Section 17 Prohibited Drugs

"You went to university in the Czech Republic and studied physical training, and you are still interested in football. So, let me test you." Li Bin thought for a moment before speaking, "In 1998, something happened in the Italian football world.

Something happened that shocked the world, and it was related to physical training. Do you still remember what it was?"

"In 1998?" Wan Qi pondered for a moment, "In 1998, Serie A's major issue regarding training issues... was related to the Czech Republic? I remembered that in 1998, coach Zeman exposed Serie A's ban on training

Medication use.”

Li Bin nodded slightly, she had indeed made preparations.

"You want to know my attitude towards the use of banned drugs?" Wanqi immediately came to a conclusion.

In 1998, a very important thing happened in Serie A: Zeman came out to accuse Juventus of using banned substances in team training. Moreover, he even directly named Del Piero and Vialli for relying on banned substances to become famous.

He gained muscle strength. Since he has sued, the Italian Football Association will naturally investigate, but the preliminary result of the investigation is that he has overdosed on drugs.

Instead of using banned drugs. And just when the Football Association wanted to conduct further investigation, the Drug Supervision Department announced that the investigation data on the players was 'lost' - so the sentencing of the players was lost. Although

Five banned drugs were found from the Juventus medical room, but in the end, the case was closed by just giving the Juventus team doctor a one-and-a-half-year sentence.

But the matter was not over yet. Afterwards, Moggi and Lippi led the entire Juventus to sue in reverse, accusing Zeman of making false accusations and demanding that Zeman be suspended for five years on the grounds that Zeman's actions interfered with the players' lives. However, Italy

Although the Football Association is shameless, it is not shameless at all. For You

They flatly rejected Ventus' request. However, Juventus is Juventus after all. Since Zeman has provoked Juventus, how could he possibly survive? For a period of time after that, even if he didn't

He was banned from the competition and was also driven to Turkey, where he lived a very miserable life.

Since then, there have been problems with Serie A's physical training.

After all, the reform of football training methods is not about herding cattle. It is a very systematic thing. The sudden loss of drug assistance has a huge impact. After 1994, creatine was used in the world's sports circles, but this time, everything was ruined. In

After 1998, there have always been two different attitudes towards training. One is to continue to use banned substances secretly, anyway.

The Italian Football Association did not dare to take the matter seriously, and even secretly encouraged it - after all, this is to compete for the honor of Serie A! And it is not easy to distinguish what is a banned substance!) announced 114 kinds of banned substances - however, FIFA has always been autonomous

, no matter what the Olympic Committee said, I don't admit it, it is just a blank piece of paper - and how cruel is FIFA? Until

In 2003, ephedrine, a big killer, was only a second-level banned substance on FIFA's list, not to mention some things that were not banned, such as creatine. In the 1990s, many

Drugs are used in clubs, and some use them to the point of madness.

After Juventus was exposed by Zeman, it soon emerged that Parma's Cannavaro also used injection drugs. Immediately, Inter Milan players tested positive for drugs, but the club interfered and was not allowed to punish. Milan's Gattuso

He simply refused to take a spot check with a stick in his neck, but nothing happened. Brescia's Guardiola took banned drugs, but he was sentenced to change. Roma's Totti was sued for taking drugs, and the national team was ordered to cancel. The entire Serie A was in chaos.

No one cared about this at the time: In the 1990s, creatine was commonly used in football all over the world, and only a few did not use it. Not to mention the Italians, even China also used creatine at that time——

In 1997, the national football team was known as the strongest national football team in history, relying on the use of creatine to supplement strength. The women's football team was also prosperous at that time, which was also inseparable from the use of drugs at that time. In addition to creatine, the women's football team also used other drugs at that time.

Drugs. For example, the 1999 Women's World Cup, Americans

As the host, they deliberately plotted against the Chinese team. The Chinese team flew from the east coast to the west coast of the United States for every game, and then flew to the east coast for the next game. They went back and forth, traveling tens of thousands of meters, thus causing the Chinese team to suffer from jet lag.

Not enough rest. And Chinese women

The method used at that time was simple: one injection of melatonin for each person, which offset the jet lag problem. However, after all, the Chinese team was one step behind. If you continued to abuse drugs, how could you match the pharmacological achievements of the United States? What's more, the United States

There is also a super sure kill: the home black whistle...

Unlike them, there are also people who are thinking about how to eliminate drug use, and Li Bin is one of them. Palma has been secretly engaged in research in this area.

After the turmoil in 1998, Italy restrained itself slightly. After creatine was banned, many teams began to look for alternatives, such as fructose diphosphate or glutamine preparations. Some even used them simply.

Antioxidants, Tribulus terrestris extract, etc.

——Speaking of this, Li Bin sometimes suspected that in the movie Become Famous 2 that he watched, the person who put cucumber slices on his face was actually using antioxidants, but it was beautified by the movie——But

, in Parma, Li Bin directly banned these.

"Borg and you are doing research, right? Isn't it about physical training methods? But I haven't heard anyone say that?"

Li Bin didn't say anything: In the current Serie A environment, drugs are still commonly used. At this time, Zeman has learned from the past when he said the wrong thing. At this time, he can only study slowly in private, wait until the results are obtained, and then

Take it out. Otherwise, the top three in the north are focused on results. If they are asked to give up their results, how can they accept it?

After explaining for a while, Li Bin spoke up and expressed his thoughts, "Every time the rules change, the unlucky thing is tactics, and every time a new list of banned drugs is announced, the unlucky thing is physical training. In 1995, the National Olympic Committee once

Changes, one change and two changes by FIFA in 2003, have had a huge impact on physical training. Therefore, what I think about is how to train while avoiding the use of drugs as much as possible."

