In what must be one of the top breaches of medical ethics in recent history, a researcher who published positive results for certain drugs in anesthesiology journals, has admitted to publishing fabricated data.
These results were used by drug makers to vouchsafe their products to the FDA, pharmacologists, and other physicians.
This article in The Wall Street Journal details the situation and some of the drugs involved:

We’ve followed plenty of controversies around drug trials, from ghostwriting to keeping quiet about unflattering results. But the latest news is particularly eye-popping: A prominent Massachusetts anesthesiologist allegedly fabricated 21 medical studies involving major drugs. Yikes.
Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Mass., has asked several anesthesiology journals to retract the studies, which appeared between 1996 and 2008, the WSJ reports. The hospital says its former chief of acute pain, Scott S. Reuben, faked data used in the studies.
