Sebastian held the steering wheel with both hands but did not start the car. His favorite jazz music sounded from the car's stereo, but he felt that the music was extremely harsh and would only make him feel upset.
"19 seconds 93 is definitely the level of a world champion. Now that Gittel has retired, it is possible to win a gold medal with this result in the Olympics, at least a medal."
"Sean Ford's time of 19.93 seconds shows that he has been in very good form recently. As long as he can continue this form, even if his speed is slightly slower, he will definitely be able to qualify in the Olympic trials. That is to say, the Olympic Games One of the quotas for the 200-meter event has been reserved in advance by Sean Ford."
"But the crux of the question is, why did Sean Ford suddenly run so fast? If he could really run so fast, what had he been doing in the past few years? Let alone within 20 seconds, even within 20 seconds and 10, in Across the United States, we can win championships!"
"Since winning the World Championships, Sean Ford has not achieved good results. I have almost forgotten this person. Now he suddenly rises again without any warning in advance. There is a problem here, there must be a problem! If I guessed right, the problem lies with the Chinese Li."
"It can be said that Alexander returned to competitive form so quickly before. It can be said to be luck or coincidence. But now Sean Ford has regained the results of the world championship. Two athletes in a row have said this. How can it be a coincidence? That Dai Li must have doped the athletes, otherwise this situation would never have happened."
When Sebastian thought of this, he suddenly felt a little bad. He felt that the stimulants used by Li Dai on athletes must be very powerful, which is why a washed-up athlete like Sean Ford could rediscover the world. Championship status.
"No, I have to notify the Franklin Laboratory. I have to find out what that Dai Li used for the athletes." Sebastian picked up the phone and dialed Franklin's number...
…
The day's training was over, and Ford dragged his tired body to Alexander.
"Justin, I'm going to give you a lift to the station in a minute. I sent my car to a modification shop." Sean Ford said apologetically.
"No problem, I'll take you there." Alexander nodded: "But you have to wait for me for five minutes. I'll go to the bathroom first."
"The pipe in the men's restroom in the restroom over there is broken. When I went there an hour ago, maintenance workers were inspecting it. You'd better go to the restroom outside." Ford said casually.
"It broke again. It breaks very often." Alexander continued: "I remember that not long ago, the men's toilet was broken once. There was also a plumber repairing it, but the plumber was gay. I boo. When I was shushing, he was always staring at me, which made me feel uncomfortable.”
"Is the person you are talking about so tall, a little thin, with brown hair and a beard on his upper lip?" Ford said while gesturing with his hands.
"Yes, that's what it looks like." Alexander obviously did not forget the appearance of the plumber, and he then asked: "Have you encountered it too?"
"It seems that we met the same person. Damn it, I met a gay guy when I went to the toilet, and he looked at him for so long." Ford then started to spray dirty words. He obviously didn't care about gay guys. Half a favor.
…
Andrew is an investigator for an investigation company. He has met many strange clients and received many strange commissions. For example, he was recently asked to obtain a urine sample from an athlete.
That "investigation" did not give Andrew a good work experience. He disguised himself as a pipe repairman and successfully obtained the athlete's urine sample, but he was also regarded as gay by the other party.
Andrew originally thought that he would never receive a similar commission again, but what he didn't expect was that not long after, he received the same commission to obtain another athlete's urine sample.
So Andrew had to repeat his old tricks and pretend to be a pipe repairman again.
As a male, and not a urologist, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to stare at someone of the same sex peeing.
This time, Andrew succeeded in making the sample angry, but he would never forget the look in the athlete's eyes when he looked at him.
It was a look that looked at a gay man, full of ridicule, disdain and disgust. There is no doubt that this athlete also regarded Andrew as a GAY.
Andrew felt that his dignity had been trampled on.
"Damn it, I swear, I will never accept this kind of commission again!"
…
Franklin held a test report and looked a little serious.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Sebastian asked eagerly.
Franklin shook his head: "The test result of Sean Ford is the same as that of Justin Alexander last time. Everything is normal."
The two people in the room fell silent at the same time, until half a minute later, Franklin took the lead and asked: "Are you sure that Sean Ford has used doping?"
"What else? I can't think of other possibilities." Sebastian continued: "Alexander's last incident can be explained by luck or coincidence, but do you think this kind of luck or coincidence will appear twice in a row? ? What’s more, Ford is different from Alexander. Before Alexander was suspended, he was the world’s top sprinter and the number one flyer in the United States, but what about Sean Ford?”
"Over the years, he has been unknown. He can only be regarded as an ordinary first-class player. But after changing coaches, he suddenly became a world champion. Just imagine, if Ford himself is good enough, then the previous few Why didn't he get any good results in 2018? So I can only think that the Chinese Li gave them doping, so their results will improve rapidly!"
Franklin sighed softly: "I admit that what you said makes sense. Once can be said to be a coincidence, but if it happens twice in a row, there is a high probability that it is caused by human factors. However, we have not detected anything related to doping. , not at all!”
"Is it possible that Dai Li has more advanced technology in his hands?" Sebastian asked.
"Impossible, our technical level is the best in the world." When it comes to technology, Franklin once again showed confidence.
"Is it possible that he is using a new type of stimulant, which does not belong to the seven categories we have known before, and this stimulant is very effective, like..." Sebastian thought After thinking for a while, he continued: "For example, the serum used by Captain America can strengthen the body!"
