plain truth is he was being an idiot because of 1 of 2 possible reasons.

One - He is scared of going under the knife. Understandable for a regular human being, not a professional athlete whose livelihood is dependant upon recovering from injuries in an expedient manner.

Two - Since he is a "lifter", and probably is a very nutrition/healthy lifestyle conscious person, he figures that his body will do better undertaking a "holistic" approach. Might be good for a common cold or even the flu, but not really the preferred method for a ripped achillies tendon.

Bottom line is that either his fear, stubbornness or his delusions of knowing more than the teams surgeons has cost him a very pretty penny.
