Apparently, so...
In an investigation by the New York Daily News, it was discovered that disgraced San Francisco Giants OF Melky Cabrera tried to create an artificial website describing a fake product in line with his intake...
Didn't work...and now Jeff Novitzky is looking into everything and everyone in Cabrera's past...
From the article:
Cabrera associate Juan Nunez, described by the player’s agents, Seth and Sam Levinson, as a “paid consultant” of their firm but not an “employee,” is alleged to have paid $10,000 to acquire the phony website. The idea, apparently, was to lay a trail of digital breadcrumbs suggesting Cabrera had ordered a supplement that ended up causing the positive test, and to rely on a clause in the collectively bargained drug program that allows a player who has tested positive to attempt to prove he ingested a banned substance through no fault of his own.
“There was a product they said caused this positive,” one source familiar with the case said of Cabrera’s scheme. “Baseball figured out the ruse pretty quickly.”
Here's KGO-TV's coverage when Cabrera got busted...
Nunez is falling on the sword where the website is concerned and is saying that Cabrera's agents have nothing to do with anything...
But the HQ thinks that this is barely beginning...
