Worst case scenario for this guy...

Barry needs to talk to him quickly!

The difference between Bonds and Cabrera is that Cabrera has admitted his mistake. So, there won't be an appeal or court hearing.

[leiber88]

Proud that he stood up and actually admitted he took something. Just leaves the Giants in real tough spot to try and get into playoffs with Dodgers surging.

That explains it.

I don't know how these guys figure they won't get caught.

I don't know how these guys figure they won't get caught.

They don't think rules apply to them. Look at how many buy their way out of legal trouble.

He only fessed up because he was caught. It's not like he called MLB and asked to pee in a cup because he's dirty.

Uhm...Wow: Exclusive: Daily News uncovers bizarre plot by San Francisco Giants' Melky Cabrera to use fake website and duck drug suspension - NY Daily News

This is just too hilarious.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A newspaper is reporting San Francisco Giants All-Star Melky Cabrera tried to avoid a 50-game drug suspension by creating a fake website and product to support his claim that he inadvertently took the illegal substance.

The New York Daily News reported Sunday that Major League Baseball investigators quickly uncovered the scheme during the fact-finding phase of the case in July. The incident has drawn the attention of federal investigators. Cabrera was suspended Wednesday.

In their search for the source of the drug that caused elevated levels of testosterone in Cabrera's sample, investigators are looking into Juan Nunez, who is alleged to have paid for the website. Nunez is a consultant for Cabrera's agents, Sam and Seth Levinson.

Nunez told the newspaper the Levinsons had no knowledge of the website scheme.

Suspend him from baseball indefinitely. MLB needs to make an example, and Melky Cabrera would be a good one to start with.

[jwgreen68]

Impose a lifetime ban from baseball. There's thousands to take his place that wont cheat.

[ocanseco55]

I wouldnt impose a lifetime ban becuase this is how he earns a living, but I would definitely increase the suspension in light of what just came out..