"That's just something that exists in comics and movies. How could there be that kind of serum in reality?" Franklin's voice suddenly paused. He seemed to have thought of something. Then he lowered his voice and continued: "But what you said is not unreasonable. Logically speaking, it is said that the military studied so-called 'super soldiers' during the Cold War, and it was the Soviet Union that was the first to use steroid stimulants. At that time, the Soviet Union's original intention of studying steroid stimulants was to create a group of more powerful soldiers. As a result, the research results are ultimately used in athletes.”
"It sounds like it gives me a creepy feeling," Sebastian said. His generation has experienced the Cold War, the period when the Soviet Union was at its most powerful, and militarily overwhelmed the United States. Therefore, Sebastian has an innate fear of the Soviet Union, even though the Soviet Union had already disintegration.
Franklin went on to say: "In the United States, Europe and even Japan, the processes of many laboratories are transparent. Of course, this transparency is not real-time, but every once in a while, the laboratories will display their scientific research results. This is both Give investors an explanation and get more experimental funds. But this is not the case in the red countries in the east. Their laboratories are all state-owned, and the government provides funds for the laboratories, and many experimental processes are also It's confidential. If they don't register a patent, we won't know what they're researching. As far as I know, Dai Li is from that country, so we can't rule out that Dai Li's hand is really There is a new type of stimulant. Although it may not have the same effect as Captain America's serum, the effect is also excellent."
"Then what should we do?" Sebastian asked.
"We first need to confirm whether he really has a new type of stimulant in his hands." Franklin looked at Sebastian seriously, and then said: "I will continue to hire an investigation company to investigate, but you You have to help me too.”
"How do you want me to help you?" Sebastian asked.
"You will become the head coach of the U.S. Track and Field Team soon, right? I think your new identity will allow you to get some useful information." Franklin said.
…
Indianapolis, Indiana, home to USATF's national offices.
USATF CEO Williams personally handed a letter of appointment to Sebastian and said at the same time: "Coach Sebastian, congratulations on becoming the new head coach of the US National Track and Field Team."
"Thank you. I will definitely work hard and strive to achieve better results in the Olympics." Sebastian accepted the appointment letter as head coach.
Williams smiled and continued: "Coach Sebastian, although the Olympic trials have not started yet, I still want to hear your plans for this national team, especially in what aspects, we will There has been a breakthrough. You know, this is what the public cares about the most. They want to see our progress and see our athletes achieve better results."
"I think that in the men's sprint event, we will definitely be better than the previous two Olympics, and even hope to regain the gold medal." Sebastian began to talk: "In the recent Olympic Games, Jamaica has been Beating our American team in the sprint event. But now, Gittel has retired, and he will not participate in this Olympics. Therefore, in the three events of men's 100 meters, men's 200 meters and men's 4x100 meters We definitely have a chance to compete for the gold medal. Next, my focus will shift to these three projects, and I will regain the gold medal!”
"Your ideas coincide with those of the association. In fact, one of the reasons why we chose you as the head coach of the national team this time is because you have rich coaching experience in sprint events. I hope you can contribute to the national team in this regard." Bring breakthroughs." Williams smiled and nodded, then asked: "So, what are your insights on the 400 meters?"
"The 400 meters has always been our strongest event. We have dominated the 400 meters in the Olympic Games for 30 years. We even had the experience of winning three gold, silver and bronze medals in one Olympic Games. In this event, we The athletes are also at the top level in the world, such as Stephenson, Lamberth, Cole, Miller... any one of them has the ability to win the Olympic championship." Sebastian continued.
"What about Alvin?" Williams then asked.
Sebastian was suddenly surprised: "Alvin? Are you talking about Jimmy Irvine? He retired three years ago, right?"
"It seems you don't know yet. You must not have watched the news this morning." Williams said with a smile.
Sebastian nodded: "Yes, sir, I came on an early morning flight today and didn't bother to watch the news. Did something important happen?"
"A very important thing did happen. Jimmy Irvin announced his comeback!" Williams replied.
…
Sebastian's mood was very complicated because Alvin announced his comeback.
Alvin is a legendary athlete, but Sebastian is not a legendary coach. This makes Sebastian feel like a small horse pulling a big cart. You must know that the bigger the athlete, the harder it is to tame him. Sebastian was a little worried that he couldn't control Alvin.
"Irvin has retired for three years, and he is almost 35 years old. According to this age, his career should have ended long ago! Maybe I am just unfounded. He may not even be able to pass the selection threshold. I can’t make it to this national team.”
Just as Sebastian was thinking about it, his cell phone rang, it was his assistant calling.
"Coach, I have inquired about everything. In the early hours of the morning, Jimmy Irvine announced on his social media that he was coming back and would participate in the Olympic trials. According to rumors, Irvin had already announced his comeback a few months ago. We have already started to resume normal training," the assistant said.
"Have you been training for several months? I didn't expect the information to be blocked very tightly. Have you ever found out whether he is training by himself or has found a new coach?"
"I have inquired. Alvin is training at the training center of the Chinese American Li in Los Angeles." The assistant replied.
"Dai Li? Why is it still him! Why is he everywhere!" Sebastian couldn't help but exclaimed, and his mood became even worse.
