Chapter 329: Drug Test (Subscription Requested!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
After the game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, the first thing to make headlines was naturally the photo of Barkley kissing the ass of a donkey, and many people were thinking that Barkley would probably not dare to bet on Chinese players casually in his life.
However, just a few hours later, another piece of news took over the headlines -
Lu Fei was asked for a drug test because he blocked center forward Dampier.
"Please, it's just a dampier thing, if I use the medicine, I think the effect of this medicine is really bad."
Lu Fei said lightly, it was obvious that he did not regard the drug test as a very serious matter.
In the NBA, its drug testing procedures are largely the same as those of the other major North American sports leagues.
All players face four random sampling tests each season, from October 1 to June 30 of the following year, in addition to two random sampling tests each offseason, from July 1 to September 30 local time.
All tests are arranged and carried out by an independent third party and players are not given advance notice. Neither the NBA nor the players' union will be involved in any of the testing schedules or the selection of the subjects to be sampled.
NBA drug tests are conducted at random, but rookies are more likely to be selected than veterans.
The reason is simple, rookies want to play well in order to get a big contract.
And for veterans who have been able to gain a foothold in the NBA, their careers are very long, they will not gamble on their health, secondly, drugs have little effect on basketball, at most they are full of physical energy, and will not make your shooting accurate, basketball is a five-person sport, and one person uses medicine, and it cannot affect the overall situation.
The NBA, like other major sports leagues, is significantly less regulated and punished than other international sports organizations such as the Olympics, not least because they have strong players' unions that represent the interests of players, negotiate and set rules, and try to ensure player privacy.
The bottom line is that no one jokes about their careers.
But if you want to say that the NBA is clean, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Lu Fei has been in this league for a long time, and naturally knows that at least more than half of the players in this league can use drugs.
Those who don't have drugs and don't joke about their careers are those players who are in their playing years, and in turn, those players who are in serious decline and whose next contract is shaky, and those young rookies mentioned earlier, especially second-round picks, who will not use any means as long as they have the slightest chance of staying in the NBA.
George Carr once said: "It's clear that some of our players are doping. Why do some people get thinner and healthier as they get older? How did they recover from their injuries so quickly? ”
"Why did they go to Germany in the off-season? I guess it's not for sauerkraut. More likely, it's because Europe has the latest, hard-to-detect drugs. ”
NBA commissioner David Stern certainly won't admit that the NBA in his mouth is absolutely clean.
After all, he couldn't even gamble.
Lu Fei's drug test is actually a normal routine test, but the domestic news is rushing to report.
"Foreigners just can't see us Chinese playing well!"
"We're playing doping?"
"If imperialism does not die, Lu Fei will fight to the end."
"This must be a means for the United States to suppress our China!"
China is so sensitive to the word 'doping', even on the previous Spring Festival Gala sketch, Huang Hong shouted loudly: "Why should foreigners win the championship, Chinese winning the championship is doping!" We just want them to see that China's Ma Jiajun is to run at the forefront of the world! ”
Ma Jiajun's matter has not yet broken out, but Lu Fei knows that the slap in the face is only sooner or later, and he is never late.
The fans' support and trust in Lu Fei is simple and natural, and it comes from the heart, but Lu Fei doesn't like to hear this kind of sonorous and powerful shouts like a young revolutionary.
The United States may have racial discrimination, but isn't it a joke to say that China will be ruined through sports?
In fact, China has risen to prominence, and now there is no need to rely on sports to revitalize China, and the ideological consciousness of the old United States is not so high, not to stare at your GDP, but to stare at a basketball player, which is not logical.
It's just a routine check, and there's no need to put on a patriotic hat.
It's too tall, and it hurts my neck.
But Lu Fei also knows that in the past ten years, every time this kind of public opinion has been found to have problems in China, creating this kind of public opinion is also a powerful means of counterattack, after all, it can buckle the hat of national righteousness, and the support of so many Chinese people, even if there is a problem, what can it do?
In 1994, the Chinese swimming team was found to have been doping in an organized group at the Asian Games in Hiroshima.
When questioned by the West about the possibility of doping when winning gold medals in the Olympic Games and World Championships, countless Chinese people fought back, using slogans similar to those of Lu Fei at this time.
But when the truth is revealed, there may be nothing left except for the pain in the face.
In the history of world sports, the history of doping in Chinese sports is appalling, and Lu Fei really doesn't want to use such words to describe things related to the motherland, but this is the truth.
So, what he can do is make sure he is clean.
After the drug test, Chen Qiao came over to interview Lu Fei.
The first thing Lu Fei said was: "If you want to say why Kobe Bryant's dunk center should be, and the Chinese dunk center should be tested for drugs, then our interview will end here, right?" ”
Chen Qiao was stunned.
This happens to be the topic of the interview he wants to interview today, and it is also the hottest topic of discussion in China.
"This is an ordinary drug test, don't you believe it, you go ask Yao Ming, ask Wang Zhizhi, they will also be sampled for drug testing every year, there is no need to buckle such a big hat, they can all be clean, I naturally have no problem...... But thank you for your concern. ”
Chen Qiao smiled, he felt that Lu Fei in front of him was a little different from when he first met.
Lu Fei is smarter than he imagined, he fought in the NCAA and knows how to guide public opinion, because he needed this help at that time, and he was indeed wronged, and the basis for him to do all this is that he is clean.
So this drug test is rumored outside, but in Lu Fei's opinion, this is just an ordinary routine event, and there is no need to waste everyone's feelings on this incident.
The premise of this is that he is clean.
Lu Fei sometimes wonders, if he is really not clean, will he use the power of public opinion with his conscience once?
In this kind of thing, Lu Fei admires one person very much, that is, the one he saw in Athens last summer standing on the Olympic hurdles podium - Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang has completely broken the perception of people in China, even yellow athletes, and he has also experienced multiple drug tests from WWADA, Liu Xiang has not only proved that he is clean, but also won widespread respect.
So Lu Fei admired him very much.
The next day, Lu Fei's drug test results came out, and everything was normal.
What Lu Fei didn't know was that he also completely broke the perception of Chinese basketball players in the United States.
After the game that day, Lu Fei received a call from Kobe......
