‘I was needle spiked in a nightclub on my first holiday with friends’

The drug erased most of Taylor’s memory of what happened after the attack at the Majorca resort on June 21, but her friends helped fill in the gaps.
“They were on the phone with my mom and dad and their parents, and they were learning that the best advice was to take a shock shower with cold water.
“Other guys were on the phone with doctors and the hospital and things like that.”
Blood tests at the hospital revealed he had been injected with an anti-depressant drug as well as gamma-hydroxybutyrate, better known as GHB.
GHB is a powerful sedative that causes extreme sleepiness and loss of inhibitions, and erases the memory of what has happened under its influence.
It is famous as a date rape drug.
Although the GHB would eventually leave his system, doctors were concerned about the potential for blood infection from the needle.
Taylor, a rising football star, currently takes antiviral medications to protect against HIV or hepatitis, but those medications have taken their toll.
