No, he could have easily taken a mistep while training and the two best veterinarians said that he had some of the strongest bone that they had ever seen. It also could have been a stress fracture from continuing to work after he was exhausted from a grueling TC campaign. I don't know what happened to Alex. I do think that his training helped Alex get through the TC races though prior to his breakdown.
