Chapter 87 Illegal Drugs

In the lounge, Chen Yu, who had just finished surgery, received a call from Guardiola.

"You are quite well informed." Chen Yu said with a smile.

And at this time, it should be late at night in Spain.

Could it be that Guardiola didn't sleep and was waiting for the results of the operation?
Guardiola explained: "There are reporters over there that I know, and I asked them to call me as soon as the operation is over and tell me, Chen, how is Ronnie?"

Chen Yu looked at the report on the table, slowly frowned, and said casually: "Very good, the operation was successful."

"Great."

Guardiola shouted excitedly on the phone and thanked him again.

"No, it's you. How is your recovery?" Chen Yu asked.

He should have returned to the team.

Sure enough, Guardiola has returned to the team and started rehabilitation training.

After a brief chat, they also talked about Guardiola's thoughts on leaving Barcelona.

Guardiola only said on the phone that he was still considering it, but Chen Yu could tell from his tone that when you are hesitating, you are actually ready to leave, and you are just constantly looking for reasons to convince yourself.

"that……"

Speaking of leaving the team, Guardiola thought of Baggio again.

Just this month, Italian national team coach Trapattoni was asked by a reporter about his idea of ​​forming a national team in an interview. He replied that he needed a healthy, young and impactful national team.

There is nothing wrong with this answer in itself, but in the reporter's interpretation, players like Baggio who are old and not healthy enough have been excluded from the national team by Trapattoni.

Guardiola knew the news, so he once again came up with the idea of ​​asking Chen Yu to re-diagnose and treat Baggio.

But when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them hard.

This was all his own wishful thinking, and even he and Baggio were not very familiar with each other, so why should he help others make decisions.

"correct."

Chen Yu suddenly spoke, interrupting Guardiola's thoughts: "Josep, let me ask you if you are taking a drug called zinc magnesium."

On the other end of the phone, Guardiola froze suddenly, his tone changed, and asked what was wrong in a tentative tone.

"It's like this." Chen Yu explained: "Ronnie has been admitted to the hospital in the past two days. I carefully asked about his past medical history and medication history, and found that he had taken some drugs, such as Phyllo tablets, which should be a creatine drug. ."

"In addition, he is also taking a drug called Zinc Magnesium. I found that his testosterone levels have always exceeded the standard. After ruling out all possibilities, I think it should be a problem with this Zinc Magnesium."

On the instructions for Zinc Magnesium, it is stated that this drug mainly contains zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6.

But Chen Yu felt something was wrong and took a test at St. Luke's Hospital. He just got the test report.

Sure enough, in this medicine, in addition to the three main ingredients labeled, an unknown ingredient was also found.

Chen Yu asked Milani carefully, and she told Chen Yu that Ronaldo often took this drug. It is said that it can quickly restore muscle strength after high-intensity exercise.

At the same time in Serie A, Ronaldo and many player friends are using this drug.

St. Luke's testing laboratory was not specialized enough to determine the chemical formula of this ingredient.

But judging from the final drug effect, its role can also be inferred.

Increase testosterone and restore muscle strength, this is clearly a steroid!

Any kind of steroid is an illegal drug.

Knowing that Guardiola and Ronaldo knew each other, Chen Yu asked casually.

"And creatine, this thing."

Chen Yu grinned.

Steroids are 100% banned, but creatine, as a supplement, is not included in the list of banned drugs.

Because the content is also high in normal red meat.

However, if you use too much of any kind of thing, there will always be disadvantages, such as increasing the metabolic pressure on the kidneys and liver. Taking large amounts for a long time will definitely cause problems.

Guardiola's tone weakened: "Then what's the problem with it?"

When he asked, Chen Yu had already guessed that this guy must be using it too.

Chen Yu definitely does not support athletes taking drugs.

But many times, others use it and influence each other, and then you also use it.

And medicines are constantly being updated and iterated. Many times, your coach or agent may tell you that there is a medicine that is good for you, and then you take it.

