I wouldn't be surprised, if there's no limitation on air temperature entering the ball, if the air from a hand dryer in the bathroom was blown on the compressor during filling... taking temperatures entering the ball well over 125F.
Still waiting on official answers. Locker Room attendant is an interesting lead... although dude is allowed to take a leak.
