The Tortoise and the Hare

I have decided that there must have been some major foul play in the race between the Tortoise and the Hare. Assuming both contestants were properly prepared for the race, there is no freaking way that the Hare would spend weeks upon weeks getting himself in shape to only nap halfway through the thing.

Why wouldn't he wait till after the race? There is no logical explanation other than the obvious assumption most people make, that is to say it is assumed he was just being cocky.

I have a differing opinion. I have to say I must believe that the Tortoise went to great lengths in order to drug his nemesis before the race.

Think about it. Why else would the Hare just all of a sudden become super tired in the middle of one of the most monumental races in all of history? Granted, at the time they probably didn't realize that the race was going to be as famous as it is today, but there HAD to be some sort of audience watching. If there was an audience watching, don't you think they would have been alarmed when suddenly the Hare became unconscious? Wouldn't they think something fishy was going on if all of a sudden their star athlete all-up and passed out? I certainly would, and I would have called the Tortoise out on it so fast.

There should be drug testing done on every single Tortoise vs. Hare competition from this day on.

Cheater.
