On the list of participants, Gatlin's name actually appeared!

In addition to Gatlin, Sean Crawford also appeared in the 100m list, and another member of the U.S. team in the 100m was named Leonard Scott.

"Gatling? How did he get here? Zhang Guan asked. The doping scandal in the United States this time was caused by Gatlin's discovery of the use of illegal drugs, and Gatlin also missed all the races after the IAAF Osaka Grand Prix.

"Surprised, isn't it?" Director Ma continued: "Gatlin has been found to have used illegal drugs before, so this doping incident, the maximum punishment Gatlin faces is likely to be a lifetime ban, so he has never admitted to using doping before, and he even hired a private investigator to investigate whether someone framed him." Recently, however, he cooperated with the IAAF's Anti-Doping Committee for testing. ”

"Did you find out?" Zhang Guan asked.

Director Ma nodded: "I found out, but Gatlin argued that he has ADHD since he was a child and has always had mental problems, so he occasionally needs to take some drugs to treat the spirit, and the drugs contain some prohibited ingredients, so he will be detected with illegal drugs." And he also submitted a medical certificate and a doctor's prescription to the IAAF Anti-Doping Committee as evidence. ”

"Medical certificates and doctor's prescriptions, even if they are issued now, it will be too late." Zhang Guan asked curiously: "Then did the Anti-Doping Committee adopt the evidence submitted by Gatlin?" ”

"The people of the Anti-Doping Commission are not stupid! However, procedurally speaking, since Gatling has submitted the evidence, then they have to review it. Director Ma thought for a while, and then said: "The Anti-Doping Committee cannot prove that Gatlin falsified the medical certificate, so according to the current situation, it is unlikely that the IAAF will give Gatlin a lifetime ban, but it is also impossible for them to judge Gatlin's innocence, and it is most likely to adopt a compromise approach." There is a good chance that Gatlin will be banned for five to ten years. ”

"It's so long! If five years is better, if it is ten years, it can be about the same for life. Zhang Guan said.

Gatlin is 23 years old this year, which is the golden age for sprinters, and if Gatlin is 33 years old in ten years, for a sprinter, 33 years old can already retire.

"In fact, even if it is sentenced to a 10-year ban, it is impossible to really ban it for 10 years. Gatlin can apply for a reduction of his sentence while he is suspended. You only need to be tested regularly for illegal drugs, and if you have not been found to have used illegal drugs for several consecutive months, you can apply for a reduction in the ban period. So if it's a ten-year ban, it may be lifted in six or seven years; If it is five years, maybe the ban will be lifted in three years, and it may even be possible to participate in the next Olympics. Director Ma spoke.

Zhang Guan thought for a while and immediately said: "Then Gatlin must hope that the IAAF will punish as little ban as possible in the end." That's why he's here to compete in this World Athletics Championships? He wanted to prove that the previous doping was not taken to improve performance, but really to cure the disease. ”

"That's right, it's been so long, I believe that the illegal drugs in Gatling's body have been excreted with metabolism, if he can make a good result in this situation that is not inferior to the previous one. can send a message to the world that with his strength, he can run extremely fast without doping, so he really took banned drugs by mistake for the purpose of treating his disease. The Anti-Doping Commission may have given him a lenient sentence as a result. Director Ma spoke.

"It's all scheming!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.

Director Ma ignored Zhang Guan's joke. Instead, he said in a slightly warning tone: "In competitive sports, even at the top level in the world, it is not so clean. In competitive sports, results are everything, so many athletes or coaches can't resist the temptation. Zhang Guan. You are still young, and the potential for the future is unlimited, in the face of great rights and wrongs. You must control yourself, and don't make a mistake into a thousand hatreds. ”

Zhang Guan understood that Director Ma was for his own good, and immediately nodded and said, "Director Ma, don't worry, I will never touch doping in my life!" ”

……

This year's World Athletics Championships were held at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki. The stadium was built in 1927 as a base for the Finns during World War II to defend against Soviet attacks, and is still standing after 16 Soviet aerial bombs. After the end of World War II, the 1952 Olympic Games were held, and the first World Athletics Championships were held here, so it is one of the oldest sports venues in Europe.

