In the Rockets and Spurs, all players on the court have to undergo urine tests.

After NBA officials took the samples, the two teams were able to leave, and the urine test results were released two days later.

Team Rocket was also in no mood to celebrate.

Many media began to do interviews and reports, and the Rockets players made it very clear in an interview, "Every member of our team abides by the rules and regulations of the game and absolutely does not use doping." ”

The Spurs are very sure that the Rockets are doping to be able to perform so well.

Both sides insisted on their own words and waited for the results of the urine test.

Head coach Van Gundy was the most worried on the Rockets' team, and after returning to his turf, he immediately went to the back office, found Carter, who managed the food, and asked about the Sheep Refreshing Sports Drink.

"It was a product of the Yangyang Group, and we had a good relationship, so the club ordered some, only ten boxes, which were very popular, and they were taken away on the first day."

"We re-ordered dozens of boxes, but it won't be delivered until at least half a month later. It's really far from China to the United States, spanning half the world...... The company that makes beverages should really have a branch office in the United States. ”

Carter grumbled.

Van Gundy was concerned about the urine test, Carter said, "The team doctor has done the test, it should be fine, most of the ingredients in this drink are just water." Of course, the same is true for drinks, but I don't know exactly what it is. ”

Listening to Carter's words, Van Gundy was slightly relieved.

Even if the urine test results are not good for the Rockets, they have a reason, after all, the club passed the test. And the more complex testing, a club will definitely not be able to do it.

Doping testing in the NBA Major League is complex work.

In other words, doping tests all over the world are very complex tasks.

The implementation of doping control requires the purchase of a large number of high-tech instruments and equipment, the establishment of specialized doping testing laboratories, and the hiring and training of a large number of professionals who have mastered testing and analysis techniques, which are very costly.

The cost of doping athletes at the Olympics and at various major world competitions is staggering and generally unaffordable for small countries.

The doping tests at the 1988 Seoul Olympics cost 1,600 athletes $3 million, or about $1,875 each.

According to the International Olympic Committee, in 1989 a total of 52,371 people were tested in various countries around the world, and roughly calculated, the cost of doping tests in the world at that time was as high as about 100 million US dollars.

In the 90s of the 20th century, due to the needs of the international anti-doping fight, the number of athletes who underwent in-competition and out-of-competition inspections by various international federations increased sharply every year (93,680 in 1994 and 105,250 in 1998), and the annual cost of doping testing in the world increased exponentially, and the IAAF spent as much as $17 million on dealing with illegal drugs in 1996 alone.

When you add up all the international federations' spending on doping in the 28 events of the Summer Olympics and the seven sports of the Winter Olympics, all the expenditures spent on anti-doping by the IOC, the World Anti-Doping Agency and governments and national anti-doping organizations, it is even more astronomical.

In professional basketball, the situation is slightly better.

For example, in football and basketball games, due to the long time of the game, the effect of ordinary doping is not obvious, and the collective sports also rely more on the overall strength, the tactics of the head coach, and the cooperation of the whole team, and the role of the individual is much weaker.

The doping test of the NBA major leagues is generally a very small number of random tests, such as a player who performs extremely well, may be selected for a urine test, in terms of probability, on average, a player only has one urine test in a season.

The urine test in the NBA major leagues is also much smaller than that of the Olympics.

Many of the known doping drugs have little to no effect in professional basketball, so these components can be tested without testing and only the main ones that have a direct impact on a player's performance.

Van Gundy was not too worried when he learned that the drink had passed the club's urine test.

The NBA major league test is more high-end than that of a club, but there are only a few more ingredients in the test, and the basic ones are passed, and there is little chance that they will contain rare ingredients.

However, the outside media has not seen the Rockets pass the urine test, mainly because the Rockets' performance in the next four rounds is too good to be described as being in good condition.

It's not strange for a team to have one player in a game, even if it's dominant, it's not strange at all, but it's strange for every player on the team to play well.

The media began to analyze the video of the match between the two teams.

Many media outlets have concluded that "the Rockets are likely to use doping to beat the Spurs." ”

It's an outcome that even the NBA Major League doesn't want to see.