There are a lot of tricks here, and it's a gray area. All Chen Yu can do is fulfill his responsibility as a reminder.

"It's a serious problem. I've asked Ronnie not to take it anymore. If I were you, I would definitely not touch this drug in the future."

Guardiola is a smart man and should understand.

After a pause, Chen Yu added: "Actually, if you want to gain muscle, you should train naturally. Taking drugs will have a strong effect in a short time, but in the long run, it will cause many unpredictable consequences to the body. An athlete's career only lasts a few years, but after retirement, he still has many years to live, so he can't be left with injuries."

Having said that, to put it another way, some people want to use drugs, get grades, and earn enough money to spend a lifetime just for the sake of their careers in the past few years.

It is said that there will be sequelae, but does high-intensity training have no sequelae?
There's no way to tell what's going on here.

Anyway, if I saw it, I would definitely dissuade him.

Fortunately, in team sports such as football and basketball, drugs are not so common, because sometimes the food is real food, and you cannot become stronger by taking drugs.

"I know." Guardiola agreed, paused, and thanked him again.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu picked up the report in his hand again, feeling a headache.

This thing is obviously a new gadget.

Chen Yu felt that its name was definitely not on the current list of banned drugs.

If it's not on the list, wouldn't it be illegal to use it?
Although doping and anti-doping organizations have been playing a game of cat and mouse, don't forget that others will come after you.

If you can't find out now, it doesn't mean you can't find out in the future. When the time comes to find out what's behind it, you will still be the one who loses your reputation.

So it’s better not to use it if you can.

If you really want to become stronger, you should train honestly and avoid taking shortcuts.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu took out a medicine bottle, poured out a few pills, and mailed it to UCLA.

Chen Yu knew that there was an anti-doping laboratory there.

At least first determine what this thing is.

Return to the ward.

Ronaldo woke up early and his right knee was fixed and unable to move.

Moratti and his three dear agents are all there.

Chen Yu checked the indications and medication records, and told Ronaldo to take a good rest.

His clinic is already under renovation. Soon, not only him, but also Hardaway will be able to move there for recuperation.

After telling him, Chen Yu was ready to leave.

He is still the team doctor of the Suns. Although Brian has never complained, Chen Yu can't really take money and do nothing.

Today is the 17th, and the Suns have training scheduled.

Tomorrow, the Suns will start another four consecutive away games, so it will be the last daily training before the four consecutive away games.

Chen Yu planned to rush there early to officially start his training and transformation plan.

But as soon as he walked out of the door, Moratti caught up with him.

The two came to a corner of the corridor.

"Chen, I am very grateful to you. You are a good doctor. I am very lucky that Ronnie can meet you." Moratti came up and thanked him first.

Chen Yu has heard this no less than ten times.

"There is no need to say thank you anymore. Ronny is a very important patient. If he is well treated, it will be good for me." Chen Yu waved his hand and reminded: "By the way, you should ride your bicycle more often."

The old man's lumbar spine still showed signs of misalignment.

Moratti nodded to show that he remembered, and said: "Actually, I have one more thing. I have a friend. There is a player in his team who is in a similar situation to Ronnie. He also suffered ligament damage. After the operation, , the recovery is not ideal, so..."

Chen Yu interrupted him: "No problem, but I have a lot of things recently and may not be able to go to Europe. If possible, let him come to the United States and I will see how he is doing."

As the World Footballer, treating Ronaldo can obviously help him develop the football business.

No, patients came to us on their own initiative.

"By the way, what's his name?" Chen Yu asked casually.

"Fernando Redondo."

Moratti sighed.

He has always had thoughts about this top-level defensive midfielder who is full of energy.

However, after landing in Serie A from Real Madrid last year, this guy lacked some luck.

On the second day after becoming an official player of AC Milan, I even injured myself while running.

Silvio helped Ronaldo find a doctor before.