On August 6, the 10th World Athletics Championships began, and on the day of the competition, the preliminary and semi-finals of the 100-meter dash were held. Many of the second- and third-rate athletes in the world were in the preliminary and semi-finals, so Zhang Guan easily entered the next day's competition.

In the rematch the next day, Zhang Guan still advanced very easily, and the men's 100m final will be held that night.

American Gatlin also made it to the final, while the other two Americans, Crawford, were eliminated in the semi-finals, and the young American Leonard Scott reached the final.

Also in the final were European champion Obikwiru, Jamaica's Dwight Thomas and Michael Fretel, Ghana's Aziz Ariza and a Nigerian athlete Zhang Guan didn't know. With the exception of American teenager Leonard Scott and the Nigerian, Zhang Guan has played against other players.

……

Although Powell did not participate due to injury, he still came to the game and served as a guest commentator for the official broadcast signal.

In fact, Powell has not returned to Jamaica these days, but has been recuperating in Germany, Germany's sports rehabilitation level is the best in the world, many American sports stars will choose to come to Germany to recuperate after injury, Powell naturally made the same choice.

Nine out of ten Jamaicans are very adept at expressing themselves, and so is Powell, who is sitting in the commentary booth at the moment, gushing as if he were on the side of a speech, and the narrator next to him is trying hard to interject a sentence.

"Gatlin seems to be in really good form lately, and I remember he said in his pre-race interview that he was aiming for 9.78 seconds. Looks like he's aiming to win the championship! The narrator spoke.

"I don't think Gatling is likely to run under 9.80 seconds. As for winning the championship. As long as Zhang Guan is there, Gatlin will not be able to win the championship, even if he runs 9.78 seconds. Powell immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Asafa, why do you think so?" The narrator asked.

"I know Zhang Guan, I have fought him many times, even I can't defeat Zhang Guan, how can Gatlin win him!" Powell continued: "I predict that Zhang Guan will take the lead at about 60 meters and then keep the lead until the finish. ”

The commentator nodded: "Indeed, Zhang Guan broke the world record twice in the last month. He's in hot form right now, and maybe he'll set a world record today. Oh, the race is about to begin, let's get into the game. ”

……

Gatling on the track secretly looked at Zhang Guan not far away, in order to reduce the ban penalty as much as possible, Gatlin naturally hopes to run as fast as possible, if he can beat the world record holder Zhang Guan, it will be even better.

A gunshot rang out, and Gatling rushed out. Quickly got into the game

Gatlin felt that he was in very good shape today, and he was estimated to be able to run a time of 9.85 seconds, which is a good chance of winning the championship in any track and field competition.

"It was a good day. It's like last year's Olympics, with a chance to win the championship! First won a 100-meter sprint, then a 200-meter sprint, a double championship. It will make the guys in the National Athletics Federation reduce the punishment for me, the five-year ban is still too long, and it would be much better if it was a two-year ban. The best words don't need to be banned, just a monitoring and observation period, and it's okay to have a longer time! Thinking of this, Gatlin even had a feeling of beauty in his heart.

There is also a penalty under the ban, which is a certain period of observation, during which athletes are required to undergo regular urine or blood tests, and they are also required to report their itinerary to the IOC on a regular basis. It's cumbersome and private, but it's better than a ban.

Thirty meters later, Gatling's speed advantage began to show, and the gap between the athletes became apparent.

After another twenty meters, the leading athletes finally became apparent, and in addition to Gatlin, Zhang Guan, Obikwiru, and the Nigerian athlete were also visible.

Gatlin didn't care about Obikwiru and the Nigerian, he kept his eyes on Zhang, and his aim was to defeat Zhang.

