Chapter 269 Who is taking drugs?
The celebration on site lasted for five or six minutes. When Tang Hao was pulled ashore by his teammates, the mood of the audience not only did not decline, but instead rose more and more.
Jesus, the nickname evolved from Ritian, seems so appropriate at this moment.
After Phelps and Agner got ashore, they both came over to congratulate Tang Hao. They were really convinced that they lost to an opponent like Tang Hao.
Tang Hao waved to the audience.
Although he has grown to 1.8 meters tall, among the long-legged players, he still seems inconspicuous as ever. However, this inconspicuous player has just brought a miracle to all the audience.
Tang Hao waved his hand to respond to the enthusiastic audience, which soon attracted even more excited cheers. I don’t know how many female audiences said to Tang Hao with a flushed face and said they love you.
Tang Hao was surrounded by reporters halfway through the journey. Before and even during the game, these reporters who were ready to interview Australians, all jumped into the guns and rushed to the Chinese team.
The other three Chinese players have never seen this symptoms, and they are so excited that they can't hold back their smiles.
What does it mean to win on your own? This is the most true portrayal...
Because of Tang Hao and the existence of the Chinese team, the video of this 100-meter relay race has been circulating on the Internet. Fortunately, the Internet has developed in this era. Those netizens who did not see the last scene because of the collapse of the Bilibili website can watch the high-definition replay again.
In fact, even if it is just a replay, it will be exciting to watch.
Even because of this video, the highly questioned Olympic Games have doubled its influence.
Such a result made the people of the Olympic Organizing Committee not know whether to cry or laugh.
However, the day after the end of this game, the Olympic Organizing Committee thought the matter was not big enough and actually made a super big news.
The influence of this news is even comparable to that of Tang Hao who changed his fate to win the relay championship itself.
The person who made this big news was Bastian Co., the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee and the strong contender for the next International Olympic Committee President.
On this night in the past, with the efforts of Tang Hao and Ye Shiwen, the Chinese team won three gold medals in four finals, making the Chinese team's gold medal count surpass the US team in one fell swoop.
Although Chinese swimming has risen in the Kyoto Olympics, the outside world generally believes that the Chinese are taking advantage of the home court, so at the London Olympics, they are eager to see the Chinese team make a fool of themselves.
As a result, Tang Hao, Sun Yang, and Ye Shiwen performed well, slapped everyone in the face, and Bastian was here.
In this context, or perhaps due to the previous national flag incident, the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee finally couldn't sit still. In an interview with reporters the next day, he said: "We know that technology is improving, drugs are also improving, we have stimulant testing, but this list actually needs to be updated at any time. We cannot guarantee that all drugs are detected, but this problem does actually exist. The Olympics need fairness, which is the respect that every athlete should do, but this process has a long way to go."
Saying such words at this time is obviously a question of the Chinese team. The reporter quickly understood this and then asked directly: "Does the words you said refer to last night's game?"
Bastian smiled and did not answer positively, but replied in another way: "Maybe, a female athlete who is only 18 years old won the 200-meter and 400-meter medley championship in a row, use your imagination and when your imagination breaks through the sky, this may be reasonable, but man, hey, do you know what the 100-meter score of Magnusson or Rochet is? More than 47 seconds, more than 10 meters, that is, if someone wants to catch up with him, that's 44, um about 43 seconds, do you believe that someone in this world can swim into 46 seconds?"
Bastian's words attracted a moment of contemplation from the reporter. After a long time, the reporter said, "Don, Jesus, he swam for 46 seconds 90 under the cold. If it is normal, it is possible."
"This is the key. Do you believe it if you are a yellow man or a Chinese man?" Bastian said without any concealment.
The reporter was speechless, and the interview ended here.
After the interview was broadcast, it immediately attracted crazy retweets from netizens. In just a few hours, it almost reached the top of major search engines.
Just after this video was reposted wildly, netizens were divided into two completely opposite factions.
