"Got a problem with the urine test?"
This news is tantamount to earth-shattering thunder.
Han Lu immediately stood up, but was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
The doping scandal is a big scandal for the athlete himself and the entire country behind him. The history of human doping can be traced back to Norse legends of warriors who fought in order not to feel pain in war. Then, since the ancient Olympic Movement, athletes who use drugs to stimulate their bodies have not stopped.
At that time, no one had the concept of "doping", and it was believed that the athletes were only using drugs rationally, and even in marathons, there were examples of coaches following the runners with syringes. Just after a series of athletes died due to doping, mankind finally recognized the dangers of doping, and anti-doping testing began to appear, however, athletes and coaches who have tasted the sweetness of doping are still desperate to take risks under the temptation of huge benefits such as money and reputation.
After all, once you successfully evade detection, the achievements achieved are unimaginable.
In the past, when Han Lu was leading the women's singles, there were many rumors about her doping, and then she switched to doubles, and the rumors fell for a while, and last season's Grand Prix bronze medal, a similar voice surfaced.
At this Winter Olympics, many people waiting to see her jokes felt that she definitely had a reason to risk her lost gold medal.
"Prepare the B bottle. Liu Bofei said simply and decisively, "Appeal." ”
Han Lu stood up and followed Uncle Liu out quickly.
"What did you eat?" Liu Bofei asked, "What kind of medicine did you use recently?"
"Didn't eat anything outside of the rules. Han Lu was flustered, but he still tried to maintain his calm, answering Liu Bofei's questions. "But...... A new medicine was used. ”
"What medicine?"
“……”
"Say!" Liu Bofei was in a hurry.
“…… My feet. Han Lu paused, "The old injury has recurred." ”
“…… When?"
"After the Grand Prix, it was the first time. Han Lu said, "And then there's the last one." ”
"When was it last?"
"Two weeks ago, probably. ”
"Why didn't you say that?" Liu Bofei stared at her, and in her memory, this seemed to be the first time he had shown such a serious and terrifying expression.
“…… I think," Han Lu looked away, "after I say that, you will tell me that my body is number one, and you will let me withdraw from this Winter Olympics." I can't quit and I don't want to quarrel with you. ”
Yes, she doesn't want to quarrel. Liu Bofei tried his best to keep himself calm, because now was not the time for them to argue.
"Does Zhao Zhixin know?"
"He knows. Han Lu nodded, "He took me to the hospital to shoot a film, and the current treatment method is also what he agrees with." ”
"What medicine did he give you?"
"I don't know the exact name of the medicine. ”
Liu Bofei pressed his temple, now, they must immediately provide a B bottle urine sample test to go through the appeal process, time is pressing, once the appeal fails, Han Lu will not only face the possibility of not being able to participate in this Winter Olympics, but also may face the possibility of a ban of more than two years. She is 32 years old, and if she is banned for two years at this time, it will basically be equivalent to letting her retire.
It can even be said that it is more serious than retirement - it is that she lost her reputation in a huge doping scandal, and the former glory has become zero in the face of this stain, and in the future, the historical record of her will only be a "doping star who has blinded the figure skating world for more than ten years".
In addition, Liu Bofei has another problem to consider, that is, Xu Haoyang.
As Han Lu's partner, even if Han Lu's qualification is cancelled, if he can find a new partner, he can participate in the Winter Olympics as usual.
Moreover, in case Han Lu is really banned for two years in the future, then Xu Haoyang must also find a new partner. He is only 26 years old, and he is in the middle of a fight among male players, and it is impossible for Han Lu to skate with him until he retires, and he cannot retire with Han Lu.
In fact, at that time, when he proposed to let the two of them team up, everyone else had already told him.
However, it is too late to say anything now.
Just while waiting for the appeal, Liu Bofei found Xu Haoyang and truthfully laid out the questions in front of him - except for the part where Han Lu's old injury recurred. While Liu Bofei was talking, Han Lu sat on the sofa next to him and didn't say a word.
"But," Xu Haoyang said, "it's just a misunderstanding, isn't it? ”
"You also have to think about other possibilities. Liu Bofei said, "In case the appeal fails, you must ensure that you can still participate." ”
"Why did it fail?" Xu Haoyang asked rhetorically, he looked at Han Lu and asked again: "Why did it fail?"
"It's not that it will fail. Liu Bofei said, "I'm just talking about this possibility." ”
"There is no such possibility. Xu Haoyang said, "In case the appeal fails, then continue to appeal after the game." I won't participate this time, forget it. ”
Liu Bofei was almost angry with this kid, plus Han Lu who refused to tell the truth to his partner no matter what...... He was caught between the two men and felt like he was going to have a heart attack.
