In the sports stadium, in the reporter interview area, Duke hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone and made a call. After being connected for a long time, Duke said cautiously: "Editor-in-Chief, I am Duke."
"Damn it, Duke, do you know what time it is in the United States now? You disturbed my dream! I was about to go to bed with Britney in my dream just now!" The other party showed an annoyed voice, and then said: "If you can't give it to me For a reasonable reason, I will copy you!"
"I'm sorry editor-in-chief, there are some special circumstances here." Duke cleared his throat and continued: "That Chinese, that Chinese named Zhang Guan, he broke the world record!"
The editor on the phone was stunned for a few seconds, and then cursed: "Asshole, Duke, you bastard! Of course I know that the Chinese broke the world record, and I also know that he won the Olympic championship! You are still living in the Middle Ages What! I don’t need you, a bastard, to tell you this news from a month ago! I swear, I will definitely fire you!”
"Editor-in-Chief, no, it's not the Olympics, it was just now. I mean just now, at the Athletics Federation All-Star Game, the Chinese Zhang Guan broke the 100-meter dash world record again! The time was 9.76 seconds !" Duke explained hurriedly.
"What did you say? You meant 'again', did I hear you correctly? God! It's only been a month! That Chinese broke the Olympic record twice in one month! How is it possible? No one in this world can Do it!" The editor-in-chief seemed to have lost all sleep and started chattering to himself.
A minute later, the editor finally finished nagging, and he scolded Duke again: "Duke, what are you doing standing still now? Go and do the interview! A new world record has been set in the men's 100 meters! This is the headline. Yes. , we want to make this a headline!"
"Editor-in-Chief, what about the doping issue? You promised me before that the Hungarian doping scandal would make sports headlines!" Duke said.
"The Hungarian doping scandal? Damn the doping scandal! There are several doping scandals in the United States every year! What's so strange? It's just that the protagonist changed his name! What I want now is the world record report, Duke , listen clearly, this is a world record report! In front of the new 100-meter dash world record, no one will care about the doping scandal of the damn hammer thrower! The Hungarian who took doping, and the substitute who won the championship The Japanese, who are they? I don’t know them at all! I don’t want to know who they are! What I want now is the news about the ‘fastest man in the world’!” The editor calmed down and continued Said: "Duke, a doping scandal, can at best be regarded as the headline of the sports page, but the new world record of the 100-meter dash is qualified to be the headline! Front page headline, do you understand? Duke, your The report may become the front page headline of our newspaper!”
"Headlines!" Duke suddenly became excited. As a sports reporter, he was envious of the fact that reporters covering politics could easily get so many front pages. In political news, the Japanese Prime Minister shook hands with the dog raised by the President of the United States. All can be on the front page. But the interviews he worked hard to do could only stay in the sports section very far back.
The temptation of the front page headlines instantly knocked Duke over, and he said: "Okay, editor-in-chief, I understand, I will interview China Zhang right away!"
"Good, Duke, put that damn doping scandal aside, don't think about it, and go interview China Zhang, who broke the world record twice in such a short period of time, which no one has ever done. Yes! You are a reporter, and you have to interview what the audience wants to see, so that you can realize your value." The editor started chattering again.
"Editor-in-Chief, I understand. Please stop talking. You should continue to sleep now. Britney is still waiting for you in your dream!"
…
When Duke quickly ran to Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan was already surrounded by a large number of reporters.
Breaking the world record in the men's 100-meter dash twice in one month is something no one has ever been able to do. To reach the world record level, every 0.01 second of progress may take "years" to wait.
"Congratulations, Zhang Guan, you broke the world record again! You created another miracle!" a reporter said.
"A miracle? No! I said at the Olympics a month ago that this is not a miracle!" Zhang Guan waved his hand: "I have this strength. I am the fastest person in the world, so of course the world record is set by I'll break it!"
The reporter who asked this question suddenly turned red. He did not expect that Zhang Guan would answer like this. Every athlete who breaks a world record looks like he has been kissed by the goddess of luck. How could it be so natural as Zhang Guan? .
At this time, Zhang Guan continued: "I have seen some people saying that it was a coincidence that I won the championship in the Olympics and broke the world record because of good luck. Then I will break the world record again today. If If you still think this is a coincidence, there will definitely be a third or fourth time in the future... So don't talk about coincidences, luck, or miracles. What I believe in is strength! I believe that in the near future, the whole world will get used to it. I will continue to Let’s set a new world record!”
