Chapter 315 The most incredible thing in the 21st century!
In the Rockets and Spurs, all players who played must undergo urine tests.

After NBA officials took the samples, the teams were free to leave, and the urine test results were due two days later.

The Rockets were no longer in the mood to celebrate.

Many media have started to do interviews and reports. During the interviews, the Rockets players made it very clear, "Every one of our players abides by the rules and regulations of the game, and there is absolutely no use of doping."

The Spurs are very sure that the Rockets are taking stimulants to perform so well.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions and waited for the results of the urine test.

Among the Rockets, head coach Van Gundy was the most worried. After returning to his own territory, he immediately went to the logistics department, found Carter who was in charge of the food, and asked about the Yangyang refreshing sports drink.

"It's a product of the Yangyang Group. We have a good relationship with each other, so the club ordered some. There were only ten boxes. It was very popular, but it was taken away on the first day."

"We reordered dozens of boxes, but it will take at least half a month before delivery. It's really far from China to the United States, spanning half the world... The company that makes beverages should really open a branch in the United States."

Carter grumbled.

Van Gundy is concerned about the urine test. Carter said, "The team doctor has done a test, and there should be no problem. Most of the ingredients in this drink are just water. Of course, this is the case with drinks, but I don't know the specific situation. "

After listening to Carter's words, Van Gundy was a little relieved.

Even if the urine test results are unfavorable to the Rockets, they have an argument, after all, the club passed the test.As for more complicated tests, a club definitely cannot do it.

Doping control in major leagues in the NBA is complicated work.

In other words, doping control all over the world is very complicated work.

The implementation of doping control requires the purchase of a large number of high-tech instruments and equipment, the establishment of a special doping testing laboratory, and the employment and training of a large number of professionals who have mastered testing and analysis techniques, which is very costly.

The cost of conducting doping tests on athletes in the Olympic Games and various major world competitions is quite staggering, and small countries generally cannot afford it.

Doping tests for 1988 athletes in the 1600 Seoul Olympics cost $300 million, or about $1875 per person.

According to the statistics of the International Olympic Committee, in 1989, a total of 52371 people were inspected by countries around the world. Roughly calculated, the cost of doping inspections worldwide at that time was as high as about 1 million U.S. dollars.

After entering the 20s, due to the needs of the international anti-doping struggle, the number of athletes who received in-competition and out-of-competition inspections by various international individual sports federations increased sharply (90 in 1994 and 93680 in 1998). The annual cost of doping control in the world has doubled. In 105250, the International Athletics Federation alone spent 1996 million U.S. dollars on illegal drugs.

If the expenditures of all international sports federations for the 28 major events of the Summer Olympic Games and the 7 major events of the Winter Olympic Games are used to deal with illegal drugs, the International Olympic Committee, the World Anti-Doping Agency, governments and national anti-doping organizations spend When all the anti-doping expenditures are added together, it will be a very huge astronomical figure.

In professional basketball, the situation is slightly better.

Like football and basketball games, due to the long game time, the effect of ordinary stimulants is not obvious, and collective sports also rely more on the overall strength, relying on the head coach's tactics, relying on the cooperation of the whole team, and the individual's role is much weaker.

The doping tests in major leagues in the NBA are generally very few random tests. For example, if a player performs extremely well, he may be selected for a urine test. In terms of probability, on average, a player only takes a urine test once a season. .

The urine test of the NBA major league is much smaller than that of the Olympic Games.

Many known stimulants have almost no effect in professional basketball games, so these ingredients can not be tested, and only those main ingredients that will directly affect a player’s performance can be tested.

Van Gundy was less concerned when he learned that the drink had passed the club's urine test.

The test of the NBA major league is higher-end than that of a club, but there are only a few more ingredients in the test. If the basic ones pass, the chance of containing rare ingredients is not high.

However, the outside media did not see the Rockets passing the urine test, mainly because the Rockets performed so well in the next four rounds that they could no longer be described as good on the spot.

For a team, it is not surprising that there is one player in a game. Even if he plays a dominant performance, it is not surprising at all, but it feels strange that every player in the team performs well.

The media began to analyze the video of the match between the two teams.

