A top athlete of this kind spoke out, saying that he does not support the establishment of a special biological passport.

Since the doping scandal broke out in the United States last year, it is no secret that athletes evade urine tests by frequent blood transfusions and infusions of small amounts of human erythropoietin to increase the count of red blood cells, and this method tends to be more temporary. It will naturally return to normal levels, so those athletes who find reasons to retire, just need to wait for a while, and perhaps their bodies will return to normal levels by the next Golden League Brussels station.

However, at this time, some media also had some special reports that attracted people's attention.

"Golden League Zurich Station: Many top players have retired, will Zhang Guan be the next one to retire? "

This is a report from the British media. It first introduced the situation that International Athletics is about to establish a biological special passport for athletes, and then many well-known athletes have withdrawn from the Zurich station of the IAAF Golden League.

However, because Zhang Guan won every game and broke the world record many times, the words of losing the game became It was a joke, so these "Zhang Guanhei" began to take up the doping issue as their main means of attacking Zhang Guan.

However, on the second day, the Athletic Management Center announced that Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren will soon participate in the IAAF Golden League Zurich competition.

The young Bolt looked excited because he had just won a test event in the 200-meter sprint, which allowed him to qualify for the Athletics World Cup in the middle of next month. What made him even more excited was that he would have the opportunity to compete with Zhang Guan sports.

Another young player of the Jamaican team, John Bracking, hurried over, handed a newspaper to Bolt, and said, "Yosein, Zhang Guan has arrived in Zurich, Switzerland, and he really did not quit the game." !"

"I've said it a long time ago, Zhang Guan will definitely not retire!" Bolt curled his lips: "It's just a temporary blood test, how could Zhang Guan be afraid of this."

"It's not as simple as a temporary blood test, but a biological special passport!" Blake corrected: "The biological special passport is a process of continuous monitoring of athletes, and the results of each blood trait monitoring will be included in the biological special passport. If If an athlete is doping, it's easy to compare."

"Strong players don't bother to do such nasty things. Look at our Asafa, who is also continuing to participate in the Track and Field Golden League! There is also the American Varina, who is said to be ready to challenge Zhang Guan again Ready." Bolt waved his hand.

Blake went on to say: "I really admire Varina. He has lost to Zhang Guan for three consecutive games. I didn't expect that he is still so high-spirited!"

"That's because the gap between Varina and Zhang Guan is not that big. The difference between the two in the last race was only 0.05 seconds, which can be easily made up in the 400-meter race." Bolt continued: "In the three games, the performance of the two has been continuously improved from 44 seconds away, and now it is close to 43.5 seconds. Maybe the two will be faster in the future. There are still three games in the Golden League, maybe some of them Will break the 400-meter world record!"

"Break the 400-meter world record? It's definitely impossible!" Blake shook his head, the 400-meter world record is really too difficult, it is simply an inhuman achievement!
