Chapter 358: Heavy News

"It hasn't been fully disclosed yet, but the matter has basically been determined, and the current world's No. 1 flyer, Jax Thelin, has taken banned drugs." Yu Weili told what he had just learned from the Anti-Doping Commission.

"This temporary flight inspection of Ye Qin is a move taken by the Anti-Doping Commission against the top athletes in the rankings."

"Huh?! Jax Thelin is on a banned drug? The moment Ye Qin heard the news, he was stunned for a moment.

"Hmm." Yu Weili nodded solemnly, "There is already tangible evidence that Jax Thelin has taken illegal drugs. ”

He knows this is undoubtedly a very impactful news for track and field athletes, especially sprinters. Since the 2004 Athens Olympics, Jax Thelin has shown great dominance, and although he has not broken the world record at first, he has won successive championships and medals in the two heavyweight categories of the Olympic Games and the World Championships.

In the men's 100m event with Jax Thelin, the opponent's winning rate has remained above 90%, and the gold medal has basically not been lost in important events. In 2006, Jax Thelin equalled Asafaville's world record at the Doha Super Grand Prix, pushing his popularity to the top.

At this time, almost all of his peers in the sprint class called him "J GAT", Gatling, a famous American machine gun, when the race gun sounded, he turned into a machine gun, bullets rained, and rushed to the finish line.

Such an athlete who is known as the top hegemon of the American sprint program after Morris Green, such a benchmark and leader, was exposed to a scandal of taking banned drugs at this time, you can imagine how big the impact is.

It is precisely for this reason that before the Jax Theling matter was fully exposed, the IAAF and the World Anti-Doping Commission had already organized a flight inspection team to go to various parts of the world to conduct a flight inspection of the current top track and field athletes.

"The results of a urine test from Jax Thelin's April 22 relay race in Lawrence, Kansas, were revealed, and a sample of the B bottle showed that he had taken **keto." Yu Weili watched Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou digest the news, and continued to speak.

**Keto, as one of the cholesterol-like drugs, is not mentioned for the time being in terms of human development and medical effects, but it is a banned drug in competitive sports, and athletes will obviously stimulate and intensify the state of the body if they use **ketone before the game, so that athletes have a more prominent performance on the field.

Athletics is the hardest hit area, and every year, in various large and small events, it can be checked out that bad athletes take banned drugs. Before Jax Thelin, the most famous sprinters were banned for taking illegal drugs by British star Chambers and American athlete Montgomery.

The former was elected the best European male track and field athlete in 2002 in 26 100-meter races, 5 times under 10 seconds, and was the most popular sprinter at that time, and even announced that he would run a new world record of 9.65 seconds in the future. As a result, in October 2003, an off-site urine sample from Chambers was retested and found to be illicit. Since 2004, he has been officially banned for two years.

Chambers has returned to competition this year and competed in the IAAF Grand Prix in Gateshead, England, on 11 June, where he finished third in 10.07 seconds. But at this time, he has long since lost his glory, and both the media and the public have completely lost interest in him.

Other American athlete Montgomery not to mention, on September 14, 2002, in the Paris IAAF Grand Prix in the men's 100 meters ran the world record of 9.78 seconds (the original record was Maurice Green 9.79 seconds), the result did not last long, in the 04 United States Olympic Trials was found to be using banned drugs, and then it was involved with the "Balk Laboratory", so in 2005 the Court of Arbitration for Sport made a judgment to cancel all his results after 2001 and impose a two-year ban. Montgomery appealed, and his world record was eventually cancelled.

"Isn't that his world record even counting?" Ye Qin remembers that Jax Thelin equalized the world record in Asafavir at the Doha Grand Prix this year, first the organizers hyped up the record-breaking, which turned out to be an own attack, and a few days later the IAAF came out and issued a statement saying that it was only a tie.

The Doha Super Grand Prix will be held on May 12, which is later than the time when the urine test was wrong, and this world record will probably not be considered a valid result.

And speaking of this, Ye Qin also remembered the "conversation" between Jax Thelin and Asafarville on the same field this year, at the beginning of the Eugene station arranged two groups of finals, so that both of them participated in the 100m event, but did not meet.