"Let's change people. Han Lu spoke, "You can participate." ”
"No," Xu Haoyang also became anxious, "You say as if there is a different person now, and I will be able to win a medal with this person immediately." Don't you have to memorize the choreography? Don't you need to run in? Even if I fail to appeal and I change someone, then I won't be able to get the ranking, what's the difference?"
"There's still time. Han Lu said, "It's enough to remember footwork." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Haoyang asked, "...... you?"
Before he finished his words, Han Lu looked into his eyes and saw a second of shock and hesitation.
"No," she said at once, "I don't." ”
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Xu Haoyang. Liu Bofei had to come out to be relieved, "It's not that serious, it's just that you should make other plans." ”
"There is no other option. Xu Haoyang said, "I don't partner with other people, I don't change people." If you really can't, then retire. ”
At this time, Wang Ximing and Jiang Xin also came to the conference room where they were.
"That's right. Wang Ximing looked at Xu Haoyang calmly, "Jiang Xin watched your exercises, she said, she has memorized most of your footwork, and she also likes this piece very much, you run in with her first." If Han Lu can't participate. ”
Wang Ximing's opinion has been very clear, Xu Haoyang's participation is not decided by him alone, he does not represent himself, he represents the whole team, and even the entire Chinese figure skating itself.
However, Xu Haoyang, who has always been gentle in the impression of others, clearly expressed his refusal.
"I don't want that. He said, "This piece ......" he glanced at Han Lu, "This piece has a special meaning for us." So, I can't skate with other people. ”
"You're thinking too much. Wang Ximing said, "It's not for you to decide. ”
"No," Xu Haoyang said, "I can decide a lot of things." ”
"What do you mean?"
"I can quit-"
"Alright. Liu Bofei interrupted Xu Haoyang in time, so as not to let him say the sentence "you can quit the national team" on impulse. He glanced at Jiang Xin. "There's no need to rush. ”
Wang Ximing knew what Liu Bofei meant, and did not continue to argue with Xu Haoyang, but looked at Han Lu.
"What did you use?" he asked, "what's going on?"
"I ......"
These were all reasons why she wanted to hide her injuries.
At this time, she felt that she might have really done something very stupid, and she tried desperately to hide the injury in order not to lose her qualification for the Winter Olympics, which made him panic and pushed things in an increasingly troublesome direction.
"I want to talk to Han Lu alone. At this time, Xu Haoyang suddenly said this. "Is that okay?"
Liu Bofei was a little surprised, but still nodded.
However, he immediately reacted that Xu Haoyang didn't mean to take Han Lu to the corridor to speak alone, he meant to let himself, Wang Ximing and Jiang Xin all go out of this conference room, leaving the two of them to "talk alone" inside.
He walked out first, and then, Wang Ximing and Jiang Xin also walked out.
Before Jiang Xin left, he finally glanced at them with a complicated expression, Xu Haoyang didn't miss this line of sight, but he didn't want to spend any time on her now.
After making sure that everyone was leaving, Xu Haoyang half-squatted in front of Han Lu and gently held her hand.
Her hands were wet and cold.
"What the hell is going on?" he whispered.
"......" Han Lu didn't look at him, she realized that she didn't dare to look at him. His eyes were too clean and too straightforward, something she couldn't face now.
She didn't know what to do.
"As I said, either not now, or not yet...... However, I wish I could get to know you better and that you could trust me more. ”
"I also thought before, if you retire, or...... I can team up with other people again, and I can skate for a few more years. But not now, not in such a situation. ”
"And," he laughed, "I suddenly felt that I didn't want to team up with anyone else anymore. ”
"If it's not you, you can't. ”
Han Lu still didn't look at him, her vision blurred on the unfamiliar mahogany desk and floor lamp in the room. The place is cold and unfamiliar.
If it had been a few years ago, she would have thought that the person who said such a thing was very incredible, could there be anything more important than an athlete's professional ideals? But at this moment, she suddenly found out even worse - she may have to betray her professional ideals for a short time, if Xu Haoyang accepted Wang Ximing's opinion, if he was calm, rational and great, in line with everything she imagined of a qualified athlete, but in that case, she would be very miserable.
Maybe it's the pain of wanting to die.
However, Xu Haoyang strongly rejected Wang Ximing's proposal, squatting in front of her and grabbing her hand.
This is the reality now.
