Like so many others, I was captivated by this underdog horse. However, right after the win, I was annoyed to see so many Debbie Downers and conspiracy theorists already claiming the horse was on drugs, as if his win would be impossible otherwise. God forbid we enjoy the horse and his incredible story. We just HAD to be getting cheated somehow.
Along the same lines and around the same time I was also recently reading the YouTube comments on the trailer of an awesome Nolan Ryan documentary coming up called "Facing Nolan". Ryan had perhaps the most golden arm in the history of baseball, he's a mythical figure. In all of these decades, I had never heard the claim that only reason he could pitch so long is because he was "roided up" until I was reading these comments. There is of course not a single shred of evidence on that theory. It's ridiculous.
It's just the way a segment of the society is now.
