Chapter 285 Olympic Journey (8)(1/2)
Shen Lang underwent a urine test, but the ab bottle procedure was used!
This is a new drug testing procedure implemented in the 1970s. The biggest improvement is that samples must be taken twice during testing.
Of course, I don’t mean to urinate in two times, or to urinate with a split end, but to divide it into two bottles after peeing and store it.
The first bottle is called bottle A, and is usually tested immediately by the event organizer, and the results will be available within 24 hours.
If the test is negative, then the test is over.
But if the test result is positive and the athlete admits to taking the drug, then nothing will happen.
But if the athlete refuses to admit taking the medication, then the B bottle frozen and stored by the Olympic Organizing Committee or FINA is equivalent to giving the athlete a chance to appeal, and the second test will be conducted by a higher-level testing agency and supervisory agency at the same time.
If the B-bottle test result is still positive, a more severe punishment awaits the athlete, most likely a permanent ban.
Since the 2008 Olympic Games, bottles C have even been added. Even if bottles A and B have no problems, they will still be re-inspected by the International Olympic Committee and the International Association before the samples expire.
The urine test was very fast this time. Shen Lang took out the big baby and shook it at the supervisor, and that was it.
After that, the sample is handed over to the testing team, and he can go and warm up. The Chinese Swimming Team will send a clerk to supervise the testing process.
However, this kind of testing generally does not involve such shady events, because the normal procedure itself involves cross-supervision by several associations, and it is difficult for two major countries like the United States or the Soviet Union to bribe the Olympic Committee, FINA, and international testing organizations at the same time.
Moreover, even if they are all bribed, as long as there is a flaw in one link, the credit of all three organizations will be reduced to 0, so it is unlikely that anyone will take such a risk just to kill a Chinese genius.
Although Wu Jie didn't think anyone would lick something from his urine, he still bought Shen Lang a gold-level [Lucky Pawn Card] after the urine test.
This was a precautionary measure. As the Chinese delegation was too strong in the early stages of the Olympic Games, he began to feel that "there are always unruly people trying to harm me."
This kind of overt urine test is unlikely to cause problems, but there are some hidden dangers that are difficult to guard against.
We have to be on guard against this. He has put a lot of effort into these tool men, but he cannot let others harm them!
At 7 p.m., the preliminaries of the 200-meter butterfly will proceed as normal.
Shen Lang is undoubtedly the most watched seed player on the field, and he is now more favored by the outside world than Gross.
Gross is a star athlete from West Germany, two years older than him. He also rose to fame at the age of less than 18. He has won gold medals in various competitions in the past two years and is also good at short-distance freestyle and butterfly strokes.
This person is also nicknamed "Albatross" because he is an astonishing 2.01 meters tall, with long arms, long legs, and long feet. This is a very excellent physical condition for swimming.
In this Olympics, Gross also participated in five events, but two were team events and only three were individual events, namely the 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter freestyle, and 200-meter butterfly.
Without Shen Lang, Gross would have been the number one star in swimming in the early to mid-1980s.
But Shen Lang didn't take him seriously because his achievements were closely related to West Germany's developed chemical industry.
After the Los Angeles Olympics, especially before the Seoul Olympics, major monitoring organizations finally upgraded their chemical and drug testing, but the performance of this young "albatross" went from bad to worse.
Of course, it was not impossible to add chemical ingredients at that time, but more stunts were needed to neutralize the chemical ingredients, and the dosage could no longer be added unscrupulously.
But the reason why Shen Lang didn't care about these biochemical warriors and disabled people the most was that they were going in the wrong direction.
In the 1980s, when everyone was competing in the chemical industry and pharmaceuticals, not many people paid attention to the "technical" aspect, but "technology" is actually the most effective way to improve performance.
So he has decided to select some good young talents around ten years old to train with him after the Olympics, and train them using the most scientific training methods from an early age.
In this way, after four years or eight years, we will have the opportunity to cultivate a large number of outstanding players who are capable of competing for medals, or at least making it to the finals.
In the preliminaries of the 200-meter butterfly, Shen Lang did not give his best, but with his skills far beyond the times, he swam a time of 1:57.56 seconds, which still ranked second among the three groups of swimmers.
This did surprise him a little. Australia's 17-year-old Joe Simmu swam in a time of 1:57.48 seconds, while Gross's time was 1:57.79 seconds.
But after the game, Wu Jie still became the favorite to win the championship, because he swam so easily, and there was no sharp breathing after the swim. Everyone knew that he still had a lot of energy left.
Joe Simu looked like he was about to have an asthma attack after the game. This young player obviously used up the energy to feed himself during the preliminaries.
Shen Lang had no reaction to this. To him, Qiao Ximu's results were something he could surpass if he used just a little more effort, and he still had a lot of energy left to spare.
Gross' face didn't look good, because if he wanted to swim better than this, he would have to use a double dose.
But of course there will be side effects if you take too much medicine. Double the chemical ingredients will bring double the sequelae.
But for the championship, this price is nothing.
If it is really necessary, he will not hesitate to use three times the trick!
Tonight, the only one who is most confident of winning the gold medal in each event of the Chinese team is Shen Lang.
Especially for the swimming team, there is still no second person who has passed the preliminaries.
But Shen Lang alone is enough to make the world look at China's swimming world with admiration, just like after a genius emerges in China's football and basketball fields, subsequent outstanding players emerge one after another.
However, at 8:30 p.m., the Olympic Committee once again asked Shen Lang to conduct a pre-match urine test.
After the Chinese swimming team protested again to no avail, Shen Lang had no choice but to take off his pants in front of the inspectors and use his 18cm genitalia to urinate again.