"Oh... what is this? A speech for breaking the world record? How could anyone say such a speech? It's so arrogant! But it's also so personal! I like this personality!" Duke opened his mouth in surprise, and then Du Ke realized that young people in the United States will definitely like this kind of celebrity with personality. The pursuit of individuality and self-expression is the mainstream culture of young people in the United States and even around the world.
…
Kondo Labs.
This All-Star Game is different from the Olympic Games. The organizers have collected specimens from all athletes. At this time, the urine samples of eight participating athletes in the 100-meter dash are being tested.
"Are the results out? Are there any stimulant reactions?" Kamezo Kondo asked anxiously.
"It will be out soon." The assistant in front stared at the computer screen carefully, waiting for the results to appear.
"It must be measured, it must be measured!" Kondo Kamezo began to pray in his heart. He was so worried that he would not be able to test doping at all, so it would not only be a failure for him, but also a blow to his self-confidence.
"It's out!" The assistant pointed to the detection status generated on the computer screen, and then shouted: "It's been detected, it's been detected! There is a reaction in the sample!"
"It's really detected, what is it?" Kondo Kamezo asked immediately.
"From the molecular structure, this is a steroid." The assistant said.
Kondo Kamezo immediately stepped forward, looked at it carefully, and then said: "This is tetrahydroethylhydroxydinorgestrin. This thing is very complicated. It should be the latest type of stimulant. No wonder the Olympics It cannot be detected when it is used. We in Japan cannot develop this. I used to think that only Americans could develop this new type of steroid, but I didn’t expect that the Chinese technology has advanced so fast!”
After Kondo Kamezo finished speaking, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number of the deputy minister's office. In less than a minute, the call came into the deputy minister's office.
"Your Excellency, Deputy Chief, I am Kondo Kamezo."
"Dr. Kondo, how is the situation? Has it been detected?" the deputy chief asked.
"Yes, we have detected a stimulant reaction. It is tetrahydroethylhydroxydinorgestrinone, the latest type of steroid. This thing is very complicated and has a very high technological content. Even Americans may not be able to detect it. Come out." Kondo Kamezo said proudly.
"Great, Dr. Kondo, prepare the test report immediately. We are going to hold a press conference to inform the world about this scandal!" The deputy chief's voice suddenly became excited.
"Don't worry, Deputy Chief. I'll prepare a test report immediately." Kondo Kamezo hung up the phone and said, "Prepare a detailed test report for me."
"Okay doctor. Do you want all of them?" the assistant asked.
"Of course. Wait, what does all mean?" Kondo Kamezo said.
"I mean all the reports. We just tested a total of eight samples, and the one that tested positive for doping was sample No. 4. So I would like to ask if the other seven samples also need test reports," the assistant said.
"Just issue Zhang Guan's report." Kondo Kamezo said.
"Okay." The assistant took out the list of athletes and compared it, and then said: "Issue the report of sample No. 5."
"Wait a minute!" Kamezo Kondo shouted to his assistant: "Didn't you just say that the problem was with Sample No. 4?"
The assistant nodded, picked up the list, took a look at it, and then continued: "Zhang Guan is indeed sample No. 5, and there is nothing wrong with him. Sample No. 4 is Justin Gatlin..."
"What!" Kondo Kamezo almost jumped up. He ran to the computer and started operating it himself, and the result made him almost cry. Zhang Guan's urine sample test was normal, but the person who tested positive for steroid use was Justin Gatlin.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that the problem was Gatlin? What I want is not Gatling, what I want is Zhang Guan!" Kondo Kamezo roared.
"Professor, our equipment is sorted by number. Only the number appears on the computer, and matching the number to the athlete requires manual operation. We have just tested the sample for doping reactions, and we haven't had time to match the number to the athlete. ." The assistant said with an aggrieved look.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Kondo Kamezo suddenly had the urge to commit suicide. Originally, I wanted to investigate Zhang Guan, but instead I found the Japanese American father. Once this result is announced, it will be a slap in the face of Americans.
The Japanese can offend the whole world, but they dare not offend the Americans.
"Why don't we reverse the test results of Zhang Guan and Gatlin!" Kondo Kamezo suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, but then immediately rejected the idea. The urine sample was divided into two parts and stored. If the first sample was checked If there is a problem, another institution will have to test the second sample, and coaches and athletes are allowed to supervise the entire process of sample collection and testing on site. If the two test results are different, the truth will soon be revealed. So swapping the test results is of no use at all.
"I have to call the Deputy Minister quickly, we can't hold a press conference!" Kondo Kamezo hurriedly picked up the phone...
