Exclusive: Daily News uncovers bizarre plot by San Francisco Giants’ Melky Cabrera to use fake website and duck drug suspension
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

I think MLB should let the players juice-up all they want. 100 home runs a year! 300 RBIs a year! 10 perfect games a year! 500 strike-outs a year! A perfect 162 game season!
Or, if you actually want to stop it, I agree with @Maudie. Lifetime suspensions. And add removal of all stats. Go back over the games and determine if he had any impact on the win. If so, it’s now a loss. Unless a good argument can be made; it was a 10-0 blowout and he only accounted for 1 RBI.
Either let them juice-up or stop it cold.