Isn’t this description very disharmonious?
But the formal urine test is so terrible!
Regardless of whether you are male or female, someone must follow you throughout the entire sampling process, and there is not much difference in the process.
Male athletes are required to take off their pants in front of them, then take out tools and discharge the samples to be inspected under the supervision of inspectors.
The process for female athletes is similar. They also have to take off their clothes in front of them, then use a more embarrassing posture to remove the sample to be tested, and then provide the sample to the inspector.
Of course, the supervisors of male and female athletes must be of the same gender and must not have any contact with the athletes. Otherwise, as long as the athletes complain to the inspector, not only will the test be invalidated, but they will also face the punishment of being expelled afterwards.
Therefore, Shen Lang not only had to collect the urine by himself, but also divided it into two parts, handed it over to two testing teams in person to ensure that no one changed hands in the process, and finally signed and sealed it before transporting it to a testing institution for testing.
The most embarrassing thing in this process is of course the length.
This thing has little to do with the physical strength of the athlete. Even if you are two meters tall and have unparalleled physical talent, your length is probably less than 10cm.
So O'Neal must have been very embarrassed when he did the urine test, while Wu Jie would have liked a beautiful lady to be the supervisor.
Of course Shen Lang is not as exaggerated as Wu Jie, but he is still at the top level in Asia and at the top level globally, so despite being made things difficult for him continuously, he does not have any mental problems.
But this kind of continuous single-person monitoring is definitely a way of disturbing people's mentality.
If all eight players were monitored, then Shen Lang would naturally not have any doubts.
But now that he is being held and squeezed, he has the urge to change direction and take advantage of this supervisor first, even though it is just a small one!
After Shen Lang finished his urine test, the game was about to start in half an hour.
During this period, all athletes have to warm up in a closed warm-up area. Basically, they do some movements that help stretch the body. It is a bit like an enhanced version of yoga. It mainly improves the flexibility and extensibility of various joints.
Game status.
You can tell that Shen Lang is different even when he is warming up, especially in his shoulders, ankles, chest, and hips, which are the most important joints for swimming. His flexibility and extensibility look like some yoga masters.
All the bones in the body are soft.
Of course, he is not that exaggerated, but his flexibility is obviously better than that of other players.
This can be regarded as a double bonus in terms of race and talent. Shen Lang has a four and a half star athletic talent. Among them, flexibility, balance, physical fitness, and recovery are over 90, and the rest are between 85-90. The worst is the strength talent.
, not even as good as some four-star athletes.
Gross participated in the 100-meter butterfly. He has a four-star athletic talent with a "power type" prefix. His core strength and explosive power are even slightly stronger than Shen Lang, but his flexibility and balance are only the same.
When I was in my early 80s, there was almost a gap between two levels.
This physical gap is coupled with a technical gap, which makes the two of them compete with all their strength. Even if the gap is only 100 meters, it will be very obvious.
After all, it is too inefficient for people to rely on brute force underwater. Swimming is an extreme event in which body and technology are indispensable. The ratio of the two can even be a 4:6 relationship.
Wu Jie took a look at the other seven players in the finals before the game. This time they were much cleaner, and there was no abnormal situation like +2 or +3.
But Gross has physical fitness +3, recovery ability +3, core strength +2, and explosive power +2. After being added to the chemical ingredients, these four attributes all exceed 90, which means he is already a strength type in numerical terms.
A level of "quasi-four-and-a-half-star talent".
In addition to Gross, Pablo Morales of the United States and Glenn Buchanan of Australia are also four-star athletic talents, and their four values also increased by +2 and +3.
But these two people don't seem to have any particularly outstanding characteristics. All attributes are between 80-85, unlike Wu Jie and Gross who have one or two attributes that are extraordinarily high.
Wu Jie has been using the system for so long, so he naturally knows that talents with the same star rating are also different. For example, athletes with some prefixes before their star rating are obviously stronger.
Gross has a double four-star talent of strength + physical fitness, which is the best among four-star swimming talents.
Shen Lang is a double four-and-a-half-star flexibility + recovery type, and is also the best among four-and-a-half-star talents.
Pablo Morales and Aaron Buchanan are ordinary four-star stars without prefixes, so they are inevitably inferior.
Shen Lang did not communicate with these opponents before the game. Although he is not a cold and arrogant introvert, his outstanding temperament is still intimidating.
Yesterday, his performance in the preliminaries was mediocre, and today he was ranked in the fifth lane. However, after entering the competition, the camera focused on him the most in the fifth lane.
After yesterday's game, Shen Lang gained many fans all over the world, especially in South Korea, where his popularity grew at an explosive rate, followed by Japan and China.
The reason here is not only his good results, but also his figure and appearance, even among the top all-around players in the world, he is still the best.
Shen Lang's height of 1.92 meters and weight of 80 kilograms are ten kilograms lighter than Wu Jie's. If you look at the numbers alone, you will feel thin.
But the actual appearance is not like that. Shen Lang's muscles are tight and beautiful, streamlined, and the muscle shape is also extremely delicate.
In addition, there are some differences in body shape from Wu Jie. Shen Lang's bust is much wider than his waist. From the ribs to the hip bone, the waist shrinks rapidly, forming a sexy line that can only be seen on swimmers.
In addition, although he is not three-dimensional enough, he has very delicate facial features, combined with milky white and delicate skin. Although his overall appearance is slightly worse than Wu Jie's, he has a unique sense of freshness and creaminess.
In this era, this type of handsome boy was called a "cream boy". Shen Lang mainly trained indoors and underwater for a long time, which resulted in the lack of a masculine atmosphere, and the appearance and temperament of the whole person tended to be more feminine.
