In the evening, Wharton quietly came to Sebastian's house.

"The people of the International Anti-Doping Organization have already come to the United States? They have also brought the latest illicit drug testing technology. You should have heard about this matter?" Sebastian asked a little embarrassedly.

"I heard about this." Wharton stared at Sebastian, and then asked: "My name was in the previous investigation report. Should I be found out?"

Sebastian hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Well, this does not rule out this possibility."

"Do not rule out this possibility? How could this be? You told me that Franklin's technology is ahead of the international anti-doping organization for many years, so it is absolutely impossible to be detected?" Wharton was anxious.

"Something unexpected happened to me, which I did not expect." Sebastian replied.

"So what should we do? If I was detected using illegal drugs, I would not be able to go to the Olympics, and I would be banned." Wharton almost jumped.

"Calm down. I came to you to discuss countermeasures." Sebastian waited for Wharton to calm down, and then said: "I have always claimed that I have never used any prohibited drugs for athletes, so if If you are found out, I hope you can take it on yourself. "

"I will take it on my own? What are you kidding! They will punish me for suspension, which would ruin my career!" Wharton shouted at Sebastian.

"Wharton, you are still young, even if you are suspended for a few years, you will still be at the peak of your career, which is not a big loss for you." Sebastian persuaded.

"It's not a big loss? Ha ha ..." Wharton sneered, and he continued: "I think you want to leave me to protect yourself?"

"It's good for you and me. Anyway, you will be found using illegal drugs. Why should you catch me?" Sebastian said.

"Don't you give me the things I use!" Wharton snorted: "You don't want to leave the relationship alone."

"You used it voluntarily. Did you use stimulants at the time, wasn't it to improve your grades? You can't stand the temptation of stimulants, can you blame me?" Sebastian changed his expression to a serious expression, and then said : "Besides, I did it for your own good. As long as you take everything up, I will find ways to plead for you. With my connections, you will only face very light punishments, maybe only a short one or two. It ’s a year ’s ban. If you perform well during the ban, you can also get a reduced sentence. If I even get in, there ’s no one to plead with you. ”

"Did you say that to Justin Alexander back then? Put all the blame on the athletes, but you escaped yourself." Wharton's tone was full of irony, and he continued: "I'm not that Alexander idiot, I trust you so easily. I guess you are insecure now? "

Being hurt by Wharton, Sebastian's expression instantly became cruel, and he said in a threatening tone: "You better think about the situation you are facing now. I just need Said that you used the illegal drugs yourself. I did n’t participate in the whole process and did n’t know about it, so I can put all the blame on you. What can you do with me? After all, you are the stimulant, you do n’t have any The evidence can prove that the illegal drugs were provided by me. "

"So cooperating with me obediently and taking all this matter down is the best result for you and a result that is beneficial to both of us. You are a smart person and don't need me to explain too much, you should be able to think clearly about this The pros and cons. "

...

Walking out of Sebastian's house, Wharton's face was lost, and he didn't know how to choose.

"What should I do? Do I really have to bear everything? Will Sebastian really plead for me? Will my career be ruined?"

"Perhaps I should find someone to discuss." Wharton thought of this, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the broker's phone number.

An hour later, Wharton saw his agent in a small bar. Wharton found a small table near the corner and told the agent everything about the matter.

"Sebastian actually let you carry everything down? How can this be done!" The agent immediately shook his head.

In the eyes of the economic man, if Wharton is suspended, it will inevitably fail to receive advertising endorsements, and brokers will also lose a lot of broker commissions. . Therefore, the agent must not allow Wharton to be suspended for a long time, so he does not want to see Wharton fight this thing alone.

"I really don't know what to do." Wharton said decadently.

The agent's eyes rolled and he thought about it, he said: "We can preemptively. Isn't Sebastian trying to put all the responsibilities on you? Then you can also put all the responsibilities on Seba. Stian. We can hold a press conference admitting the use of stimulants, and the mastermind is Sebastian. And you are just ignorant and deceived by Sebastian. "

"But I have no evidence in my hand." Wharton said helplessly.

"Your words are the most favorable evidence." The agent's solemn face, then said: "This is a life-and-death war, you and Sebastian, any one bears all the responsibilities, the other person It is possible to escape punishment. So are you hoping to fight Sebastian for all the guilt and then be banned yourself, or vice versa? "

...

Williams, CEO of the American Athletic Association, can be regarded as a very successful manager. After he became the CEO of the American Association of Athletics Associations, he signed several large sponsors for the American Association of Athletics Associations, which brought hundreds of millions of annual revenues to the American Association of Athletics Associations. In addition, he has negotiated with a number of TV broadcasters on TV broadcast agreements, making the Tianxie's influence rapidly expand.

However, Williams is now facing the biggest crisis since he became CEO of the American Association of Athletics Associations.

The doping scandal is a heavy punch for the entire American sports world, and for track and field sports, it is even more desperate. Track and field sports have always been the most widespread sport of doping. Every time in the history of mass stimulant outbreaks, track and field events are bound to be the hardest hit areas involving the most athletes.

This time it was the same. The American Athletic Association suffered heavy losses in this doping scandal.

The door of Williams's office was closed, and there were only two people in the room, CEO Williams, and the second-ranking leader of the American Association of Athletics, Chief Operating Officer Frey.

Frey noticed that Williams looked dignified, and he had guessed what was in his heart, but he still asked: "Mr. Williams, has the International Anti-Doping Organization already reached a conclusion?"

"Yes, the conclusion has come out, but it has not yet been announced. This matter is too extensive. Once the result is officially announced, it will cause a global sensation. The Olympics is approaching, and the International Olympic Committee does not want to be here. When such a serious scandal occurred, the anti-doping committee was instructed to deal with it in a low-key manner. "Williams replied.