At the 70-meter mark, Gatlin and Zhang Guan were still neck and neck, while Obikwiru and the Nigerian athlete had already fallen behind. The match became a contest between Zhang Guan and Gatling.

……

"Zhang Guan! Come on! Gatling is also fast! They go hand in hand! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Come on...... It's going to beyond! It's going to beyond! Transcendence! The narrator on the TV began to scream.

On the field, Zhang Guan is overtaking Gatlin.

Zhang Guan's heart was extremely calm at this time, and he even began to analyze Gatling carefully.

"The current Gatlin should be above Powell. Compared to Powell, Gatlin is even more powerful in the back 50 meters. It's a shame that such a good athlete uses doping! Zhang Guan felt a little sorry for Gatling in his heart, but the speed under his feet became faster.

In less than a second, the positions of Zhang Guan and Gatling changed, and Zhang Guan had completely surpassed Gatling.

"It's faster! He can be faster! Gatling's pupils reflected Zhang Guan's figure, and at this time he realized that Zhang Guan had not tried his best to run just now.

"There's already such a big gap between us?" Gatlin knew that it was impossible for him to win this game!

Twenty meters from the finish line, Zhang Guan overtook Gatling, and for the 100-meter sprinters, the last twenty meters took less than two seconds! So after more than a second, Zhang Guan was the first to cross the finish line.

"Zhang Guan! It's time to cross the line! Champion! 9.80 seconds! Perfect! Perfect performance! Congratulations to Zhang Guan. He won the men's 100-meter dash at this World Athletics Championships! This is also the first gold medal won by the national team in this World Championships in Athletics, and it is also the first medal! The commentator looked down at the information that had been prepared in his hand, and then said: "Since 1983, when Chinese athletes participated in the World Athletics Championships for the first time, they have experienced a total of nine competitions, and our athletes have won a total of 7 gold medals, and today, Zhang Guan won the 8th gold medal in the history of the World Championships in track and field for my country, and it is also the first gold medal in the World Championships in track and field since entering the 21st century!" ”

The broadcaster's camera finally shifted to Gatlin at this point, and he finished second. His time was 9.84 seconds, which was similar to what he did at the Athens Olympics. Although he didn't win the championship, it at least proved that he could reach the top level in the world without doping.

Third place was not European champion Obikwiru, but the Nigerian athlete, Orusoki Fasuba, who overtook Obikwiru at the last minute to finish third.

A few days later, in the men's 200m, Gatlin won a gold medal over compatriots Sean Crawford and Tyson Gay. Soon after, the IAAF also announced the punishment of Gatlin and decided to give Gatlin a five-year ban.

……

On August 19, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren appeared again at the same time in the IAAF Golden League Zurich Battle, Zhang Guan added another gold medal, but Liu Feiren still failed to win the championship in the Golden League, only won a runner-up.

After this battle, Liu Feiren decided to give up this year's IAAF Golden League competition and began to concentrate on preparing for the Asian Athletics Championships.

Zhang Guan, on the other hand, remained in Europe and prepared to participate in the last two tournaments of the Golden League.

At the same time, in this round of the Golden League, the French female flyer Aaron only ran fourth and withdrew from the competition for millions of dollars.

After that, Zhang Guan missed the IAAF Super Award in Sheffield, which was only one day away from Zurich, and the schedule was too tight, and Zhang Guan also chose to be absent from the next Austrian Grand Prix. He arrived early in Brussels, Belgium, to prepare for the IAAF Golden League in Brussels on August 26.

Arriving a week early, Zhang Guan had plenty of time to familiarise himself with the local environment and get back to fitness, so he once again won the Golden League in Brussels with ease. After the end of the Brussels stop, Zhang Guan has won five of the six tournaments in this year's Golden League, and is only one step away from the million-dollar gold jackpot. (To be continued.) )
