Almighty Coach

On the plane back to Los Angeles, Alvin and Alexander happened to sit together.

"Justin, have you been notified that the national team wants us to provide blood samples." Alvin asked.

"I've been notified." Alexander nodded, "I heard that some personal biological information files are going to be obtained for the athletes, so we need to collect data on specimens."

"What exactly is a personal biological information file? I have been in the national team for several times, and even participated in the Olympic Games three times, but I have never heard of this thing." Alvin continued.

"I was also puzzled, so I called the relevant staff to inquire. They said it was to ensure our safety, as if they were worried about kidnapping or terrorist attacks during the Olympics." Alexander shrugged.

"We are just athletes, not those politicians in Washington, terrorists don't bother to trouble us!" Alvin continued to complain.

"That's not necessarily the case. The Olympic Games will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The law and order there is not very good. We Americans are like wallets that can walk." Alexander looked at it with a deep smile. A glance at Alvin: "Especially you, the world's top sports star, if I were a terrorist, I would definitely kidnap you!"

"If someone kidnaps me, I'll run, anyway, no one can run past me within 400 meters." Alvin also began to tease.

...

"I made an excuse and got blood samples from Jimmy Irvine, Justin Alexander and Sean Ford. I sent a very reliable person to send the samples to you, and you are ready to receive them." Sebastian's voice rang through the receiver of the phone.

"I see, I will arrange someone to follow up." Franklin agreed.

Sebastian on the phone then asked: "If the blood sample can't find anything wrong, what should we do?"

"If you really can't detect it, think of a way. I'm also waiting for the results of the investigation company." Franklin said.

"Is there any progress in the investigation company?" Sebastian asked eagerly.

"No progress has been made. They even sent someone disguised as a customer to sneak into Dai Li's training center, but nothing was found." Franklin sighed helplessly, and continued, "You are now the head coach of the national team. See if you can make full use of this identity.

"I understand. In two days, the national team will have a training camp. I will try to talk to them. I hope I can gain something." Sebastian said here, the phone suddenly rang sound.

"Someone is looking for me, let's not talk about it, let me know the latest news." After Sebastian finished speaking, he eagerly ended the call.

The so-called establishment of personal biological information files is just an excuse that Sebastian used to obtain the blood samples of Alvin, Alexander and Ford. As the head coach of the US team, Sebastian still has this power.

...

Sitting in front of Franklin was a man in his early sixties. This man had a long face and deep-set eye sockets. The most conspicuous thing was his big hooked nose, which looked a bit like the villain Penguin in Batman. nose.

When Sebastian was on the phone with Franklin, he obviously didn't know that there were other people in the room. If he knew there were other people in the room, he would never talk to Franklin, because what he and Franklin were talking about was a shady matter. Of course, others should not know about it.

So the only explanation is that this hooked nose is also an insider of the matter.

Sure enough, Franklin put down the phone and immediately explained to the man, "It's Sebastian calling. He's already got a blood sample, and it can be delivered today."

"Once the blood sample is sent, test it immediately, hoping to find some clues." The hooked nose opened its mouth and ordered.

"I'll do my best, but I can't find anything wrong with the urine sample, so I'm worried that even the blood sample won't find anything," Franklin said.

"Let's go step by step first, and don't stop investigating the company to see if we can find other clues. If it doesn't work, I still have plan B." Hooked Nose said.

"As you wish, Mr. Blacher." Franklin agreed immediately.

...

If Sebastian is also in this room, he must be very surprised to see the hooked nose, and after the surprise, Sebastian will definitely choose to leave immediately and hide far away, and he will be with him in the future. Franklin Laboratories cut ties.

Because the identity of this aquiline nose is really special, for sports coaches or athletes, this aquiline nose is absolutely not someone you can associate with at all.

The hook-nosed man named Bu Laiqie is a scientist and the boss of a pharmaceutical company, and he has a nickname called "Father of Hormone".

Prohormones are a class of anabolic hormones formed by enzymatic conversion in the body. But they are different from anabolic hormones. The effects of prohormones are similar to those of anabolic hormones. They can increase muscle size and strength, reduce body fat, and improve sexual function. Once the prohormones are in the body, they are converted to steroid analogs. For athletes, this stuff is doping.

The person who can be called the "father of prohormones" is undoubtedly the top senior expert in this field, and he is also the one who has achieved fruitful research and has already achieved fame.

As a scientist, there is no problem at all if you just study hormones, but what Bu Laiqie has done has exceeded the bottom line of scientists.