At the time, it was advertised that the two would meet at the Gateshead Grand Prix in the UK on June 11, but it was later adjusted to the London Super Grand Prix on July 28 due to the tight schedule.

"I'm afraid the problem is much more serious than that." Yu Weili shook his head slightly, "Not only the race that tied the world record in Doha on May 12, I'm afraid the results of the subsequent competitions should be canceled." Jax Thelin was banned for two years in 2001 for taking a banned drug. This time, I'm afraid he may face a lifetime ban. Taking illegal drugs is a red line, and the IAAF and the World Anti-Doping Commission will never allow Jax Thelin to have such a problem again and again. ”

Saying that, Yu Weili also glanced at Ye Qin intentionally or unintentionally, Ye Qin was awe-inspiring in his heart, and understood the meaning of the warning in Yu Weili's words.

Although he never thought about the problem of illegal drugs, even from the time he started training and then went to the national team, he has avoided a lot of messy things because of the excessive speed.

But as long as you are an athlete and you are in this circle, you will inevitably hear all kinds of things about this. Even, if you are really careless, it is not impossible to be framed and mistakenly convinced.

Ye Qin has mixed feelings about Jax Thelin, he has not had much personal contact with the world men's 100m No. 1, but his performance in the field is very aggressive.

Before each fight, he constantly glanced at every opponent he competed with, and his eyes revealed fierceness, as if he wanted to oppress other players with momentum.

These things are mysterious and mysterious, but competitive sports are originally a competition, a competition of personal talent, strength and skills, and an all-round competition of mentality and momentum.

After the two Grand Prix races in Eugene and New York this year, Ye Qin did not continue to travel to Europe with Liu Yangyu to participate in the Super Grand Prix and the Golden League, but returned to China to consider the men's 100m event.

Although Yu Weili and some other coaches of the national team considered and persuaded him, deep down, he did not mean to regard Jax Thelin as his competitor, and in the men's 200m final in Helsinki, Ye Qin won the opponent.

But seeing Jax Thelin galloping on the 100-meter track and competing with Asafavir's 100-meter leader in full swing, the young man's desire to compete with the top players gradually became active.

In the men's 200m, Ye Qin now knows that there are many opponents who can compete with him, such as Wallace Spearmon, Jason Gaby, John Capel, and even several new young athletes in the United States.

But the most threatening in Yechin's eyes is undoubtedly Jax Thelin, the 100-meter flyer. And Ye Qin also wants to compete with the other party in the men's 100m in addition to the men's 200m race.

In the eyes of many people, it may seem that Ye Qin has honestly trained the men's 200m and 400m well, and is already the first Asian sprinter in history.

However, as long as you are an athlete, there is almost no limit to your desire for victory, championship and honor. Ye Qin's initial desire for the 100-meter event was not strong, but again and again, when the men's 100-meter athlete on the field, the 100-meter champion, attracted the attention of most people and became the center of everyone's attention, he began to be attracted to it.

Try to coach Sun Chaosheng to learn starting techniques, improve your explosiveness and strength with Randy Hunter, study your first half of the high technique with Chen Zhongzhou, and now start to determine your strength in the first half with Coach Yuan Guohua.

This kind of inner change little by little, Ye Qin sometimes can't explain clearly, but when he heard that Jax Thelin was banned, there was no trace of happiness on his face because he lacked a strong opponent.

Instead, it was shock and a loss that was hard to hide, that sense of loss that suddenly lost a competitor and a goal, and seemed to fill his entire heart for a moment.

He wants to face a strong opponent, and when he discusses his opponent with Yuan Guohua, he has always used Jax Thelin as the most model, whether it is the men's 100m or 200m, this will be his strongest opponent, he wants to study the opponent, understand the opponent, absorb the opponent's strengths, and then defeat the opponent.

Suddenly hearing the news that Jax Sterling was taking banned drugs, Ye Qin really felt that all the efforts he had made were meaningless.

Especially such a competitive player, who is regarded as a lifelong enemy, has adopted dishonorable methods, and now may face a lifetime ban, which makes him feel an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.

After listening to the news that Yu Weili had just learned from the IAAF and the Anti-Doping Committee, everyone in the indoor track and field hall was silent.
