Yeah but it's not something you catch or happens for no reason, it's caused by the wrong doing of the guy who's afflicted, in this case overtraining and not consuming enough fluids. He never caught the flu, or got in a car crash, or something else beyond his control. Him and his team trained stupidly.

So whether it's true or not, either way it comes back on him and his team. Adequate preparation is just as big a part of the sport as the actual performance.
