"Doped" O2 Sensor?

Howdy friends, Anyone deal with this scenario before or have any ideas what could cause this?
Car's running great at 310K mi (V6), turned her on this morning to find:
• CEL
• VSC OFF
• Traction Control
• VSC Trac

Had these lights turn on about 6 months ago, the mechanic I went to "doped" the o2 sensor to bypass the catalytic converter and the lights have been off since then. Dunno why they mighta turned on again randomly. Appreciate any inputs !
