banned substance. However certain athletes may have administered contaminated dietary supplements, numerous sportspersons take steroids and choose this way of defense because it works in numerous situations.
Thus, Melky Cabrera claimed that he had applied a dietary supplement which caused his positive for testosterone. In fact, it was a lie. Trying to avoid the 50-game suspension, he also created a web site and posted a fictitious supplement 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), was the person that created the site.
But the hoax turned out to be unsuccessful. The MLB exposed the baseball player and Juan Nunez. So, the baseball player was enforced to serve the ban.
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 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 lie.
The case is still investigated by the Food and Drug Administration. It is unclear yet whether other persons would be also pursued and sanctioned for the lie.
