Chapter 267: Unfair competition

Many people have misunderstood that doping is immediate. Can you run faster and jump higher with one use before the game?

In fact, with the development of technology today, the use of stimulants is more like taking drugs for the treatment of chronic diseases. Athletes use them every day, and the daily measurement is only a little, and the body will quickly metabolize and consume them.

Doping is no longer directly acting on the time period of the game, but the entire process from training to competition. For example, use some stimulants before training, the feeling of fatigue during training is lighter, the training will often take longer, and the training effect will become better. Every day the training effect is very good, after years, the personal level of athletes will naturally be significantly improved.

This is like losing weight, as long as you lose a little bit every day, after a long period of accumulation, you will lose more weight.

When the IOC started anti-doping, stimulants were classified into four categories, and with the advancement of technology, the types of stimulants are also increasing, and now it has reached seven categories.

The earliest stimulants were stimulants, and they were also the most primitive stimulants. This type of stimulant can really have an exciting effect on the nervous system or muscles, thereby improving the performance of athletes. Caffeine, amphetamines, and ephedrine are all stimulants.

This type of stimulant basically has a half-life period, as long as it is in the half-life period, it can be easily detected with a test strip. For example, the half-life of amphetamine is 2 hours to 24 hours. This time fluctuation is relatively large, mainly because each person has a different metabolic rate, different dosage, and different half-life time.

In the last century, domestic athletes have used this type of stimulant. In order to avoid detection, they will use the method of eating watermelon and drinking water to promote urination, speed up the metabolism of physical fitness, and let the stimulant be discharged as soon as possible. in vitro. At that time, many melon farmers gave watermelons to sports teams. A sports team with more people can solve many of the farmers' livelihood problems.

With the advancement of technology, this kind of stimulant is easy to be detected, so the stimulant has become the lowest level of excitement. Nowadays, almost no high-level athletes will be stupid enough to use stimulants.

The second type of stimulant is an analgesic analgesic, such as morphine, heroin, codeine, etc. This kind of thing is already a drug. Even normal people should stay away, let alone athletes. And these kinds of things are not purchased through regular channels, so athletes will not use them.

The third kind of stimulant is a diuretic. In fact, diuretics can't excite the body's nerves or muscles. At most, they can quickly excrete water from the body and reduce body weight. However, diuretics can accelerate metabolism and reduce the metabolites of other stimulants in the body, so that athletes can avoid drug tests, so diuretics are used in conjunction with other stimulants.

The fourth type is the B-blocker, which can selectively combine with the B adrenal gland to produce an stimulating effect on the body. A dozen years ago, B-blockers were rarely used in sports, but later more and more athletes began to use it. The reason is that B-blockers can treat high blood pressure and arrhythmia. A diagnosis of heart problems can be applied to the International Olympic Committee for the legal use of drugs containing B-blockers in the name of treating heart disease.

The fifth category is endogenous peptide hormones, such as human growth hormone, insulin, erythropoietin, androgen, etc. These hormones are hormones secreted by the body itself, because they exist in the body, if the dose used is not large, It is impossible to be detected. However, if the dose is insufficient, these hormones have no effect on stimulants. Therefore, a lot of this type of stimulant must be used to be useful, which also makes it easier to detect.

The sixth type of stimulant is blood stimulant, which can also be called blood red blood cell transfusion technology. Its principle is to give blood to athletes and increase the number of red blood cells in the body, thereby enhancing the blood's ability to carry oxygen. In the 1980s and 1990s, there was a golden age for sprinters. The world record for sprinting has been constantly updated, and excellent sprinters have also emerged. At that time, many athletes used this technique.

The seventh type of stimulant is an anabolic steroid, which is currently the most versatile, the most widely used, the most frequently used, has the highest technological content, and is also the most difficult to detect. Eighty-nine of the athletes who use this type of stimulant are athletes from developed countries with biotechnology, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Those countries with relatively backward technology cannot simply develop stimulants with a sufficiently high level.

Justin Alexander used this kind of excitement before.

...

"What are you talking about? You mean, those well-known track and field coaches are actually using stimulants for athletes?" Li Dai's expression was incredible.

"Is it strange? Not just the United States, but many countries in the world." Blake said calmly.

"Of course it is very strange. I used to be a track and field coach before, and still in our national team. At least at that time, I didn't find any coaches who would use stimulants." Li Dai said.

Blake smiled slightly: "I think it is the gap in the level of technology. The level of technology in the United States is the world's top. In the study of stimulants, many US technology companies and scientific laboratories often play some" side ball ", and more Is to use their technological advantages to make a time difference. "

"For example, in a biological laboratory, whose technological level is ahead of the anti-doping committee, they can use this leadership to continuously provide new products to athletes. The anti-doping committee cannot detect the latest type due to backward technology. Doping, it is impossible to detect the use of doping by athletes. "

Blake ’s subtext is that China ’s technological level is too poor to develop the kind of stimulant that will not be detected by the Anti-Doping Committee.

"Perhaps the system is another reason." Li Dai then added: "The coaches in our country are supported by the government and belong to public officials. They have stable jobs, stable wages, stable benefits, even athlete performance. It ’s not good enough, they do n’t have to worry about losing their jobs. At best, they have less bonuses and fewer promotion channels. Although the situation with stimulants cannot be completely avoided, there are still relatively few people who take risks in front of iron rice bowls.

