Weeks before his “I am God” incident and subsequent Lyme Disease diagnosis, Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden had suspended QB Wyatt Sexton for undisclosed reasons. Now Bowden is detailing Sexton’s suspension was because the QB skipped a random drug test.
When his grades slipped during spring semester, coupled by erratic behavior, quarterback Wyatt Sexton was asked by Florida State football officials to submit to a drug test.
When he refused to take one, according to Seminoles’ coach Bobby Bowden, he was suspended for summer workouts. Two weeks later, on June 13, Sexton was forcibly hospitalized, after a bizarre incident, now believed related to a subsequent diagnosis of Lyme disease.
“I guess you all (media) have always wondered why (suspension). It was a simple as that,” said Bowden, clarifying the issue for the first time Saturday during the annual Florida Sportwriters Association media days at the Caribe Royale Resort. “He just didn’t show up for a drug test. The Lyme disease I’m sure triggered the whole thing.”
Bowden didn’t say that he believes Sexton was using drugs, rather that the QB’s erratic behavior was a result of his disease.
Bowden visited Sexton at his home for the first time since his diagnosis on Friday. Bowden noted that Sexton was was exhausted and was on a strict diet.
