MLB star tries to beat drug rap with fake product website

Next time you get a speeding ticket, try beating the rap by going back later and posting homemade signs that show a higher speed limit. Such was the strategy of San Francisco Giants slugger Melky Cabrera, recently nailed with a 50-game suspension for testing positive for a banned substance. To mount an alibi and avoid suspension, Cabrera had an associate create a phony Internet site and a non-existent product to suggest his transgression was inadvertent, triggering the drug program's no-fault clause that has spared other players. But that ruse fell apart fast, and now the federal drug gumshoes are involved. Oh, what a tangled web a drug cheat will weave. [Source]
