Chapter 30 Drug Testing

At 8 a.m. on August 5, Finnish time, Su Feng and others had just left the airport and were about to take the organizer's bus to the competition station and see the local scenery. Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang were suddenly caught by the IAAF people.

They asked Su Feng and the others to go to the International Athletics Federation office for drug examination immediately.

"This is not over yet?" Su Feng immediately broke out after hearing the news. He had already experienced a flight inspection in the United States. This time he came. What is the American media trying to do?

With such a sudden request, Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang naturally would not follow each other directly, even if the other party has a certificate.

As the team leader, Zhang Guozheng quickly contacted the Helsinki Municipal Government, the organizer of the event, and then contacted the IAAF who assisted in hosting the World Championships through the municipal government.

After Zhang Guozheng negotiated with the staff for more than ten minutes, he finally understood the whole story.

This is not a conspiracy caused by the IAAF under pressure from the United States, but something happened.

The famous "Balker Laboratory Doping Scandal" in later generations was exposed.

Many sprinters around the world have been implicated, causing the image and credibility of the entire track and field event to decline sharply.

When people watch competitive sports competitions, especially track and field events, they are actually the limits of sports that humans can reach. If they use stimulants, they will all be fake. What else does it mean?

Therefore, in order to restore credibility, the IAAF immediately decided to increase the inspection of stimulants.

Especially celebrity athletes and athletes who are improving quickly.

If it is found out, it will naturally be a punishment. If it is not found out, it will prove that the athlete's performance is real and can greatly restore the image of the athlete and the IAAF.

So it's not just Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang, but Justin Gatlin of the United States, and Asafa Powell, who just broke the world record, did not miss any of these people, and were all urgently notified to conduct flight inspections.

After knowing the specific reason, Su Feng and others naturally took the bus to the testing location prepared by the IAAF and conducted the testing one by one.

Both of them had a clear conscience and the food they usually ate was prepared by the team, so there was absolutely no problem. After knowing that they were not targeted, they did a test according to the procedures.

The results will be known immediately by the preliminary test. Both of them are negative. The subsequent test will be conducted by a professional laboratory contacted by the International Athletics Federation, but the possibility of problems is unlikely. After all, the preliminary test is already very comprehensive.

After learning the results, the entire Chinese delegation breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang are not only two of the three gold-winning players in the Chinese team that can be seen in this World Championships, but also their influence in China is no longer as simple as athletes.

They have become the business card of the country and the role model for thousands of young people to learn from. If there is a scandal of using stimulants, it will definitely have a huge impact on the country.

Fortunately, everything is fine.

However, this sudden mandatory test can easily make people feel emotional. After such a fuss, everyone did not see Helsinki's mood and immediately contacted the bus to the Chinese delegation's headquarters for rest.

The next day, Su Feng and others went to the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki for adaptive training.

During this period, Su Feng also met Gatlin. After the two said hello, they talked about yesterday's flight inspection issue.

Gatlin is relatively steady among black people, but he still inherits the characteristics of black people's emotions and denounces yesterday's test.

After staying in the stadium for three or four hours, Su Feng and others returned to the base and waited for the start of tomorrow's game.

Finland has a small population, but all the people love sports very much. The upcoming World Championships are the largest sports event they have held in recent years.

Therefore, on the third day, the day when the World Championships began, in Helsinki, whether it is tall buildings, buildings, classical buildings, or blocks and alleys, the logo of the World Championships can be seen everywhere.

There are countless tourists from all over the world, and hotels of all sizes have long been full.

Su Feng also learned from the news that for the safety of the World Championships, Finland not only mobilized police from all over the country, but also sent a regiment of military troops to assist in the security of the Olympic Stadium.

This is enough to show the Finnish government's attention to this international sporting event.

Su Feng was a person who had experienced two Olympic Games in his country and participated in the Athens Olympic Games personally, so he naturally understood this very well.

This is not only about a country's international image.

During this large-scale sports event, there will be a large number of people flowing, and if you are not careful, there will be major problems. The host country has always had to strictly control it.

That night, the opening ceremony of the World Championships began, but it started to rain.

The men's 100-meter competition is the signature event of the World Championships. There are preliminaries and rematches on the first day. Therefore, in order to prevent colds, Su Feng watched the opening ceremony of the World Championships on TV.

How to say it is indeed a difference compared to the magnificence of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but it is also very distinctive, giving a very artistic introduction to Finland's culture, history and its origins with the World Championships.

It was also through the opening ceremony that day that Su Feng learned that the first World Championships was held in Helsinki, and it was in 1983.

This World Championships will be a return to the old place in 22 years for Helsinki.

bj time on August 7, at 15:00 pm, the first game of the Helsinki World Championships is about to begin.

This time, the central government purchased the broadcast rights of the World Championships and sent a special reporter and production team to Helsinki to broadcast the event live.

"CCTV, CCTV, I am Yang Jian, the live commentator. Now you are seeing the scene of the 10th World Track and Field Championships in Helsinki, Finland.

What will be held on the court is the women's triple-leap long jump qualifying match, followed by women's all-round events and other events.

At 16:45 BJ time, the men's 100 preliminaries will begin, and the famous Chinese sprinter Su Feng will play.

From the scene sent back on the scene, it can be seen that the Finnish people are still very enthusiastic about the events held at their doorstep. The Helsinki Olympic Stadium was already full at this time. According to reports sent back on the scene, even though it was raining lightly last night, thousands of local people participated in the opening ceremony together outside the stadium.

Now, outside the stadium, local people have also danced local Finnish ethnic dances, expressing their excitement for this sports event.”

The live broadcast footage then turned to the audience, and I saw that there were crowds of people in the audience, and there were indeed full of people. Many people were not sitting, but standing, holding the flag of their own country in their hands and constantly waving.