Now, perhaps because he saw Chen Yu performing surgery on Ronaldo, Silvio contacted Moratti and wanted Chen Yu to diagnose Redondo.

He spent 1700 million US dollars to bring this star from Real Madrid, but he didn't play a single game. It really felt unfair.

Chen Yu wrote down his name, turned around and left.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Yu arrived at the American West Arena. "Melissa." After the department meeting, Chen Yu called nutritionist Melissa Goodwin and asked for today's recipe.

Normally, if the team arranges training, for example today, from 10 to 12 o'clock, after two hours of training, the team will provide lunch.

Melissa will be responsible for this lunch. She will formulate a special nutritional recipe based on the players' daily exercise volume and physical condition.

Chen Yu didn't waste any time. He brought over a suitcase and said, "I plan to add some things to the recipe."

Saying that, he opened the suitcase.

As early as during the meeting, Melissa noticed that Chen Yu was carrying a suitcase and was curious about what was inside. When she saw Chen Yu open it, she immediately knelt down to check.

"BOSS, what are these?"

Melissa grabbed a package: "This should be American ginseng. I know it seems to be grown in Wisconsin. It is said to contain saponins, but it has been exported to East Asia."

As a professional nutritionist, Melissa knows a lot.

Chen Yu said: "This is not American ginseng, it is ginseng from China."

Chen Yu knew that American ginseng, its English word is ginseng, but ginseng comes from East Asia, and there is not even a special English word to refer to it.

In the United States, there is almost zero understanding of it.

This is American ginseng, or American ginseng. If he hadn't gone out of his way to understand it, Chen Yu wouldn't have known about it.

In the United States, no one eats this stuff. They always think it is a food.

Not to mention, passing the cumbersome drug certification to become a drug.

However, in the system Chen Yu received, there was a relevant introduction, saying that ginseng from East Asia was not the same thing as American ginseng produced in the United States and Canada.

Regarding this, Chen Yu was actually skeptical.

Because there is not much difference between these two things in terms of color, shape, etc. The most important thing is that they are produced at the same latitude, and their growing environment and climate are similar.

That should have the same effect.

But since the system said otherwise, Chen Yu could only believe it first.

In the United States, these things are not easy to buy either.

Thanks to some connections, it was mailed from Los Angeles.

The guy who sold the things to Chen Yu said that no one in the United States buys these things except the Chinese.

Melissa said oh and then asked what these things were for.

She recognized this American ginseng in a box of things.

The rest are a mess, some look like grass roots, some look like grass blades, all kinds of strange things, I have no idea what they are.

"Just some health care products." Chen Yu thought for a while and explained. Chen Yu learned all this knowledge from the system, so he followed the prescriptions and didn't understand the principles deeply enough.

When she heard it was a health product, Melissa didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Yu took Melissa to the kitchen, took out the medicinal materials one by one, and prepared the medicine.

"I'm going to add two more recipes, one for custard and one for tea."

Chen Yu grabbed the medicine.

Melissa was nearby recording the dosage.

"This is a tea that enhances physical fitness." Chen Yu introduced.

The prescription given in the system is called Physical No. [-]. Its main effects are to reduce body fat rate, increase hemoglobin, enhance aerobic capacity and anaerobic endurance, and also have the effects of eliminating fatigue, improving sleep, and increasing appetite.

The prescription is quite complex, consisting of 10 traditional Chinese medicines: ginseng, rehmannia glutinosa, peony, fairy spleen, eucommia ulmoides, cistanche deserticola, turmeric, motherwort, cassia twig, and donkey-hide gelatin.

Originally it was a prescription, but Chen Yu didn't want to talk about it as a medicine, otherwise problems would arise.

Anyway, what came out in the end was concoction, so let’s call it tea.

Tea is something that Americans are quite familiar with.

"During the meeting just now, I said that I would increase the training intensity appropriately, so this tea will help improve physical fitness."

