The endless scandals at the London Olympics have given International Olympic Committee President Rogge a headache. He even began to worry about the next Brazilian Olympics.
The phone rang, and Roger immediately picked up the receiver.
"Mr. Chairman, I have something to report to you. Regarding the previous scandal in gymnastics, according to your instructions, we issued a warning to the London Olympic Organizing Committee by conducting drug tests on British athletes."
"Did you really find out something?" Rogge asked.
"Yes, the previous gold medalist in the track cycling women's team pursuit, Laura Trott, tested positive."
"Laura Trotter, I remember this athlete. She is called the most beautiful woman in track cycling, right?" Rogge asked.
"You are right, the British did call her that. She had a positive urine test in 2009."
"That means he has a criminal record!" Rogge said unhappily. He thought for a while and said: "Inform the London Olympic Organizing Committee about this matter and let them handle it!"
"Leave it to the London Olympic Organizing Committee? Mr. President, with all due respect, Laura Trott is a British athlete, and she also won a gold medal for Britain. If she used doping, the gold medal for Britain would be She will also be deprived of it, so I think the British Olympic Organizing Committee will definitely protect her in every possible way."
"I know that handing it over to the London Olympic Organizing Committee is equivalent to letting the London Olympic Organizing Committee act as both an athlete and a referee. Laura Trott will definitely be fine. But don't forget, it is the time of the London Olympics after all. There are some things that we still have to take into account the British face." Rogge sighed helplessly, and then said: "Leave this matter to the British Olympic Organizing Committee. Sebastian has been in charge of the IAAF for many years. , we can definitely give a reasonable explanation.”
…
Sebastian was naturally furious when he learned that Zhang Guan had defeated Kenny. However, this time he did not go to see Zhang Guan's post-match interview. The main reason was that the TV remote control was stolen by Sebastian. I broke it and it hasn't been repaired yet. If Sebastian watches the TV interview, he will definitely hear Zhang Guan's "thank you" to him again.
However, something even more "bad" happened for Sebastian. The Anti-Doping Committee of the International Olympic Committee sent a report. Laura Trott, the champion of the track cycling women's team pursuit, was Doping detected.
Laura Trott is a player with a history of doping, and she also won a gold medal for Great Britain this time. If she is found guilty of doping, Great Britain will definitely lose the gold medal, so Sebas No matter what, Tian will keep this gold medal for Britain.
"The International Olympic Committee handed this matter over to us, the London Olympic Organizing Committee, because it was also taking into account the host's face. We owe Rogge another favor!" Sebastian sighed and called his assistant. , and said: "Go find Sutton, the head coach of the track cycling team, and ask him to prepare a medication application for Laura Trott. The time was written three months ago. Get it here when you are ready. I will cover it." Zhang, apply for a doping exemption for Laura Trott.”
The assistant hesitated. He knew that this was a forged document, which was not only a moral issue, but could also be classified as a crime. However, since it was Sebastian's order, he still carried out the request.
Many times, the drugs used to treat diseases also contain stimulant ingredients. For example, many drugs used to treat high blood pressure contain diuretics, and diuretics are a type of stimulant and are not allowed to be used by athletes.
Athletes are also human beings, and they will naturally get sick. They also need to take medicine after getting sick, so they often encounter medicines containing stimulant ingredients. However, when you are sick, you must treat your illness. At this time, athletes can apply to the governing body for medication, and exempt certain doping ingredients based on the ingredients of the drug. This is the so-called "doping exemption."
Of course, if an athlete secretly uses exempted doping, the governing body or anti-doping organization will have no way to verify it, so many netizens jokingly call it "doping with a license."
Track and field has always been a disaster area for doping. As the president of the IAAF, Sebastian is extremely skilled at the trick of doping immunity. So when he learned that Laura Trott had been tested for doping, he immediately decided to forge a medication application and grant Laura Trott a doping exemption.
…
In the evening, Zhang Guan participated in another boxing quarter-final.
When I returned to my apartment, I saw the Belgian cyclist Gilbert already waiting there.
"Zhang! You're finally back!" Gilbert immediately greeted you and said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm going back to Belgium tomorrow."
"It's a pity that I have a game tomorrow and can't see you off. I wish you a safe journey!" Zhang Guan said.
"Thank you. Thank you." Gilbert continued, "I was referring to the last parade. Thank you for participating."
"Don't say that, I am also a cyclist. Besides, our parade did not have any effect." Zhang Guan spread his hands and said.
