Chapter 495: Nature and Doping

"I just got the latest issue of Nature, and there is an article related to you!" Since becoming Lu Qiujian's counterpart reporter, Penguin.com has given Feng Hongqi a lot of scientific and technological journals regardless of whether he can read it or not, and the first thing he does every time he receives it is to check if there is any content related to Lu Qiujian.

"What's so strange about this?" Lu Qiujian was a little puzzled for a moment, isn't it normal for articles about himself to appear in Natue, especially in the fields of theoretical physics and mathematics.

"But this article is not about your academic achievements!" Feng Hongqi looked at the title of this article with great anger, and his tone of voice became excited, "The title of this article is: Why is the outstanding performance in the Olympics suspicious? It was written by Evan Callaway from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and in the article Callaway was suspicious of your continuous high-intensity competition, thinking that you might have taken certain medications that help increase your physical fitness."

Feng Hongqi intermittently said the general meaning of the article, and Lu Qiujian shook his head and asked directly, "Did he say that I took stimulants?"

"Although I didn't say it explicitly, this is exactly what I want to express in the article!" Feng Hongqi solemnly reminded, "Professor Lu, I just called you when I saw the article! I think you'd better prepare, I estimate that it won't be long before the media around the world will come to you for an interview!"

"Okay, I know, if I have anything to say to the media, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible!" Lu Qiujian reciprocated, and after speaking, he hung up the phone and said to Bai Qiran, "Go to Beijing Normal University!

Bai Qiran didn't ask why, and immediately started the car and drove towards Beijing Normal University, and now the most important thing is to get the magazine first and see what the article says. As soon as Lu Qiujian sat down, he dialed Professor Zhang's phone, "Hey, hello Professor Zhang, there is something that may be going to trouble you! I am on my way to Beijing Normal University now, and there is still more than an hour to go; I want you to help me find the latest issue of Nature, you know that I have been staying in a hotel for the past few days, which is a little inconvenient!"

"Okay, no problem, what, do you have any important articles in this issue of the magazine?" The mathematics community pays more attention to the four major journals, so Professor Zhang has not seen that article yet.

"A familiar reporter called me just now. said they had published an article about me," Lu Qiujian relayed Feng Hongqi's words to Professor Zhang.

"What kind of article is this? When the grades are good, you think we are doping?" Professor Zhang was also a little angry, "I will immediately ask someone to send the magazine, and you will come directly to my office in a while!"

"Okay! I'm sorry!" Lu Qiujian hung up the phone and dialed Ye Chu and them again, asking them to go to Professor Zhang's office immediately to wait for him, he already had a preliminary plan for how to deal with this matter.

Then his cell phone never stopped ringing, with familiar reporters asking him what he thought about the matter, teachers at Princeton expressing concern, and classmates at the University of Munich despising Callaway. There were colleagues from CERN, and other acquaintances in Huaguo until there was no electricity.

When he arrived at Professor Zhang's office at Beijing Normal University, he threw away a magazine with a black face, "Xiao Lu." There is no conclusive evidence, just intentions and speculations, when did Nature degenerate to the point where it would publish such an article?"

Lu Qiujian saw that Ye Chu and the others on the side were also indignant, thinking that they had already read this article, and picked up the magazine and flipped to the article and read it carefully. The article is not long, just over a thousand words, and the author, Evan Callaway, questions Luciujian's performance at the Olympics.

He counted it. In the 18 days from August 7 to August 24, Lu Qiujian participated in a total of 5 football games, 5 basketball games, of which each football game lasted 90 minutes, and the final final was played for 120 minutes, and the playing time of each basketball game was also more than 32 minutes.

According to his statistics, the average distance traveled in five football matches is 13.2 km, which is the highest number of all Olympic men's footballers, and in the final, he ran a whopping 17.6 km, breaking David Beckham's record of 16.1 km set in the 2001 World Cup qualifiers against Greece.

And on the second day of setting this record, he participated in the final of the men's basketball team without showing any fatigue, playing 36.6 minutes, and did not fall behind in the confrontation with James, Kobe, Kidd and other top NBA stars;

Lu Qiujian read the whole article, and it was indeed the same as what Professor Zhang said, the whole article did not have the slightest evidence, but listed a few of Lu Qiujian's performances that seemed quite exaggerated, and doubted the honesty of his results, "Hehe, Phelps won eight gold medals and broke seven world records in the Olympic Games, and Usain Bolt won the 100m and 200m gold medals and broke two world records at the same time, but he just came to me, can't we yellow people achieve good results in sports competitions?"

No matter how much it is disguised, the bias embodied in this article cannot be concealed! Lacking a logical argumentation link and a rigorous logical analysis, Lu Qiujian does not know how such an article can be published through censorship.

"Professor Zhang, Professor Lu, excuse me. Just as he finished speaking, Assistant Xiao Liu knocked on the door and came in, and he said with some anxiety, "There are many reporters downstairs, saying that they want to interview Professor Lu, you see" It seems that he also knows about this article.

"Xiao Lu, what do you see?" Professor Zhang set his eyes on Lu Qiujian.

"Since you're here, let's meet you!" Professor Zhang, I want to borrow the conference room in our department, can you see it?" Lu Qiujian said.

"This is just like your home, you can use it if you want, isn't it outside to say this!" Professor Zhang instructed Xiao Liu to prepare the conference room.

"A few of you should go with me!" Lu Qiujian waved to Feng Hongqi after making the call, and motioned for Ye Chu and the three of them to go with him to meet the reporter. (To be continued.) )

PS: I'll go to the airport tomorrow, and I'll go to the magic capital to watch a concert the day after tomorrow.