"Yes, the use of doping is still risky. The anti-doping committee's testing technology is also constantly improving. A technical upgrade will likely detect a large number of athletes who use or are suspected of using doping. This It also forced those laboratories to continuously develop new products. Justin Alexander was found to use stimulants four years ago precisely because of a technical upgrade by the Anti-Doping Committee. The Anti-Doping Committee suddenly improved the detection technology of THG. And Alexander was obviously unaware and continued to use THG, which resulted in thunder. "

"It's like a game where you are chasing after me, the road is one foot tall, the magic is one foot tall." Li Dai sighed, but he suddenly thought of another problem.

"Oh, what about the B bottle retest? The B bottle specimens are to be kept for more than eight years. At the speed of the current technological development, even the most top biological laboratory, in the face of the Anti-Doping Committee, There can't be an eight-year technological advantage. "Li Dai asked.

The urine samples of athletes in international competitions are advertised into AB bottles, A bottles are test specimens, and B bottles are preserved specimens. Athletes were not tested for stimulants at the time of the competition, but several years later, the anti-doping committee's testing technology After the upgrade, it is possible to detect the stimulant components in the B-bottle specimens.

"Eight years is too long. For an athlete, that may be the whole of his career. For athletes, the use of stimulants at the peak of their careers makes millions, enough for him to finish. In the second half of his life, even if it is later detected by the Anti-Doping Committee, it is worthwhile, not to mention that it is only 'possible', and they may not be found. "Blake explained.

The athlete ’s career is very short. After eight years of re-examination, the athletes may have retired or are close to retirement. At this time, the athletes have already received fame and fortune, and all the money they earned has been earned. They were then found to be using stimulants. At most, it is the deprivation of past honors, which has no substantial losses for athletes. Athletes can sincerely apologize, express their willingness to change, and then continue to spend their lives on the world with the money they have earned.

Only Blake went on to say: "In addition, athletes have legal ways to use drugs, which can avoid many types of stimulants."

"Are you talking about exemptions for treatment medication?" Li Dai asked.

"Yes, when Alexander was first detected using stimulants, didn't he justify the treatment of ADHD? Of course, many athletes really use drugs for the treatment of diseases. For example, it is known that swimming is very good for the treatment of asthma. Effective, so many people go to practice swimming in order to treat asthma, and eventually become athletes. However, the medication for asthma contains stimulants, so a large number of swimmers will apply for treatment exemptions. "

Blake said in a sudden pause, and then said: "There will also be many athletes who take advantage of the vacancy of treatment medication and use stimulants under the pretext of treating diseases. I do n’t know how much. But I can give you a data. There are about 700 athletes applying for the exemption for treatment medication, and the number of people participating in the previous Olympic Games in the United States is only about 500. You can compare it. It can be said that more than 70% of the athletes who need to go abroad to participate in the competition will go to the International Olympics. The Commission applied for the exemption for treatment medication. "

"So much?" Li Dai was shocked.

The United States is the world's top sports power, and the level of American athletes is also the world's first. Athletes who can win the encirclement from the domestic domestic competitions and enter the international stage must also be selected among the best. Athlete.

To say that such high-level athletes, it is normal to have individual diseases, but if more than 70% are "sick seedlings", it is obviously impossible. Is it possible that athletes who are "sick seedlings" are much stronger than normal athletes? So they can beat normal people to qualify, which is obviously not physiologically valid

Or the physical quality of the American people is very poor, and the most common are "sick seedlings", so the athletes who appear in the selection competition are also "sick seedlings". But how can this be explained? The people of the world's top sports power have this disease, what kind of sports.

The only answer is that they are using the rules and rationally using stimulants.

However, many people on the Internet have defended American athletes, saying that they are really for the purpose of curing disease. Their practical brains can be analyzed carefully to get an answer. If the excellent athletes are all sick and need to take medicine to cure the disease, Why can we become the world's top? I really thought that the American athletes practiced "Sunflower Collection", and they would be invincible in the world.

Only Blake went on to say: "Of course, not all of these 700 people can pass, and about one-third of them can't get the treatment exemption. But I can be sure that the athletes in track and field events are definitely The one with the most exemptions for therapeutic medication. "

Li Dai took a deep breath and said softly, "You mean ~ www.readwn.com ~ Most track and field athletes are actually using stimulants?"

"And use all kinds of means." Blake then added: "I said these, I hope you can understand, next, you will face an unfair competition. I know you are in track and field training Has a high level of training, but the level of other coaches is not too bad, not to mention those of your opponents, they are very likely to use stimulants. "

"Do you think I can't win those 'pharmacist coaches'?" Li Dai asked.

"It's hard. To be honest, I really don't like you." Blake shook his head: "Alexander before the ban was the 'second world trapeze', second only to Jitel, and his comeback is destined to be affected by people. Focus on, if he has a bad comeback this time, there will inevitably be a lot of doubts, which will also affect the reputation of our training center and your personal reputation. "

Speaking of this, Blake looked at Li Dai, but found that Li Dai had a confident smile, and his eyes showed a strong fighting spirit, as if victory was in sight.

"Is it unfair competition? Other coaches have stimulants, and I have a systemic bonus. Is this really unfair to them!" Li Dai thought secretly.