Tang Hao's supporters said Bastian was a rude argument. You should know that Tang Hao, like all athletes, underwent strict drug tests before the game. This is irresponsible for Tang Hao's unreasonable accusations, or even an insult for no reason.
Although those doubters did not like Bastian's way of thinking, they agreed with what he said. It is indeed incredible that 43 seconds in a hundred meters. For human beings themselves, 46 seconds is definitely the limit. To break this limit, auxiliary conditions are not available. Fast swimsuits and stimulants are such products. Now that fast swimsuits have been cancelled, stimulants are the most likely factor. China is rising rapidly, and new stimulants are not guaranteed to be developed.
The views of both sides seem to be well-founded, and no one can convince anyone, so they are in a stalemate.
The next day, Tang Hao was mentioned by reporters before participating in the 200m medley preliminary round.
"Don, do you have anything to say about Mr. Bastian? He said that humans cannot swim for 43 seconds."
Hearing the reporter's answer, Tang Hao smiled and said, "Do you want to say that I am not a human?"
The reporter was embarrassed and said, "Mr. Bastian should be suggesting something, such as what external help did you use?"
Tang Hao smiled and asked back, "If I used any external help but the Olympic Organizing Committee could not check it out, does that mean that this Olympic Organizing Committee is incompetent?"
The reporter was speechless.
Tang Hao then said bluntly: "Before Bolt ran 9.58, who could believe that humans could enter the field of 9.60. Did Bolt borrow any external help? When Stephen Curry made 300 three-pointers in a single season, did he use any external help? The media of sports competition is constantly breaking through the limits of human beings. Does every breakthrough have to be accompanied by doubts?"
"But, you have made a lot of breakthroughs." The reporter said with a wry smile.
"I'm afraid I can't answer this question. I can't say it's because I'm better, right? If you really doubt anything, then you can give evidence? The Olympic Organizing Committee also has urine samples. I fully welcome all athletes to do a comprehensive examination."
After saying this, Tang Hao's eyes suddenly became cold and he said, "And since you asked, I'll just say it. If the inspection results are fine, then if Bastian doesn't apologize in person, I will definitely not let him get out of Taiwan."
The tone of this sentence was cold and without any anger. The reporter couldn't help but shiver when he heard it. This was a provocation of nakedness.
An athlete is really skeptical about sending such a threat to the president of the Olympic Committee of a city.
However, with Tang Hao's current influence, this is definitely not something to say.
In the 200-meter medley preliminaries, Tang Hao easily won the first place in the group. I don’t know if it was because of the interview with a reporter before the game. He used 80% of his strength to directly break the world record of medley, and tossed the second place by a full five meters away, which was more like a silent declaration.
After Tang Hao's remarks were broadcast by the media, Batisian really did it. He issued an order directly to the staff of the Olympic Organizing Committee to re-examine all urine samples. He also used his personal relationship to find the world's most well-known doping pharmacist and tested all drug ingredients that may have excitatory effects around the world.
This move caused a stir in the UK.
Netizens were also nervous and excited.
Is Tang Hao a true peerless genius or a drug-taking drug dealer? The test results will have the most real results.
In addition to Bastian, there are many people from the International Olympic Committee this time.
These pharmacists racked their brains, but Tang Hao's urine was left with nothing to be found...
And because everyone's urine was tested together, the first thing that was detected was the urine of Australian Taguet!
Sinoth was detected in Taguet's urine. Although this drug is not on the stimulant list of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, it has obvious stimulant effects and is banned in Australia.
This is not the end. In the subsequent tests, Magnussen, Sullivan, Roberts, Mike Voy, and De Osorge all detected the ingredients of Snoth.
It can be said that almost half of the entire Australian team tested this drug.
This result caused an uproar for a while.
OK, Tang Hao, who performed the best, had no problem at all. Instead, the Australian, who performed second only to Tang Hao, was actually detected to have taken new drugs, and it even included the captain Magnusson and Sullivan.
