    They already know what happened, he had a known potential
    complication, albeit an unlikely one, to the surgical procedure he
    underwent. It could've happened to anyone.

    It was probably not a good idea to fly home so soon after the operation
    given the known circulation problems on long flights, particularly in
    economy class. Apparently he also did some gardening once home which
    probably was also not a good idea. Come to think of it gardening is
    dangerous for cyclists, I seem to recall McEwen (or maybe it was O"Grady)
    injuring their back while gardening just before the tour a few years ago.

    Yeah, he probably shouldn't have flown so soon after the surgery.

    Not just cyclists. It's the Bob Ojeda Syndrome. From Wiki:
    He pitched well in 1988 but was involved in what some consider one of
    the most ridiculous accidents in baseball history when he severed the
    tip of his left middle finger while trimming his hedges in mid-
    September.

    The old cyclists had the right idea. No swimming, no ice cream, don't
    use the legs unless you're riding or boinking. That's how they got to
    be old cyclists.

    All those Anglo-Saxons look the same.

    I do not believe the stories athletes tell when
    recounting their injuries. Hedge trimming accident?
    Puhleeeze. A local baseball player suffered serious
    injuries in the off-season, told come crapola story,
    found out he was doing motorcycle stunts in a parking
    lot. Some athlete broke his wrist, said it happened
    when the golf cart stopped abruptly; yeah, he was drunk
    and riding on top of the golf cart. Anybody believes
    these stories lacks a critical facility. They injure
    themselves doing stupid [censored].

    Yeah, like in Ojeda's case, trimming hedges instead of having a
    gardener do it. Whether he was drunk, doped or deranged, WTF does it
    matter? It's an athlete getting injured gardening theme, not the
    usual athlete lying and making stupid excuses theme.
