Chapter 574 What do you think I should do?
Gu Siqing didn't know what those people thought of her, and of course she didn't care. In life, it's impossible to please everyone. Besides, who were they? Why should she care about whether they were happy or not when doing things?
After eating a bowl of noodles, Gu Siqing checked the time. It was only around ten o'clock, so she went back to her room to read. As soon as she sat down, her cell phone rang. It was Han Zhengping. He said, "Fan Yangbo's parents contacted Wei Yang and said they knew they were wrong and wanted to reconcile."
"No reconciliation," Gu Siqing said without thinking.
Han Zhengping chuckled, "I knew you would say that. Don't worry about it. I'll leave it to Wei Yang."
"Yeah, I know."
When this happened, Gu Siqing was quite angry, but now she doesn't feel anything anymore. But she can't just let it go, or else the same thing might happen again.
"Will you take a rest this weekend?" Han Zhengping asked.
Now Gu Siqing doesn't have a fixed weekend off. She takes turns to rest. But this weekend she happened to have a break, so she said, "Rest, what are your plans?"
Han Zhengping: "Let's go hiking."
They are both busy now and have very little time to go out together.
Gu Siqing agreed without hesitation. She had work to do and meetings to attend. She had thought she'd have a relaxing time after graduation, but she'd become even busier. But it was fulfilling, and she loved her life now.
The two of them had agreed to go hiking on the weekend, and then Gu Siqing thought they could have a barbecue outdoors. She asked the aunt at home to prepare some barbecue ingredients. After she had given them everything, she went to work at the TV station.
She was familiar with the work, and although it was still very busy, she was able to do it with ease, and she could also take a break to go out and breathe. She walked to the window in the corridor with a cup of water and stood there, drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside.
At this moment, she heard two people talking quietly on the other side of the corner. Gu Siqing didn't want to listen to other people's conversation, after all, it was impolite. But the content of their conversation made her stand there and listen secretly.
"Did you really see athletes from the national team taking stimulants?" someone asked.
"Really? I was covering the last sports meet and accidentally saw it," another person said.
"You'd better keep this matter to yourself and don't tell anyone."
"I know. If I saw athletes from other countries doping, I would definitely expose it. But how could I dare to do that to our own athletes? It's quite disillusioning though."
"Alas, I heard this happens in other countries too, but it seems difficult to detect with current technology."
"But if other countries find out about this, it would be embarrassing."
"This is not something we can control. We just need to do our own thing."
The two chatted for a few more minutes and then left, but Gu Siqing was terrified. Taking stimulants, if discovered, would definitely be a huge scandal.
Gu Siqing thought carefully about the sports news in her previous life. In fact, doping was rampant in the sports world in the 1980s and 1990s, but the technology of that era made it impossible to detect doping effectively.
Not to mention China, it's not uncommon for athletes abroad to take performance-enhancing drugs. However, technology is advancing, and who knows what methods the organizers of the next sports event will use to conduct testing?
Gu Siqing didn't know how many people on the national sports team took stimulants before competition, but she was sure San Jing definitely didn't. However, even if San Jing didn't, if more people on the national team took stimulants and were discovered, it would have an impact on San Jing.
After all, every athlete represents the entire national team and the entire country.
I have to have a good talk with Sanjing about this matter. Even if I can't guarantee that no one in the entire national team takes stimulants, I have to ensure that no one in the diving team takes them.
Sanjing happened to be on vacation this week. When Gu Siqing got home at around nine o'clock on Saturday evening, the first thing she did was to run to Gu Sanjing's room.
After entering, she saw her sitting on the bed reading a book. Gu Siqing walked over and climbed onto the bed, huddled up with her and said, "Why are you so quiet today? Are you reading a book?"
"I'm about to retire and go to school. I should adapt myself in advance." Gu Sanjing moved her body, and the two sisters sat side by side on the bed.
"Well, let me ask you something." Gu Siqing wanted to get straight to the point.
"You say." Gu Sanjing said.
Gu Siqing: "Are there many people taking performance-enhancing drugs in the national sports team?"
After hearing her words, Gu Sanjing's smiling face slowly darkened. She asked, "Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"
Gu Siqing recounted the conversation she heard on TV today, then asked, "Is it serious?"
Gu Sanjing sighed deeply and said, "Yes, there are quite a few, especially in the past two years."
She was reluctant to say it. Sports games were supposed to be fair competitions, but how could there be fairness when people were taking stimulants?
"Is there any in your team?" Gu Siqing asked again.
"There should be," Gu Sanjing lowered her head, her grip on the book tightening. "The Olympics are coming up soon, and the qualifying rounds have already taken place. Some people's results are obviously much better than usual."
Gu Siqing heard the loss in her voice, took her arm and asked, "Does it have a big impact on you?"
Gu Sanjing shook her head. "I'm still number one at the moment, but it's had a significant impact on Zuo Mingyan. Some people have surpassed her, and some have even suggested I change my partner."
Gu Siqing was silent for a moment, trying to organize her words. Then she said, "We can't tolerate this any longer. I think you should talk to Coach Pei."
"In fact, the problem of doping is not only happening in our country, but also in other countries. If it is discovered, it will be a scandal, and if it is not discovered, it may be a championship." Gu Sanjing's voice was muffled. She was under a lot of pressure now.
If everyone stopped using performance-enhancing drugs, she's confident she could maintain her championship status, at least within the national diving team. But with performance-enhancing drugs, it's hard to say. Even so, she hasn't considered using performance-enhancing drugs; that's the bottom line.
"In fact, for long-term development, the country should have introduced relevant regulations and banned stimulants earlier." Gu Siqing whispered to Gu Sanjing, "Technology is becoming more and more advanced, and the means of detecting stimulants are also becoming more and more advanced. You are currently testing for stimulants with urine tests, but maybe next time it will be blood tests.
If it's discovered that many members of the national team are using performance-enhancing drugs, it will have a significant impact on our country's sports. We also hope that one day our country can host the Olympics, but if performance-enhancing drugs can't be eradicated in our country, how can our bid for the Olympics be successful?
"What do you think I should do?" Gu Sanjing looked at Gu Siqing and asked.
Gu Siqing: "Do you want to?"
"Of course I want to," Gu Sanjing said, "but I don't know how to do it. After all, I'm just an athlete."
: Everyone, please don’t bring it in.