"The London Olympic Organizing Committee is so shameless! I just heard that the anti-doping agency found out that Laura Trott was doping, and the London Olympic Organizing Committee immediately gave her a doping exemption!" Gilbert said angrily.
"Laura Trotter?" Zhang Guan repeated the name, feeling somewhat impressed.
"You may not know her, but she is a British track cyclist, known as the most beautiful track cyclist! By the way, the Kenny you defeated today seems to be her boyfriend." Gilbert explained.
"It's her!" After Gilbert's reminder, Zhang Guan had already remembered who Laura Trotter was.
Laura Trotter is called the "first goddess" of track cycling, and she and Kenny are also called the champion couple. If there is no Zhang Guan, after the next Olympic Games, this couple will win a total of 10 Olympic gold medals.
Because Laura Trott is very good-looking, at least Europeans like this kind of classical-style beauties, so Laura Trott is also quite popular in the UK. Even His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the UK once Invite her to watch the game.
As for Laura Trott’s doping, it is not groundless, but is based on facts. As early as 2009, she was tested positive for doping, but she was not famous at that time. The most well-known doping incident about her was the revelation by the Russian hacker group "Fantasy Bear" after the Rio Olympics.
At the Rio Olympics, the IAAF banned the Russian track and field team from participating on the grounds that the Russian track and field team used doping on a large scale. The International Olympic Committee even almost banned the entire Russian team from participating in the Rio Olympics.
The fighting nation quickly retaliated. After the Olympics, a Russian hacker group called "Fantasy Bear" hacked into the International Olympic Committee's computers and found a large number of European and American athletes' records about "doping exemptions." These Obviously they are all athletes who use doping legally, and most of them are athletes from the United States, Britain and Australia.
Laura Trott is one of them. Her name appears in the third batch of lists released by "Fantasy Bear", and she is also the most famous among them.
"The doping immunity incident! How could I forget this? Maybe this is a way to oust Sebastian! But we need to find a helper." At this time, Zhang Guan suddenly felt enlightened. Feel.
…
The last IAAF president was Senegalese Diack, who has been living in France since he stepped down as IAAF president.
Diack, who was born in 1933, is 79 years old. At this age, he has lost a lot of sleep, so he got up early in the morning, and after a brief wash, he was ready to have breakfast.
At this moment, the phone rang, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the phone.
Diack still uses a feature phone. It is very difficult for people of his age to accept smartphones.
"Unrecognized number? Who could it be? Advertising? No, this seems to be a foreign number." Diack hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone.
"Hello, Chairman Diack, I am Zhang Guan. You personally awarded me the Golden League Grand Prize back then. Do you still remember me?" Zhang Guan's voice came from the phone.
"Zhang Guan!" Diack was a little surprised. He said, "Of course I remember you! Young man, long time no see, why do you suddenly think of me, an old man? Oh, I am no longer the president of the IAAF. I Just an old man who retired at home."
After Zhang Guan and Diack exchanged a few more polite words, they began to get down to business.
"Chairman Diack, I have some very unfavorable news for you." Zhang Guan said.
Diack was shocked, and he immediately asked: "What's the news?"
"The IAAF wants to investigate you. It's about black money and bribery." Zhang Guan said.
"Oh?" Although Diak made a questioning tone, he was already nervous in his heart.
Although Diack has resigned, he has been in charge of the IAAF for ten years, coupled with his previous years as vice president, he will naturally cultivate a large number of cronies in the IAAF, so he has already received the news and knows The IAAF wants to investigate its own bribery, but Sebastian is busy with the London Olympics and has not spared time yet. After the London Olympics, Sebastian will definitely put the investigation on the agenda.
"How did Zhang Guan know about this matter, and how much more does he know?" Diack thought anxiously. He wished that Zhang Guan could reveal more information, but he had to pretend that he didn't know.
Just listening to the phone call, Zhang Guan continued: "As far as I know, the IAAF is investigating mainly in two directions. One is the delayed doping test of Russian athletes, and the other is the declaration for the Rio Olympics. In addition, There are also bits and pieces like the rights to broadcast track and field events.”
"What? Zhang Guan actually knows so much!" Diack's heart was already in turmoil.
At that time, a large number of Russian track and field athletes were tested for doping problems. Diack helped Russia in the re-test. He deliberately delayed the re-test and received more than one million euros from Russia.
Diack was also a member of the Olympic Examination Committee, so when Rio was bidding to host the Olympics, Brazil paid Diack's son Diack Jr. $1.5 million as public relations fees in exchange for Diack's support for Rio. support. As for the upcoming bid for the 2020 Olympic Games, Tokyo has also approached Diack and is preparing to pay Diack to support Tokyo.