If the whole team of the Rockets uses doping, it will definitely become a stain on the NBA major leagues, you must know that the NBA major leagues are different from the Premier League and Serie A in football, they are purely commercial leagues, and the clubs are combined to form a whole, and many games are performative in order to attract audiences.

Even when it comes to competing for the championship ring, teams don't care too much about winning or losing, and sometimes the interests are more important than the championship.

This is NBA professional basketball.

If there is one team in it, the whole team uses doping to beat the opponent, it will definitely become a stain on the NBA major leagues.

The NBA is not without its opponents.

Although the NBA is recognized as the best basketball event in the world, there are other leagues in the United States that are eligible to challenge the NBA in the future.

All in all, the impact of this incident is very large.

In response to this incident, NBA Major League President David Stern stood up and said very seriously, "If the result is disappointing, we will severely punish the team that violates the rules!" ”

That's David Stern's attitude.

Next, the media and fans paid attention to the development of time, and the urine test was also carried out in an open and transparent manner, and some reporters even entered the testing center to interview the progress of the test on the spot.

This event became the biggest time in the NBA.

A day passed.

Finally, that night, the NBA officially held a press conference to officially announce the test results.

There were so many media reporters who came that the crowd filled the entire venue, with Rockets representatives sitting in the front row waiting, and the Spurs not sending anyone.

The official spokesperson of the NBA Major League took the stage and the first thing he said was, "I regret to announce ......"

The audience is boiling!

Everyone's first reaction was, "Team Rocket is going to be out of luck now!" ”

But what I didn't expect was that the next words were like this, "...... San Antonio Spurs player Dean Glover failed the chlorotriphene test when his urine test showed the use of drugs containing chlorotriphene, which promotes the production of the chloride. ”

"The NBA league has always emphasized the fairness of the game and does not want anyone, no team to violate this principle, and finally the league decided to ban Dean Glover for half a year and fine him $120,000."

The media in the audience was in an uproar.

Don't they all say that there is a problem with Team Rocket? How did the investigation turn into a Spurs player?

The only laughing person on the scene was the representative of the Rockets, the representative was still very worried, and the outside world was rumored to say that the Rockets took doping to beat the Spurs in a row, sadly, even he thought so, as a staff member of the Rockets, he couldn't know much about the strength of the team, McGrady was very good, Yao Ming was also very good, but there were so many games in the preseason and playoffs, how much ability was on the surface, and it was too difficult for the Rockets to beat the Spurs.

But Team Rocket did it!

After falling behind by three games, he won four games in a row to win!

Incredible!

The Rockets representatives were ready to hear the punishment of the team, and even wondered if the Rockets would be suspended and declared the Spurs the winner.

Results......

It turned out that the Spurs player was checked out for doping!

All right!

Then the media in the audience became lively, asking questions one after another, they still cared about the Rockets, and as for Dean Glover, a Spurs fringe player, few people cared at all.

An NBA spokesperson was very clear, "The Rockets' urine test results are fine, and the exact number will be released on the official website later." ”

It's all daylight!

The media and fans supporting the Rockets were in a cheering mood.

What everyone doesn't know is that the NBA league's testing center is also very surprised by this result.

In the testing center, several bottles of Yangyang refreshing sports drink were placed there, and several experts tested the drink, and they all tasted the drink, and they came to a positive conclusion: "This drink must contain some kind of prohibited ingredient that cannot be detected in the laboratory." ”

But they can't detect it.

A group of experts thought about it for a long time, considered many aspects, but still had no way at all, and their test results showed that the bottle of drink only contained water and some minerals, and almost nothing else, not even sugar, salt and vitamins.

But if it only contains minerals and water, it is just a bottle of mineral water, how can it have such a novel taste?

This is simply the most incredible thing of the 21st century!

The experts don't understand.

After studying for more than a week, they could only declare the study a failure.

They couldn't do anything about it.

"Maybe it's a problem with our inspection equipment." Some experts pointed out that the equipment was insufficient, and eventually they decided to turn to other agencies......