Many media concluded, "The Rockets probably used doping to defeat the Spurs."

Even the major leagues in the NBA are unwilling to see this result.

If the entire Rockets team uses doping, it will definitely become a stain on the NBA major league. You must know that the NBA major league is different from the Premier League and Serie A in the football field. They are purely commercial leagues. The combination of various clubs is As a whole, many competitions are performances in order to attract the audience.

Even in the competition for the championship ring, each team will not pay too much attention to the outcome, sometimes the interests are more important than the championship.

This is NBA professional basketball.

If there is a team among them, the whole team uses doping to defeat the opponent, it will definitely become a stain on the NBA major league.

The NBA is not without rivals.

Although the world recognizes the NBA as the top basketball feast, there are other leagues in the United States that are also qualified to challenge the NBA's status in the future.

All in all, the impact of this matter is very large.

In response to this incident, NBA Major League Commissioner David Stern stood up and said very seriously, "If the result disappoints, we will severely punish the team that violated the rules!"

This is David Stern's attitude.

Next, the media and fans paid attention to the development of time, and the urine test was also carried out in an open and transparent manner. Some reporters even entered the testing center to interview the progress of the test on the spot.

This event became the biggest time in the NBA.

A day has passed.

Finally, that night, the NBA officially held a press conference to officially announce the test results.

The number of media reporters who came was very large, and the crowd filled the venue. Representatives of the Rockets sat in the front row and waited, while the Spurs did not send anyone.

The official spokesperson of the NBA Major League took the stage, and the first sentence was, "I regret to announce that..."

The whole place is boiling!

Everyone's first reaction was, "This is going to be bad luck for the Rockets!"

Unexpectedly, the next words were like this, "...San Antonio Spurs player Dean Glover failed the chlorotriphenylene test. His urine test results showed that he used chlorotriphenylene ingredients to promote production. Drugs of hormones."

"The NBA has always emphasized the fairness of the game and does not want anyone or any team to violate this principle. In the end, the league decided to suspend Dean Glover for half a year and fine him $12."

The media in the audience was in an uproar.

Don't they all say that the Rockets have problems?How did the investigation turn out to be a Spurs player?
The only person who laughed was the representative of the Rockets. This representative was still very worried. There were rumors that the Rockets took doping to defeat the Spurs in a row. Sadly, even he thought so. As a staff member of the Rockets, he knows the strength of the team very well. McGrady is very good, Yao Ming is also very good, but after playing so many games in the preseason and playoffs, it is clear how much ability he has. On the surface, it is too difficult for the Rockets to beat the Spurs.

But the Rockets did it!
After falling behind by three games, they won four games in a row and turned the tables into victories!

Incredible!
The Rockets representative was ready to hear the punishment for the team, and he even wondered if all the Rockets would be suspended and declared the Spurs' winner.

The result can be...

It turns out that the Spurs players were found to be doping!
OK!

Then the media in the audience became lively, asking questions one after another. They were still concerned about the Rockets. As for Dean Glover, a fringe player for the Spurs, few people cared at all.

The NBA spokesperson said with certainty, "The Rockets' urine test results are all right, and the exact number will be released on the official website later."

It's daylight!

The media and fans who support the Rockets are encouraged.

What everyone doesn't know is that the testing center of the NBA league is also very incredible about this result.

In the testing center, several bottles of Yangyang refreshing sports drinks were placed there. Several experts tested the drinks by themselves, and they all came to a positive conclusion: "This drink must contain some kind of substance that cannot be detected in the laboratory. Prohibited ingredients."

But they can't detect it.

A group of experts thought about it for a long time and considered many aspects, but there was still no way. Their test results showed that this bottle of drink only contained water and some minerals, and almost nothing else, not even sugar, salt, and vitamins.

But it only contains minerals and water, it's just a bottle of mineral water, how can it have such a novel taste?

This is simply the most incredible thing in the 21st century!
Experts can't figure it out.

After more than a week of research, they could only declare the study a failure.

They couldn't do anything about the bottle of drink.

"Maybe it's a problem with our inspection equipment." Some experts pointed out that the equipment was insufficient, and finally decided to turn to other institutions...
