A MLB player finally admitted to using PEDs and not blaming it on his wife, flaxseed oil or renegade vitamin B-12 shots. Said the Giants’ Melky Cabrera: “My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used. I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and I will try to move on with my life.”
But there is still this: An associate of Cabrera bought three websites that sell health products, created an ad for a fake product and sold that fake product to MLB investigators, who traveled to the Dominican Republic to purchase the it. They soon realized the whole thing was an elaborate scam. But hey, at least Cabrera didn’t blame his positive test on a bad steak and fessed up, which is a rarity these days.
And finally, Danica Patrick was leading the NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Sunday. She finished 27th. During the race an unidentified spectator threw a shoe onto the road course. Patrick ran over the shoe and it kicked around under her car. Soon after Patrick reported handling problems.
In reality, the shoe might have done some damage but chances are something was wrong with her car well before she ran over it. Still, this time it might not have actually been her fault.
And I feel fine.
