At this time, many athletes on the U.S. team were surrounded by reporters. Winning the championship and being disqualified was more interesting than breaking the world record!
[Many athletes on the U.S. team have been found to have used performance-enhancing drugs. Do you have anything to say about this?]
[The list that was made public by Kirilenko shows that your drug application was approved the day before the Olympics. According to the records, you did not get sick during that time. Did you falsify the medical records?]
[Was the use of performance-enhancing drugs your own decision, your coach's decision, or your country's decision?]
[Hua Xia's new testing method will be used to test urine samples. Did you use performance-enhancing drugs to break the world record last year?]
The U.S. team wanted to cry but had no tears. The list of drug applications released by Russia was not only from U.S. athletes. There were also athletes from many other countries. Britain, Australia, and other countries also had a very high pass rate. Why didn't you interview them?
Just because we were the first to be disqualified from the Olympics? We are still appealing and the final result has not been determined. What are you interviewing?
Also, they felt aggrieved that several athletes who did not win medals were questioned about whether they used performance-enhancing drugs.
What you mean is that we are no match for them even if we used performance-enhancing drugs?!
Also, it was not only U.S. athletes who were found to have used performance-enhancing drugs. Didn't athletes from other countries also get tested?
Why didn't you interview those people? Why did you target the U.S. team?
If it was the previous two Olympics, it would have been fine. We were number one on the gold and medal rankings. It was normal for you to attack us. Number one always has to bear the consequences.
But this time, we are only number two. Hua Xia is number one on both the gold and medal rankings. Why didn't you interview them?
Hua Xia could not even be number three in the past. This time, she suddenly became number one. Why didn't you interview her? Why didn't anyone suspect that Hua Xia athletes used performance-enhancing drugs?
Not only did they win the championship, but they also broke the Olympic record and world record. Why didn't you mention this?
Could it be that because they were the host, they were exempted from testing?
The U.S. athlete who was disqualified from the gold medal was questioned by the reporters. He finally became angry and demanded that all the athletes who won medals be re-tested. This offended all the countries.
What's the matter? You've been reported, and Hua Xia found out that there's something wrong with you, and now you're biting like mad dogs?
It had to be said that the United States, England, and other countries had different systems than Hua Xia. Their athletes had a lot of autonomy during interviews. They often made some shocking remarks or disrupted the harmony of the interview.
However, the athletes on Hua Xia's side were all well-behaved. They had been instructed by the coach to answer all the questions, so they knew how to answer them. They answered according to the instructions they had memorized. If he didn't know how to answer, he just didn't answer.
If anyone dared to answer, they would be banned and expelled from the national team.
In many countries, getting into the national team was based on results, and big-name athletes were very powerful. However, it was different for Hua Xia. In many sports, such as diving, gymnastics, table tennis, and badminton, Hua Xia represented the highest level in the world.
Many people said that some athletes could easily win gold medals in the Olympics and the World Championships, but it was too difficult to win a gold medal in China because there were too many strong athletes in the country.
Moreover, in many sports, Hua Xia had professional training partners. If they imitated the playing style of foreign athletes, they would have no hope of winning a gold medal in their lifetime.
Therefore, most of the athletes on Hua Xia's side were trained by the system. For example, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi played in the NBA, and they had to hand in a portion of their salaries as training fees.
Because when they were in China, the resources were indeed tilted towards them. Moreover, the country also gave them free publicity, which could increase their market value. If they spent money on publicity, it would be a huge sum.
It was like a management company training trainees. After the company made money, they had to pay the training fees first. This was also why many trainees had very low salaries when they first started out.
If one were to say that it was reasonable, it seemed reasonable. If one were to say that it was unreasonable, it would be because the price was too high. Moreover, the training fees for those who had no results were also shared with the athletes who had results.
Of course, in this life, with Feng Yu's intervention, the training fees were not as high. Because many of the athletes were trained by Feng Yu, Feng Yu should get the lion's share of the training fees.
But no matter what, Hua Xia's General Administration of Sport still had a lot of power. It could decide the career of an athlete. For example, the Prince of Diving, Tian Liang, was forced to retire.
Because even if you did not retire, you would not be able to participate in the Olympics or any other competitions. The national team had many talents, and they were all top-notch internationally.
Hua Xia's athletes were well-behaved, but many of the American athletes were trained by their own coaches. The team events were managed by a club, and it had little to do with the country.
Athletes were more free, and there were often some young athletes who said shocking things. In the foreign media, this was also the embodiment of free will.
But these words had to be said on different occasions. If you won the championship with your own abilities, it was fine to say some arrogant words. Even if everyone disliked you, they could not do anything about it.
But if it was proven that you won the championship with performance-enhancing drugs, and you refused to admit it, you even said that many people had done it. That would be like poking a hornet's nest.
[US athletes say that athletes from other countries are also using performance-enhancing drugs.]
[US athletes refuse to admit their mistakes and may face a lifetime ban.]
[US team is proven to have many athletes using performance-enhancing drugs. Kirilenko asks: "Is this the tradition of the US team?"]
Now, other countries were besieging the US team. Now that you are being investigated, you start to bite us? This was a classic case of not letting others have an easy time!
The US team was in a terrible situation. Every athlete was surrounded by reporters. They hated that big-mouthed guy. You are not clean, so why are you biting others?
Now, not only were we all tested, some other countries said that the tests were not detailed enough. They even offered a variety of testing methods, specifically targeting the US athletes!
As this incident involved many countries, and it happened at the Olympics, and Hua Xia's Olympic Committee was very powerful, the attention of the Olympics skyrocketed.
Many people waited every day to see which athlete's results were invalidated, and which lucky person went from silver to gold. The news related to the Olympics finally suppressed the news about the US economic crisis.
The higher-ups told Feng Yu through Wen Dongjun that the effect was very good. Now, Hua Xia's Olympic Games had become synonymous with fairness and justice. It would definitely be remembered by history.
Yes, it also dealt a blow to the US team. Perhaps the Americans would remember it more deeply.
