After all, China's sports industry has made steady progress. Even without Jiao Lihong, the overall results are still quite good, and we cannot afford any negative news.
After Jiao Lihong went for the drug test, she went to see Director Jiao.
Head Coach Wu dared not let Jiao Lihong act alone, so he sent two people to accompany her.
Not only was a urine test given to Jiao Lihong, but then urine tests were given to all the other team members, and a search was started of each team member's suitcase and room.
Director Jiao was very busy, but when he heard his niece's panicked voice as she arrived, he was also a little worried and quickly let her in.
"Uncle, you must save me this time. If you don't, my life is over," Jiao Lihong said hurriedly, grabbing her uncle's arm and begging for his help.
Director Jiao was puzzled and frowned, asking, "What exactly happened to you? Weren't you just talking? Instead of preparing for the competition, you're causing all this trouble."
Jiao Lihong didn't care about anything else; she had already been caught, and she was worried that things would become increasingly complicated.
"Uncle, I was feeling down before and bought a bottle of stimulants," Jiao Lihong said anxiously.
"What?" Director Jiao was stunned. "What did you say? Doping? You took performance-enhancing drugs?"
Jiao Lihong shook her head and said, "No, Uncle, I didn't take it. I originally wanted to give it to someone else, but after hearing your advice, I didn't dare to do anything so heinous. But when I got back to my room, I found the banned drugs and wanted to throw them away. Just as I was about to pour them out, I discovered that there was only half a bottle left. Before Coach Wu and Team Doctor Li came, I had no idea that they already knew about this. I was just scared and wanted to throw away the banned drugs. I felt that someone had stolen the drugs from my hand and was framing someone else to pin the blame on me."
Upon hearing this, Director Jiao slapped Jiao Lihong hard across the face and scolded, "Instead of training properly, you're always thinking about these crooked ways. Don't think you're so smart and everyone else is a fool. Don't you know that your stupid actions have already been seen by others? If that person had taken those performance-enhancing drugs themselves, that would be one thing. But if someone gives the drugs you bought to someone else, or frames He Tiantian, then you'll be guilty of a heinous crime."
Ignoring her pain, Jiao Lihong quickly explained to her uncle, not wanting to be framed.
“Uncle, I really didn’t do it. I was just thinking of throwing the medicine away, but I don’t know how it disappeared,” Jiao Lihong said. “I put it in my suitcase, very well hidden, no one knows. By the way, no one has entered my room since today. This room is more upscale, and without a room key, you can’t just go in.”
Director Jiao was so angry he was trembling all over. What an idiot!
“Since no one can just go in freely, it’s obviously not an outsider who did it, nor was it a waiter who went through your luggage. It’s probably someone from your room who did it,” Director Jiao said. “Who was your roommate?”
Jiao Lihong was stunned, clearly unable to believe Director Jiao's speculation, and said, "No... impossible..."
"Hmph! Fool," Director Jiao said. "Impossible? How do you know it's impossible? Tell me, who is it?"
Jiao Lihong was almost in tears; she couldn't believe it was her good friend who did it.
“My roommate is Cai Fenfang,” Jiao Lihong said. “But we’re usually very close, she should…”
"How do you know you didn't?" Director Jiao said coldly. "I'll ask you one last time, did you take any performance-enhancing drugs?"
Jiao Lihong shook her head and said, "No, Uncle, I really didn't take any. When Coach Wu and Team Doctor Li caught me cleaning up those pills, I realized I hadn't taken any. I've already had a urine test, so there definitely won't be any problems."
Upon hearing this, Director Jiao calmed down from his anger; the situation wasn't the worst yet.
As long as the urine test is normal, Director Jiao can allow Jiao Lihong to participate in the competition.
If you achieve good results in the competition, things will be easier to handle afterwards.
If doping is involved, then the player should be immediately withdrawn from the competition and kicked out of the national team. Even if he is the director, he cannot protect him.
"Okay, after you go back, stay in your room and don't go anywhere. I'll go find Head Coach Wu," Director Jiao said. In order for his niece to participate in the competition smoothly, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and beg Head Coach Wu, and also agree to some of Head Coach Wu's requests.
Hearing her uncle's words, Jiao Lihong felt a little relieved.
After returning home, I hid in my room and didn't dare to speak.
The other team members were unaware of Jiao Lihong's situation, so they didn't look at her differently.
Cai Fenfang returned home in the evening, in a very good mood.
Jiao Lihong looked up at Cai Fenfang and asked, "Did you touch my things?"
Cai Fenfang was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Lihong, what's wrong? When did I touch your things?"
Seeing that Cai Fenfang didn't seem to be faking it made Jiao Lihong hesitate again.
If Cai Fenfang didn't know, then if she did, wouldn't that mean another person would find out?
Jiao Lihong stopped talking and stared wide-eyed at the ceiling.
"Lihong, what's wrong? What happened?" Cai Fenfang asked anxiously, worried that something had happened to Jiao Lihong.
If it were before, Jiao Lihong would have already told Cai Fenfang, but after experiencing something like this, she doesn't trust anyone anymore. She does what her uncle says and doesn't tell anyone.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired," Jiao Lihong said. "Okay, I'm going to rest now, you should rest early too."
Jiao Lihong, with her back to Cai Fenfang, did not see the fleeting smug expression on Cai Fenfang's face.
Seeing that Jiao Lihong wouldn't say anything, Cai Fenfang had no choice but to go back to rest.
Now, Director Jiao went to see Head Coach Wu in person. Seeing Head Coach Wu's serious expression, he felt a little uneasy.
"Old Wu, I've come to apologize to you this time," Director Jiao said. "I really didn't know Li Hong had any illegal drugs. She just told me that she almost went astray, but luckily she pulled back from the brink and didn't take the drugs." Director Jiao said, feeling aggrieved. When had he ever been so humble to Old Wu?
Head Coach Wu despised Director Jiao, but it was during the Olympics, and he didn't want to fall out with Director Jiao over this matter, as it would affect the Olympic results and the country's image, making them sinners in history.
"This matter is currently under investigation," Head Coach Wu said. "Not many people know about it. If Jiao Lihong's urine test is normal, I will let her participate in the competition. But if the urine test is abnormal, she will be withdrawn from the competition. After all, the opening ceremony is tomorrow, and the competition starts the day after tomorrow. You know better than I how important this Olympics is to us."
