    The evidence is compelling, but not definitive. It is predicated on Morrison telling the truth.

    The Psychiatrist's testimony is very compelling, but he just states Morrison has had it for 11 yrs -1988.

    He doesn't have any documentation.

    It appears he and the wife relied on Tommy telling them he had it since the 80s.

    To be definitive, there would need to be an actual positive Test from 88-89.

    Hard to tell whether he got it by all the sleeping around with women he did or the amount of times he used possibly contaminated needles to inject all the steroids into himself.

    That documentary gives me the feeling that Tommy was going to self destruct one way or the other.

    Yep. that was going to be the ultimate outcome, wasn't it? The unknown part was how, but it that just makes for maybe a compelling story is all.

    Virgets never gets any credit at all. I thought he did a real good job with the guy. Lots of others would have given up or just held the spitbucket for paydays. It is such a tough job---especially with the heavies---to try and keep tep them on railroad tracks and not let them derail. Easier said than done & once they get fame and fortune, the problems multiply.