As for the broadcast rights of track and field events, it is nothing more than Diack collecting money from several TV stations and then selling the broadcast rights of track and field events at a low price.
Of course, the bribes Diack accepted are far more than these. After being the president of the IAAF for so many years, Diack has made a lot of money. If this is really found out, not only Diack himself will go to jail, but also His son Diack Jr. also had to be imprisoned for a few years.
"These are all unfounded things and slander!" Diack said righteously, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
At the same time, Diack's tone also became quite unkind. He thought Zhang Guan wanted to continue this matter and blackmail him.
Zhang Guan smiled slightly and said, "I believe you are innocent, but will Sebastian believe it? After the London Olympics, he will still start the investigation process."
"Then let him investigate. I haven't done anything before, so what are you afraid of?" Diack said forcefully.
"That's right!" Zhang Guan paused and then said, "I originally thought you wanted to oust Sebastian!"
"Once the IAAF president is elected, he will definitely be eligible for re-election. All previous IAAF presidents have worked until retirement. Sebastian is still under sixty years old, and he is still early to retire! "Diak's words suddenly stopped, and he suddenly thought of another possibility.
"Do you mean to force Sebastian to resign voluntarily, or to initiate impeachment proceedings? Do you have something against him?" Diack asked. After all, he has been the chairman of the IAAF for decades, and he understood Zhang Guan's intention after thinking carefully.
"Yes." Zhang Guan admitted simply, and then said: "It's about doping immunity."
"Doping exemption? As far as I know, Sebastian has indeed signed a lot in the past two years, but is this a problem? Athletes who apply for drugs must follow the procedures, and there is also a doctor's diagnosis on them , If someone commits fraud, it should be the responsibility of the doctors and athletes, and Sebastian cannot be found responsible." Diack said.
"But as far as I know, this doping exemption is not available to everyone. In Russia, more than 200 people apply for it every year, and probably less than 10 of them are approved," Zhang Guan said.
"This is not a problem. He is the president of the IAAF. He has the right to reject any athlete's application." Diack said.
"But there were also nearly two hundred track and field athletes in the UK who applied, but almost all of them were approved!" Zhang Guan said.
"Oh? Really? Is your information accurate?" Diak asked.
"You should be better at collecting specific data than I am. I think if this news is announced, it will be enough to be used as a reason to impeach Sebastian, right?" Zhang Guan said.
Zhang Guan's news came from the revelations of the later Russian hacker "Fantasy Bear". According to the data provided by "Fantasy Bear", almost all athletes who can pass doping exemptions are American, British and Australian athletes, while there are almost no Russian athletes. People apply.
After this news appeared, of course there was an uproar around the world. The whole world knows that the IAAF and the International Olympic Committee have double standards when it comes to doping. The United States, the United Kingdom and Australia can use doping by writing an application, while The Russians would not approve any application. When it came time to compete, everyone used stimulants. The United States, Britain and Australia all won gold medals, but Russia was directly banned.
If you compare the doping immunity obtained by the United Kingdom and the doping immunity obtained by Russia separately, it seems very intuitive. In terms of track and field athletes, the passing rate of British athletes is almost 100%, while the passing rate of Russian athletes is almost 100%. is zero.
This is enough to make a big fuss about it. As the chairman of an international organization, the most important thing is to treat all member states equally, and at least on the surface it should be equal. For example, when the South Korean president of the United Nations encountered the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, he was extremely cautious and tried to stand as neutral as possible, for fear that a slight tilt in his stance would cause big trouble.
Sebastian is a British person. If he uses his status as IAAF chairman to seek benefits for the United Kingdom, that will be enough to be a reason for impeachment.
For example, when it comes to doping exemptions, everyone follows procedures, and the IAAF also follows procedures for approval. But once there is a comparison, it gives people a different feeling. The applications from the British were approved, but the applications from other countries were not approved. People naturally thought that it was the British chairman Sebastian who gave the green light to his compatriots!
If it were a few years later, Sebastian would already be in power, and Diack would be arrested by the French police for taking bribes. The same thing would not harm Sebastian, and no one would impeach him.
But the current situation is different. Diack still has several titles on his body, and he also has cronies within the IAAF. However, Sebastian still wants to investigate Diack's corruption. Self-protection will inevitably lead to the impeachment of Sebastian.
Diack will not miss this opportunity. For Diack, if Sebastian does not step down, he is afraid that he will go to jail.