"Low-key handling, that's good, that's good." Frey breathed out a sigh of relief.

Williams still does not have the slightest optimism. He continued: "Although low-key processing is good for us and can reduce the negative impact, it does not mean that the athletes and coaches involved will not be punished. The suspension is affirmative. To give, but more important is the upcoming Olympics. "

Williams finished, took a document from the table, handed it to Frey, and then said: "Look at it, this is the list of athletes who have been detected as suspected of using illegal drugs. This list has not been published. I got it through personal relationships. The athletes above must not be able to participate in the Olympics. "

Frey took the list and looked at it hastily, his expression became very dignified, and then he counted the names one by one carefully. Moments later, Frey counted his name, and his expression was already mourning.

"Can't anyone on these lists go? Can't it work and allow the IOC to get accustomed to one or two? The IOC takes so much money from our United States every year, and it's time for them to repay us, like As always, "Frey asked.

"I'm afraid it won't work. This time it's not more extensive than before, and the evidence is very sufficient. If the IOC gives us a green light, other countries will definitely oppose it, and it will also affect the credibility of the IOC. . Now the enthusiasm of various countries to bid for the Olympic Games is getting worse. If the International Olympic Committee loses its credibility, I am afraid that no one will even host the Olympic Games in the future. "Williams said.

"I remember that many of them are athletes who forged medical records for reasonable use of drugs. Can we open the net? We can publish them and say that they have not forged medical records." Frey continued to ask.

Williams shook his head: "If it only involves us, it's okay to say, but the FBI and the American Medical Association have already intervened in this matter, and the media has been staring at this matter. Those doctors who write fake prescriptions will confess sooner or later. At that time, we will become the target of public criticism.

"But there are too many athletes involved in this list. I just counted that 73 of our national team are on the list. All the athletes of our national track and field team, plus the bench Only 154 people! If none of these 73 people can participate in the Olympics, we are equal to half the players. "Frey said.

"So it can only be postponed according to the results of the trial." Williams continued: "According to the regulations, the top three in the trial will be qualified for the Olympic Games. If someone can't participate, the fourth place will be added, and the fourth place will also be added. If you ca n’t compete, let the fifth place, and so on. We have so many track and field athletes in the United States, we can definitely get people together. "

"I'm not very optimistic. For example, in the women's 100m project, two of the top three of our selection are on this list, and the fourth, sixth and seventh places are also on this list, maybe other The project will have a similar situation. "Frey sighed.

"We have no other way now. And besides athletes, coaching is also a very serious problem. As you can see, the list of coaches involved is more serious than athletes. The coaches recruited by the national team have been wiped out this time. , All on the list! "Williams said worriedly.

Frey looked at the list, ironically mocking himself: "It's ironic, the national team of the world's first track and field power, the largest Olympic track and field event delegation, there will be no coach! This is good, the world depends on us Joke. "

"So we must not let the world read our jokes. In addition to athletes, we must immediately call for coaches." Williams said decisively.

"This may be more difficult than selecting athletes." Frey pointed to the list on his hand, and then said: "The people who participated in the national team coach interview at that time are all on this list!"

"So the coaches are dirtier than the athletes! Have there been fewer scandals about sports coaches over the years? Using illegal drugs, charging bribes, and even sexually assaulting athletes ..." Williams sneered: "But we have nothing Way, we have to find a coach, a coach who is as clean as possible! "

...

Sebastian never imagined that Wharton would take the initiative to admit the use of stimulants, and also blamed himself.

Wharton's preemptive move was indeed very beautiful, and Sebastian was caught off guard, and the media also swarmed in the first place. Facing the media, Sebastian refused to admit it.

"It's defamation, it's rumors! I have never given Wharton any illegal drugs!"

"Wharton is lying, he is hurting me maliciously!"

"Why does he lie? That's because he wants to shirk responsibility! He wants to blame me all on him, and then he can escape punishment!"

"If it is really as Wharton said, then ask him to produce enough evidence to prove that the illegal drugs were provided by me."

"Wharton couldn't produce evidence at all, so he was just talking nonsense! I will hire a lawyer to hold him accountable!"

Sebastian's acting was really good. His stern expression and righteousness made many reporters on the scene feel that Sebastian was really wronged.

But at this moment, two middle-aged men in suits squeezed out of the crowd.

"Let me give up, please let me make up." The middle-aged man in a suit broke out from the reporter's encirclement and came to Sebastian.

"Are you Mr. Sebastian? I'm FBI agent Smith." One of them said while pulling out his ID.

"I am Sebastian, what do you want from me?" Sebastian suddenly had an ominous hunch ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Agent Smith had a poker face and said, "We When investigating the Franklin laboratory, I found a supply document, which shows that in the past five years, they have provided you with a total of 341 times and provided you with 73 kinds of steroid derivatization reagents, and these reagents are likely to be used as Doping, for athletes. So we would like to ask you to go back and assist in the investigation. "

"Oh ... oh ... oh ..."

The surrounding reporters immediately made a marvel, then all looked at Sebastian.

Just now Sebastian has been denying that he is related to the stimulant scandal. Many reporters present even believed in Sebastian ’s performance and believed that Sebastian was really innocent and framed by Wharton. of.

However, with the emergence of the FBI, and the revealed list of Franklin Laboratories has Sebastian's name, and the detailed number and types of illegal drugs provided by Franklin Laboratories, this is not a "real hammer".

The next second, Sebastian only felt angry, and then his legs fell to the ground, he knew that no matter how much excuses, it had become meaningless.
