Hoax of Melky Cabrera for his defense

It happens often that when athletes test positive for any prohibited medications, they try to prove that they have never administered any banned medication intentionally. They find various ways to manifest that they are innocent. They do a lot in order to prevent suspensions and/or other sanctions. Here is a case.
The baseball player Melky Cabrera tested positive for testosterone. Undoubtedly, 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.
Numerous doping sportspersons that are caught claim that they have used a dietary supplement that resulted in positive for certain banned substance. However certain athletes may have administered fake dietary supplements, many athletes use steroids and choose this way of defense because it works in many situations.
Thus, Melky Cabrera confirmed that he had administered a dietary supplement that 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 which induced 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 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 lie turned out to be unsuccessful. The MLB exposed the baseball player and Juan Nunez. So, Melky Cabrera 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 web site and the lie 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 lie.
The Food and Drug Administration is still investigating the case. It is not clear yet whether other individuals would be also prosecuted and sanctioned for the hoax.
