On May 8, Zhang Guan returned to his country and returned to the Xinzhuang base after being interviewed by reporters.
The special car is already in the parking lot of Xinzhuang base, Zhuge Wenbo has already been waiting for the car.
"Another champion. Which is this year's number?" Zhuge Wenbo mentioned the champion without showing much excitement. It seemed that he was numb by seven consecutive championships in January and February.
"The competition is the first. The previous indoor competition is nothing." Zhang Guan said.
"When the news that you won the championship came to Europe yesterday, Daben Company informed me that you have been shortlisted for the Lawrence Sports Award's Rookie of the Year Award," Zhuge Wenbo said.
"Just shortlisted!" Zhang Guan nodded slightly disappointedly.
Zhuge Wenbo supported his glasses and was sorry to say: "I was too optimistic before. I thought there was a recommendation from Daben. It should be no problem to get the best newcomer from Lawrence. Later I learned that things are not what I think. It’s that simple. It’s almost as difficult for the athlete to win the Lawrence Award as the actor won the Oscar.
"Who else is on the shortlist?" Zhang Guan asked.
Zhuge Wenbo shook his head: "I don't know yet, but there seems to be Phelps."
"That guy!" Zhang Guan thought of Phelps's long face and a pair of beauties.
"The team behind Phelps is not trivial. He is also carrying several endorsements and sponsorship contracts from major international brands. We are at a disadvantage in this regard." Zhuge Wenbo took a deep breath.
Zhang Guan nodded, he knew he wanted to win the Lawrence World Sports Award. Just relying on good achievements and strong strength is not enough, but also needs the operation of the team behind it.
World-class awards are similar, such as the Nobel Prize in academia, the Academy Award in performing arts, the Lawrence Sports Award in sports, etc. Among these awards. As long as you are nominated, it means that the award has recognized you, but there is only one trophy. It is a very complicated question to whom to give it. At this time, the public relations means of the team behind the nominee will become particularly important. In this public relations battle, the spokespersons, advertisers and production giants behind the stars will form their own interest groups and use the power of capital to help the nominees; and in the academic world. The pharmaceutical giants, chemical groups, technology companies, etc. behind the Nobel Prize nominees also provide the nominees with corresponding resources, and even sometimes, there will be national forces behind them.
For a Nobel Prize, the public relations team behind the nominee may find dozens or hundreds of scientists to endorse themselves; for an Oscar, the public relations team behind the nominee will pass various relationships. Compromise or exchange interests with traditional Hollywood academic forces; and the Lawrence Sports Awards may not be as complicated as the first two, but the spokesperson behind the sports stars will be tempted.
Of course, team PR cannot decide everything. For example, the Oscar-winning madman, he did not hesitate to destroy his image in order to win the prize, and even starred in a large-scale lens, but it was always a little worse after each nomination.
It has been more than six months since the end of the Olympic Games. Zhang Guan also signed several brand endorsements, among which there are also big international brands, but compared with those endorsed by Flying Fish Phelps, it is still far worse. If the brand behind Phelps works hard, Zhang Guan is probably not Phelps' competitor in competing for the Lawrence Newcomer Award.
...
After dinner, Zhang Guan rested for a while, looked at the time, and picked up the phone. Dialed Sharapova's number.
"I just wanted to call you, have you left Japan? I read the news, you won Gatlin, and won again. Congratulations." Sharapova said directly.
"Well, I returned to China today and finished dinner. How about you?" Zhang Guan asked.
"I just finished my breakfast and am preparing to go to training." Sharapova continued: "The French Open is about to start in two weeks. I have to prepare, and the French Open is a month after Wimbledon. Yes. Do you have time to come to France to watch me play?
"The French Open starts on May 23!" Zhang Guan thought for a while. At that time, there was only one IAAF Hengelo Grand Prix held in the Netherlands, and the domestic track and field preliminaries for the 10th National Games will not be held until late June. , I really don't seem to have any games.
"I didn't play at that time, I will pass as much as possible." Zhang Guan said.
"Great!" Sharapova appeared very excited, and then continued: "There is still good news to tell you, I will go to Portugal first on May 16, my agent told me that I got Nomination for the Lawrence Sports Award!"
"Well?" Zhang Guan immediately asked: "Which award is nominated?"