By increasing the intensity of training, the condition will naturally improve and the team's record will be better.

But similarly, as the intensity of training increases, the risk of injuries also increases.

During that period of time in the Magic, the players had no problems. A large part of the reason was that Chen Yu kept an eye on them and helped them with massages and rehabilitation after training.

Now that we have come to the sun, we can completely copy it.

At the same time, this prescription is used for assistance.

"After increasing the training intensity, the body's consumption will also increase, so you need to increase energy intake on the original basis. At the same time, you also need to promote digestion. This is another food I want you to add, which is Custard.”

Take 5g each of yam, poria, lotus seeds, hawthorn, malt, chicken gizzard, and tangerine peel, grind them into powder, add egg liquid, and steam them into custard.

It is not unpalatable, and it can replenish qi, nourish the spleen and stomach.

Melissa nodded, adding a side of egg custard is okay, she often makes it to supplement the protein.

But with the powder mixed in, she wasn't sure there would be a problem.

"Chen, are you sure these things are edible?" Melissa asked worriedly.

Don't cause problems with eating.

Chen Yu picked up a piece of hawthorn and stuffed it directly into his mouth: "Of course, it's just some food. Try it. It's delicious."

Melissa took it, took a bite, raised her eyebrows, and stuffed the rest into her mouth.

Sweet and sour, the taste is good.

Chen Yu also knew what Melissa was worried about, and said: "Don't worry, these things are edible, and if there is any problem, I will pay attention to it at any time."

Upon hearing this, Melissa didn't ask any more questions.

It will take some time for the players to arrive, so Chen Yu will take physical fitness first.

For this reason, Chen Yu also bought several casseroles.

Find an assistant, teach him how to cook it, and let him watch it.

You can’t drink it in time before training, so drink it after training today. Later, you can boil it into a concoction and drink it regularly and quantitatively.

Training Course.

Players have arrived one after another.

But today Nelson did not take them to warm up, but called them together.

Soon, Chen Yu arrived.

"Everyone, we are going to make some changes in the warm-up before today's training. Please follow me." Chen Yu did not say much and directly led everyone in the warm-up.

First, the most basic physical activity.

Then we got to the point.

Wuqinxi.

The effect it describes on long-term health care and enhancing body immunity has yet to be verified.

However, it uses movements similar to yoga and can reach every part of the body, so it is still very suitable for warm-up exercises.

"Follow me."

Chen Yu faced everyone and started his first tiger show.

Even Nelson and others were practicing alongside him.

"Just move as much as you can bear." Chen Yu reminded.

There are some players whose body flexibility is obviously not up to par, and some actions cannot be done properly.

Upon hearing this, Kidd, who was crouching his hands in front of his chest and leaning back as hard as he could, immediately stood up straight. His waist was so stiff that this movement almost caused him to fall to the ground.

Chen Yu added speechlessly: "But we can't be lazy."

Kidd looked bitter and leaned back quickly.

"What on earth are we doing? It's so awkward." In the back row, Dudley struggled to imitate Chen Yu's movements and said hello with a face full of greetings.

Gugliotta next to him said with a serious face: "She should be doing yoga."

This kind of strange movements can only be found in yoga.

At the same time, Skiles arrived at the training ground with several assistant coaches.

As soon as I looked up, I saw the big drama here.

Especially when they saw everyone's hands turned into claws and their buttocks thrust forward, everyone was even more confused.

Isn't this action a bit inelegant?
Jim Boylan quickly looked around. Today was a closed training session, and there were no reporters on the sidelines.

Otherwise, if this was photographed by a reporter and published in a newspaper, it would be funny.

Scales came over quickly: "Chen, what are you doing?"

"Warm up."

Chen Yu kept moving and said: "It is a kind of fitness exercise that is good for the body. Do you want to do it too?"

Do together?

Scales took one look and then retracted his hands, leaning back. The others, whose movements were a bit obscene, shuddered and hurriedly shook their heads to express no need.
