There is, apparently a handbook for this sort of thing. You get caught cheating, even caught red-handed, and you slip into a fairly unintelligibel stream of denials... I didn't do anyting... maybe it was a bad lab test... might have been some other stuff i took for a legit reason... who knows... I'm innocent.
At the end of that babbling, it turns out that a pretty substantial number of people will actualy believe you. I know it sounds absurd... but honestly, that seems to be how this works. It's kinda like rubbing sticks to make fire -- you'd never believe it coudl be done, but I'll be damned, it actually is effective sometimes.
No doubt there will be people who quickly stand up for the "botched test" theory, or the "someone's out to get the American" theory, or something else equally absurd, when there's a perfectly simple and straightforward explanation for all this right in front of them.