"Best newcomer of the year..." Sharapova said.
Zhang Guan suddenly laughed, and then said, "It seems that we will meet soon."
"What do you mean? Are you also coming to Portugal? Are you also nominated?" Sharapova was a little surprised, and then asked: "Will your nomination also be..."
"You guessed it, I was also nominated for the Best Newcomer Award." Zhang Guan said.
...
The IAAF station was involved in Kondo Kame’s case as soon as possible. As Kondo Kame submitted the test report of the Yokohama Star Race to the IAAF, the IAAF immediately became a special investigation team and went to Japan. Investigate the incident.
According to Kondo Kamito, last year’s Yokohama Star Race, he detected that athletes used illegal drugs, but was forced to be forced down by a second minister of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The deprivation of his own laboratory's testing qualifications is also the reason for this second minister, who is worried that Kondo Kame will once again detect that athletes use illegal drugs.
According to Kondo Kame’s account, the second-ranking behavior has seriously affected the fairness and justice of the event. However, the IAAF is an international organization and there is no way to punish Japanese government officials. The three statements may not be true, so the IAAF investigation team started a series of complex investigation activities.
First, the IAAF wants to determine whether Kondo Kame’s test report in the Yokohama Star Race last year is true. Although the samples at that time had been destroyed, the detailed data of the specimens after the test were still there. At the same time, it was necessary to make sure that the test method used by Kondo Laboratories was correct and reliable. Experiment to verify.
Scientific theories and verification results have proved that the test method used by Kondo Labs last year at the Yokohama Star Game is correct, which can also prove the authenticity of the test report at that time. But after all, after a lapse of half a year, a test report alone can't explain anything. If there are recent test results, it would be better. However, in the just-concluded Osaka track and field competition, the detection of all specimens was no problem, but fortunately, after the robbery, the IAAF immediately sealed the samples that had been tested.
The IAAF needs to confirm the test method. Kondo Laboratories has developed a more advanced test method this year. Kondo Kamito claims that this is the most advanced test method in the world. Therefore, the investigation team must verify the latest test method of Kondo Laboratories to confirm whether this new method is effective.
After confirming that the method was effective, the IAAF needed to test the previously sealed samples, and the results showed that gatling's urine samples did contain illegal drugs.
At this time, the IAAF immediately notified Gatling and asked him, Gatling's coach or notary to send a test of the standby specimen under the witness of both parties. But Gatlin’s coach Graham didn’t even dare to come and found an excuse not to go to Japan. The investigation team applied for the dispatch of a special international notary according to the regulations, and then tested the standby specimen under the witness of the special notary. At the same time, the entire process was recorded to retain evidence. The results of the test found that Gatling and some American athletes really used illegal drugs.
But this did not end. The IAAF published the test report and gave Gatlin the opportunity to appeal. If Gatlin does not approve the IAAF test, he can make an appeal, and then the IAAF will give the athlete concerned Sampling the specimen again and then testing again.
In the United States, Gatling and his coach Graham immediately held a press conference, claiming that the IAAF’s test was wrong, Gatling also denied that he used any illegal drugs, but Gatling said he would not complain It will not be re-examined, and it will appear as if the Qing is self-cleaning.
Gatling's performance immediately caused everyone's criticism. Since you think the IAAF is wrong, why not appeal? Since you have not used any illegal drugs, why not accept another test? This is obviously the performance of three hundred and two without silver here.
Gatlin's cooked duck had a tough mouth and decided to carry it, but other athletes involved could not carry it. Soon, a first person admitted to using illegal drugs, and then a second person also admitted. Then even the FBI intervened in the matter.
The FBI intervened because there was evidence pointing to the famous chemist Arnold, the scientist known as the father of prohormones, and had worked in the Barco laboratory.
Two years ago, the doping scandal broke out at Barco Labs, which directly led to the suspension of Tim Montgomery's world record. In addition, many other athletes were also involved, including famous baseball and rugby players, and the legendary flying man Marion Jones. . The FBI was responsible for investigating the matter at that time, and today, considering that the incident may involve the scandal of the Balkan laboratory two years ago, the FBI was dispatched again.
The American sports world is once again caught in a doping scandal. The US doping scandal, which didn’t happen until 2006, is ahead of schedule! (To be continued.)
