Chapter 501: Sources
On the street, nearly 200 athletes held signs and walked along the road, which looked particularly conspicuous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among them, only one-third of the cyclists actually came, and the other two-thirds were runners from other sports who took the initiative to come to show support.
Many so-called people who came to "support" actually came to join in the fun. There is never a shortage of people in the world who are not too big to watch the excitement, and the athletes are a group of guys who are overly energetic, especially those athletes from Latin America and Africa, who must be idle in the Olympic Village every day, and they do not hesitate to come in when they see the excitement.
As a result, what was originally a protest march of a few dozen people has become a scale of 200 people, and the number of people is constantly increasing.
During the Olympic Games, more than 200 athletes protested and marched, which was big news, and media reporters from all over the world were moved by the news. The Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, ITAR, Kyodo News Agency, and so on all sent people to the scene to report and interview, especially the reporters of the AFP, who were the most active. Because the French team was the victim of a fake fall in the British team sprint, all the French naturally wanted to pressure the IOC to award the gold medal to France.
Zhang Guan walked in the middle of the team with a gloating expression, while next to Zhang Guan, reporters were surrounding the French cyclist De Almeida.
"The British team has violated the Olympic spirit by using such despicable means to win the championship! Our French team filed an appeal immediately after the game...... "De Almeida looked indignant at the camera.
"Appeal, is it useful?" Zhang Guan pursed his lips with disdain, but in the next second, he suddenly remembered another thing.
In the women's track cycling sprint, the Chinese team was judged to have committed a foul and lost the gold medal, and the Chinese team also chose to appeal at that time, and of course the appeal failed. The reason for the failure of the appeal was not that the appeal was dismissed after an investigative hearing, but that the London Organising Committee issued a communiqué requiring that no team should appeal the decision of the referee in cycling. This communiqué directly interrupted the appeal process of the Chinese team.
"In the matter of bicycle appeal, the London Olympic Organizing Committee obviously directly used administrative means, without going through the normal investigation and hearing process, I don't know if the current London Olympic Organizing Committee will do this! No, I'll have to add more fire! ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Guan stopped, and then said to De Almeida, who was surrounded by reporters: "I heard that appeals are useless!" ”
"Who's here to say cool things?" De Almeida and the reporters turned their heads to look and happened to see Zhang Guan on the periphery.
"It's Zhang Guan!" The reporters found a new target in an instant.
In terms of fame, Zhang Guan is much older than De Almeida, and now when he saw Zhang Guan appear, he immediately pointed the camera at him.
"Zhang Guan, what does it mean that appeals are useless?" A reporter asked.
"Don't you know? There are already quite a few people spreading gossip. Zhang Guan deliberately pretended to be surprised, and then said: "The London Olympic Organizing Committee is ready to issue a communiqué, and in cycling, the organizing committee will not accept appeals against the referee's decision!" ”
"What?" De Almeida was stunned and asked eagerly: "Why did the London Organising Committee do this?" ”
"Why? Can't you guess? Probably to cover up the truth! Zhang Guan smiled slightly, but left the reporters with infinite reverie.
……
"Chairman Sebastian, you're too careless! Bribing referees and the organizing committee is just done secretly, and it is known to others, and it has even appeared in dozens of media in Europe! What the hell are you Olympic Organizing Committee doing! Do you know what a huge crisis this is for us in the UK. Now it's the Olympics, the whole world is staring at us, but you have made such a big scandal for me, and now the whole world is watching our jokes, how do you want me to explain to Buckingham Palace, how do you want me to explain to the people! ”
The Prime Minister's angry voice came over the phone, but Sebastian was at a loss for words.
"Mr. Prime Minister, it's not like that, we haven't done it! That bribing the referee and the organizing committee is absolutely a fictitious thing, it's fake! Someone is deliberately trying to discredit us! Besides, if you need to get the referee to cooperate, it is enough to bring a sentence! Also, the organizing committee is our own people, so we don't need to bribe at all! How can there be a reason to do things for yourself and bribe yourself! Sebastian explained.
Sebastian is telling the truth, Britain is the host of the Olympic Games, the London Olympic Organizing Committee is the head snake here, and the cycling organizing committee is basically British. So there is no need for the British team to spend money to bribe the referee and the organizing committee.
The prime minister pondered it carefully, and also understood that Sebastian was right, and the London Olympic Organizing Committee was guilty of the blame this time.
The anger in the Prime Minister's heart calmed down a bit, but he still snorted coldly, and then said: "Chairman Sebastian, I don't care what method you use, I will calm this matter down for me as soon as possible, I don't want to see this negative influence continue to ferment!" ”
At the end of the call with the prime minister, Sebastian was angry. However, Sebastian, as the president of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, has this kind of scandal, and he still has to deal with it personally.
The French team has appealed, and they have asked for the gold medal to be awarded to the French team. This is an option that is absolutely not allowed for Sebastian. If the gold medal is really awarded to the French team, it means that the London Olympic Organizing Committee will admit its mistake and even sit on the bribery matter.
"This gold medal belongs to Great Britain, and this cannot be changed! It is necessary to secure this gold medal as soon as possible and determine the legitimacy of this gold medal. As long as the gold medal is legitimate, then the way to get the gold medal is naturally legitimate! ”
Sebastian thought of this and typed down such a title on his computer; Decision of the Cycling Committee of the London Olympic Organizing Committee.
……
Soon after, Sebastian finished a draft of the communiqué, and he began to review it.
"First of all, no one in the team is allowed to be on the referee's table during the game; Secondly, all inquiries about the results must be made after the match; Thirdly, the final decision of the referee team will not be appealed; Fourth, no member of the team is allowed to stand on the starting platform, aisles, ramps and fences. ”
Sebastian nodded with satisfaction, among the four, the most critical ones are actually the second and third, which directly put an end to the challenge of the participating teams to the authority of the referee, and at the same time directly blocked the way for the French team to appeal. The French team cannot appeal, so the gold medal naturally belongs to the British team.
Suddenly, there was a cacophony outside the window, and it was getting louder and louder.
"What's wrong? Why is it so noisy outside! Sebastian wanted to get up and look out the window to see what was going on, while his secretary walked in.
"Mr. President, there are protest marches outside. And the news is already on TV! The secretary told Sebastian about the cyclist's protest.
"Damn it, what a mess!" Sebastian cursed, but turned on the TV anyway.
On the TV, a beautiful young female reporter is holding a microphone and facing the camera.
I only heard the beautiful female reporter speak: "A source said that in order to cover up the truth of the matter, the London Olympic Organizing Committee has prepared to issue a new communiqué, which will stipulate that in the cycling event, the organizing committee will not accept appeals against the final penalty of the referee group." ”
"What!" Sebastian's face turned pale in an instant.
"How is that possible? How could a journalist possibly know? Where did the source come from, according to a source? I've just finished writing the draft here, and this source knows about it? It's a bit too much to be well-informed! Is this a well-informed or unpredictable prophet! I don't have a camera in the house. Cover up the truth? I'm covering up the truth! Sebasti couldn't stop complaining.
At this time, Sebastian knew that the matter had already made news, and the communiqué he had just written must not be issued. Otherwise, it really becomes a "cover-up".