"Is it difficult?"

"Yes, medical research has always been expensive. Small teams don't have that much money and can't afford research. Without drugs, they can't change their training. So now Italy's training is getting worse day by day." Li Bin nodded, "But

Fortunately, we now have some advanced concepts, thanks to Borg’s contribution, which is very important.”

After Li Bin took over the club's training affairs, he has always done things based on the concept of doing practical things. The same goes for physical training. What he wants to do is really good for the players.

Everyone knows that excessive use of creatine can lead to muscle spasms and strains. But since it can produce results, who cares? In the 1990s, there were even experts writing a project to study how to use creatine rationally-all the way to the muscle

It was banned after acid-induced muscle cramps and strains became more common.

Is this just Italy and China? Obviously not. Before the 1994 Cup Winners' Cup final between Parma and Arsenal, Arsenal's David Seaman each took an injection of analgesics in the pre-match match. Manchester United's Ferdinand also did

refuse drug testing, let alone Germany. On the issue of the use of banned drugs, Germany

The Chinese sports world is a superpower that can compete with China and the United States. Even the Miracle in Bern won the World Cup only after all the players were injected with drugs. And the Bundesliga coach Michel Kruger directly revealed that half of the Bundesliga players

Players all take medicine - but without evidence, it is untrue.

This exploration has a long way to go.

"You want to improve this aspect? Reform the use of drugs? Why? Just because of regulations? You know, drug use is called doping if you catch it, and high-tech if you don't catch it. You don't use drugs.

, Do you want to be a saint?" After listening to Li Bin's words, Wan Qi also asked.

"No, I'm not a saint. When buying and selling players, I sometimes have a bad heart. But some things are conscience." Li Bin said, "Knowing that the use of drugs may cause muscle spasms and strains in the players,

It might even cause me to be paralyzed in bed, but I didn't say a word, risked everything for my performance, and even maimed others without opening my mouth. I was just a beast. They are players, they are living people. They train harder for performance, yes, for

Using drugs for performance is too much."

The football world has always lacked sufficient understanding of the dangers of drugs, or in other words, they know there are dangers, but they always ignore them.

During the 2004 European Cup, Overmars received six injections of cortisone in his knee in order to play. Cortisone is a drug that may lead to paralysis if used for more than nine injections in a lifetime. Likewise, Pannu

When Qi faced the call of the national team, he also injected six injections of analgesics. And this is not the most cruel thing - before the UEFA Champions League game between Real Madrid and Bayern in 2004, Kahn suffered a back injury and played in one breath.

You have to take an injection of painkillers before you can play - these people are simply risking their lives.

And is anyone unlucky about this? Of course there is. Del Piero was reported at the time, and Juventus was able to cover it up for him. But Juventus is so powerful that there is no way to change the laws of reality. After Del Piero was seriously injured, how could he still

Does he have the style of the golden boy back then? Guardiola, who played for Brescia, was involved in a doping incident, and his reputation was ruined in one day. The use of drugs has caused the most serious consequences.

The most serious consequence is that before the 1998 World Cup finals in France, Ronaldo sprained his neck while watching an F1 match. In order to relieve the pain, Ronaldo took eight injections of xylocaine, an analgesic, but the consequences of this drug are

, can increase a person's heart rate and cause complications similar to epilepsy - and Ronaldo's subsequent sleepwalking in the final was largely due to drug complications.

There is a general lack of attention in the football world. The famous football player Agassi took five injections in one trip, including one cortisone and two blockades. He was afraid that his body would have problems and directly chose to retire. And Maradona was

In Naples, he played behind closed doors for twelve consecutive games and received widespread praise - from a medical point of view, this is completely a death-defying rhythm.

Maybe some people say that Maradona’s age is too early? Well, let’s talk about two more recent ones. Ferdinand publicly stated: In order to be able to play, what’s the point of sitting in a wheelchair after retirement? In Li Bin’s memory, Manchester United’s Evans

During the game against Inter Milan, he was assigned to guard Ibrahimovic. Due to injury, he received a shot of sealing before going on the field.

At midfield, I felt that I had performed well in the first half, so I took another shot in order to avoid the effects of the drug wearing off in the second half... And a year later, Thornton also played in a closed field during the game, and the media was also furious.

It's all praise. But shutting down that thing will also cause irreversible damage, but the media doesn't care about those things.

It would be okay if only the players were like this. Sometimes, other people would follow suit. There is a very famous comparison. When Terry played for the national team, he firmly stated: "You have to play even if you are closed." The media immediately

He was praised as the second Butcher. In the same year, Drogba refused to inject analgesics to play, ushering in the media's accusations as "irresponsible evasion". Obviously, the media is the same, only looking at results and not

Look at something else.

What's even worse is that the coach does the same thing. McClaren once asked Gerrard to play a closed game in order to win. For some coaches, victory is their capital, and the life and death of the players has nothing to do with them.

What the hell? So what if the players are paralyzed? They are already champion coaches, have achieved fame, and are admired by thousands of people. Why do they care about that?

These guys really don't treat the players as human beings. Banning the use of banned substances is not something that saints do, but something that anyone with a conscience should consider.

"Whether you're telling the truth or a lie, I have to toast you - it's a good idea to have this idea." Wan Qi heard Li Bin's words and raised his glass.

"Thank you." Li Bin smiled, "And if you think we are right...if you pass, go to Parma to participate in our research. I also hope to get your help."
