Just conjecture, but he may have read my blog and caught the bit about my not-too-awful performance at the Tour of Colts Neck. While I'm still low in the categories, he assessed my threat and didn't want me to challenge his already challenged career.
Ever since then, he may (or may not have) been micro-dosing my water with some poison until he accidently slipped up. A little too strong and now I am noticeably sick. I haven't heard anything from the press but his lack of respect for fellow cyclists doesn't put this kind of behavior past him.
Certainly nobody will be donating to his "I Didn't Try to Poison Arthur" foundation this time around.
