The Team Did It

To make him super-aggressive. He was passed out drunk. Like the chick whose boyfriend tattooed her while she was asleep. He didn't know.

Sort of dispenses with the it wasn't sensible to give him testosterone becuase it had negligible benefit physically argument.

Throw in the messed up body chemistry from the dehydration bonk episode resulting in a positive test and what do you have? Winner winner chicken dinner.

I'm not saying this is what I believe. I'm not really sure what I believe anymore. Just another scenario for your kind consideration.

I can believe the messed up body chemistry from the bonk... and I always thought Floyd's team director was a shifty individual..... but I doubt his team would do it.

His team would have reaped significant financial rewards had he been allowed to keep his title, so I doubt they'd put that in jeopardy by juicing him.

Sometimes during the night, the aliens from outer space come and perform diabolical experiments upon us, as we sleep. Nobody knows what they do, except for the obligatory anal probing, but raised testosterone levels are often associated with such encounters...

Food for thought...

It's probably a testosterone suppository...

Nah... he put the patch on as usual, but because of the bonk and the drinks, he passed out and didn't take the patch off 2 hours later, as the Doc told him to do.

Woke up in the morning and ripped it off and screamed "Oh man... you better get some Coke, cause I am taking off this morning... "

The rest is history.

That very same scenario played out in my mind this morning as I was shaving.
