It makes sense that they would sedate the boys. I wonder what they used. My guess is a benzo like ativan or Xanax. From experience I can say that 2 mg of ativan will clam you down enough to make you sleep.
It is why they brought the anesthetist cave diver in. The Australian guy. It was a brilliant plan. When we hear everything that went into this we will have our jaws drop.

US will take no credit, but you bet your ass we came up with the plan to knock em out for extraction.
I am thinking Ketamine. Benzos are too fat soluble and benzos under an extra atmosphere of pressure may act weird.