During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony, politics, economy, military, science... In all fields, the United States and the Soviet Union were tit-for-tat, and so was sports. In order to achieve better results, the athletes of the two countries have started to use various stimulants, which has also brought stimulants into a period of rapid development.

The International Olympic Committee started the anti-doping campaign in 1968, but the effect was not good. Especially in the 1980s, the use of doping by athletes was already very rampant. Many incredible world records were made in that era, some The world record has been sealed for more than ten or twenty years and has not been broken. This is the credit for doping.

Bu Laiqie was active in that era. When he was studying for a doctorate, his research project was prohormones, and he also made a patented result.

After getting his Ph.D., Bleche turned down many invitations from pharmaceutical companies. He sold his patents, found some sponsors, set up a small laboratory, and continued to study prohormones.

However, Bu Laiqie's research is very smooth, and the research results are emerging one after another. He has more sponsorship, and his small laboratory has become a large laboratory. His research on prohormones has been valued by large pharmaceutical companies. Pay him a lot of patent fees. Blatch also opened his own pharmaceutical company in the mid-nineties.

Because of his excellent research on prohormones, many of his research results have been applied to pharmaceuticals and medicine, so Bulice won the title of "Father of Prohormones".

At that time, Bu Laiqie could be said to have a great reputation, with his own research results, a great reputation, and a pharmaceutical company, who seemed to be a successful scientist among scientists. He often donated money everywhere, packaging himself as a charity Home.

However, the transformation occurred in 1999. In that year, the World Anti-Doping Agency Council was established in Lausanne. At the same time, the International Olympic Committee announced that it would provide the World Anti-Doping Agency with the full cost of testing doping in the next two to three years. In the first year alone, the International Olympic Committee gave 25 million US dollars for anti-doping.

The 25 million US dollars in 1999 can do many things, such as setting up a special committee to be responsible for the doping control outside the Great Wall; for example, becoming a scientific research group, specializing in the research of new types of doping; Technology is upgraded.

With the money, the anti-doping organization quickly made results. In 2000, the anti-doping committee found that a large number of American athletes used doping, and many of them were former world champions and world record holders. And this incident also alerted the FBI.

The FBI's investigation quickly discovered that some cases of sudden death of athletes in recent years were also related to the use of doping. Originally, it was just athletes who used doping, which was a moral issue that violated the fairness of competition, but there was more than one case of human life, and the matter suddenly became serious.

As the investigation deepened, Bu Laiqie began to be pointed at, and the truth surfaced little by little. The FBI found that Blanche not only provided doping to many athletes, but he also provided doping to athletes that had not been clinically tested. What's more serious is that many stimulants have had obvious side effects in animal experiments, but Bu Laiqie still provided them to athletes. This is also the cause of sudden death in some athletes.

While Bretche provided stimulants to the athletes, he was also collecting the physical indicators of the athletes as a reference for his continued research. This is tantamount to using athletes as guinea pigs, and it is also equivalent to administering drugs without any safety measures. human trials.

In recent years, Bretcher's research on prohormones has made rapid progress, and it is precisely because of the data brought by this kind of human experiment that other scientists are doing research and development step by step, while Bretche is desperate , directly experimenting with living people, the speed of directly conducting human experiments is definitely much faster than normal research.

Bu Laiqie's behavior not only violated the law, but also violated the basic morality of human beings. This incident caused a sensation in the United States at that time. punished by law.

It's just that the law is often biased towards the rich. A big boss like Bu Laiqie naturally has the money to hire the best lawyers, and he can also find someone to take the blame for him. Most of the charges were found unfounded, and he was sentenced to just six months in prison. However, the coaches of several athletes who died suddenly were accused of manslaughter and spent several years in prison.

After this incident, Blake became the god of plague in the eyes of coaches and athletes. This guy's morals are too corrupt. He even dared to use stimulants that have not passed animal tests. This is a deadly thing. . Athletes really want to improve their performance, but performance is not as important as their own life.

Bu Laiqie has been on the blacklist of sports coaches and athletes. Even a coach like Sebastian who will doping athletes is absolutely unwilling to have any intersection with Buiqie, not even saying a word. willing. Bu Laiqie's reputation is really bad. Any coach who dares to contact this "father of hormones" will be taken care of by the anti-doping organization. Not to mention, his athletes will definitely choose to leave in order to save their lives. .

However, what Sebastian never expected was that the Franklin Laboratory, which he had worked with for many years, had actually been receiving the sponsorship of Bretcher. If Sebastian knew that the famous "father of hormones" was behind Franklin Lab, he would never dare to use any products of Franklin Lab again.
