If he required a transfusion for medical reasons, he would've disclosed
it without any significant repercussions.
Also people aren't typically transfused because they're a pint low. If
he'd been injured or had surgery where he would've bled out a couple
quarts (people will get lots of fluid to replace volume, before being
transfused*), it would've made they cycling press.

*Transfusions are a form of tissue transplant. They always come with
significant risks. I know about this stuff because I spent a decade+ in
a lab developing a synthetic RBC substitute. Our product eventually
tanked for a number of reasons, but others are still kicking.