This time it was really funny.
You should know that in the previous Shanghai World Championships, the Australian team was the team that clamored that the Chinese team took the most stimulants.
This result is like the rhythm of thieves calling for thieves!
The test results are conclusive, and the Australian team did not even have any chance to make a public relations explanation. After the results came out, they could only ban the players involved in the game internally as soon as possible and wait for the International Olympic Committee's punishment as soon as possible.
The banned players were sent back to China after a press conference to issue an apology statement.
The incident was exposed. The heads of delegations from various countries such as the US swimming team, the French swimming team, the Russian team immediately issued a statement in support of Tang Hao. In the face of the test results, they felt that the London Olympic Organizing Committee should give Tang Hao an explanation and give the Chinese team a face-to-face apology.
Among them, Americans even bluntly stated that in addition to apologizing, there should be substantial punishment, because this is an extreme insult and respect for people.
Of course, at the end of the speech, the heads of these delegations felt that the drug test could stop after it proved that Tang Hao had. After all, it was quite expensive to gather these pharmacology experts together.
Xiao Jiujiu behind this can be seen by everyone.
International Olympic Committee President Rogge also stopped the test as soon as possible.
Stimulants are a very sensitive word for sports competitions. The retired Olympic Organizing Committee chairman does not want to cause any big deal at the last moment.
And in this case, Bastian, the troublemaker, couldn't hide no matter how hard healed.
After Tang Hao received the proof of his innocence, all the doubters became denouncers, demanding that Bastian apologize for the matter and pay the price.
The upper pressure, including the British royal family and the British government, made Bastian feel unprecedented pressure.
Forced by pressure, Bastian held a press conference, apologized for his previous inappropriate remarks and expressed his apology to Tang Hao and the Chinese team.
In the face of huge pressure, this apology is also very sincere.
The final of the 100-meter butterfly was held at night. Tang Hao defeated Phelps with an absolute advantage and won his 9th Olympic gold medal in this Olympic Games, and raised the world record by a full 2 seconds. The series of events that occurred outside did not have any impact on him.
In an interview after the game, the reporter mentioned Bastian's apology statement while congratulating him, but he didn't expect that Tang Hao's answer was simple: "I refuse to accept the apology."
When the reporter asked, Tang Hao still had the indifferent expression: "I think after Bastian apologized, do you want to swallow me alive? I don't feel sincerity."
After Tang Hao refused to apologize, the Chinese team also issued a statement, refusing the irresponsible apology from the London Olympic Organizing Committee and considering refusing to participate in the next game.
This time, the International Olympic Committee and the British government really can't sit still. Whether it is Tang Hao or the Chinese team, if they refuse to participate, the already controversial London Olympics will really become a super joke in history, and the British government will be in trouble.
Under such circumstances, Bastian could only run to the Chinese team and bowed ninety times in front of many reporters and issued an apology statement to the Chinese delegation.
When he saw that Tang Hao was about to refuse, the Olympic Committee Chairman who had been domineering to Tang Hao directly knelt down and crawled to apologize.
Others don’t know, but Bastien knows very well that if the Chinese team refuses, under pressure from home and abroad, he may face a prison disaster.
Tang Hao did not make any statement. Chairman Cai, the leader of the Chinese team, reluctantly accepted Bastian's apology, but asked Bastian to step down immediately because he had no qualifications to continue to be the chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee if he wanted to slander the players.
The proposal was quickly responded by the British government, and Bastian was directly removed from office, and under the tremendous pressure from the royal family, the police also intervened in the corruption issue of subtracting him.
It is impossible for any official to be completely clean, and Bastian naturally cannot escape it. It can be imagined that despite being humble, his prison disaster is really impossible.
This doping incident completely ruined Bastian and lost all the face of the Australian team, but the biggest influence was that through this incident, everyone in the world realized something.
Chapter completed!
