Morgantown, WV - Sources reported the infamous 'Blue Flame' is recovering from surgery in a secret undisclosed location following 'transplant surgery'.
Speaking on conditions of anonymity, sources close to the story report the Blue Flame was transferred to the recovery ward following the surgery and was responding well when it developed symptoms leading some to believe the transplant was being rejected. Tests confirmed the worst, and plans were being made for a second surgery. Experts familiar with the procedure say "This is a serious condition. The surgery will most certainly need to be done again. Although rare, these things do happen."
Some suspect the suprise setback could lead to a shorter track season for the Blue Flame team this year. Coming off a record year last season, the team had high expectations for this year. In the off season, elective surgery was scheduled to enhance the track performance even further. After several delays the Blue Flame was finally transported to the secret facilities where the operation took place. Security was tight surrounding the story and few even knew of the procedure taking place. No details were released of the procedure and sources are not divulging any further information.
Experts speculate it could be weeks before the Blue Flame is released from the second surgery to run at the track once again.
