NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 242: Surround Bosh to save James? Sacrifice Haslem

"What does this mean?"

After the result came out, Fang Xiaotong didn't dare to look at Jiang Ming's eyes.

Larry Miller and McGowan, who also came to the hotel conference room to wait for the result, threw the application documents for suspension that they had just written on the ground!!!

"FXXK!!! This means that drug use was detected, but it is not against the rules?"

"Isn't this nonsense? It has increased the physical value by so much, isn't it still an illegal drug?"

Jiang Ming snorted coldly:
"They openly covered up the case, and there was no word on the punishment."

"Yes, although he didn't say it, what it means is that LeBron James just used health products to enhance his physical fitness, so there will definitely be no follow-up punishment." McGowan said with a grim expression.

Jiang Muyan then showed the test report provided by the ZMA official website to prove that her own drugs did not violate any regulations.

Moreover, the medical representative directly deleted all contact information related to Jiang Ming, so Liyang and the others could not contact him.

Now this guy is taking a leave and shivering at home.

If he is found out by the company, he will be fired immediately.

Because he guessed in an instant last night that it might be because of him that James was exposed?
But he couldn't figure it out, so he went up and talked to Jiang Ming about it. How did Jiang Ming guess that LeBron James was using ZMA?
You have to know that he himself doesn't know that LeBron James is using it. He just knows that some NBA stars are using it. It's just a sales pitch.

So Jiang Ming is like a god in his mind. Forget it, forget it. It’s better not to have the market of Weiyang Pharmaceutical. He can’t have any contact with such a person. It’s too scary.

Now he can only pray that Jiang Ming doesn't reveal his name or anything, otherwise he will lose his job and may even be caught and investigated by the NBA and the Anti-Doping League, and may even be dragged out to be sacrificed.

Because if you really want to be picky, the Heat, the NBA, and ZMA can say that it was him who did it, and they fired him to calm things down.

But Jiang Ming would let it go like this:
"David and the Heat are taking advantage of a loophole. If they are no longer on the list, is it not illegal?"

"Then we'll use it too! Director Jiang, do you know what medicine he used when he asked me for the Haslem video last time? It must be this ZMA!" McGowan suggested from behind.

"Yes, since the league says that this drug has no side effects and is not on the banned drug list, can't our players just take it too?" an assistant behind him said.

"No, no, there's no need to hurt your teammates."

Sean waved his hands repeatedly, because he was the one who took ZMA to the clinic for testing tomorrow, and later sent it to a professional testing agency. He and Jiang Ming both knew that ZMA contains harmful substances and even carcinogens.

"Yes, we can do that but it's not necessary. The least we can do now is to stop them from using drugs in G6, right?"

Larry Miller also agreed with the team medical team's statement.

You can't just use it because the Heat are using it. You shouldn't do such a despicable thing.

But it is impossible to just watch the Heat continue to use it.

So when the Trail Blazers fans were going crazy online, Larry Miller called David Stern and asked him what he meant.

David Stern:
"Although this drug does have the effect of enhancing strength, it is definitely not a banned drug."

Larry Miller roared directly:
"Then why don't we all take it together? If it's not on the banned drug list, it's not an illegal drug??? Is that the case in the NBA now?"

David Stern remained silent. He did not expect that the Trail Blazers, who had little communication with the league and did not pay luxury tax, would be so tough this time.

Even the management and the owner are all on Jiang Ming's side. The Trail Blazers are going to completely break off relations with the Heat!
At this time, Jiang Ming also took the phone and said:
"Mr. David, I'm Jiang Ming."

"Hello, hello, your Chinese medicine is very effective. I don't have sore waist and neck anymore, I feel very comfortable."

When David Stern heard that it was Jiang Ming who answered the phone, his face darkened, but he still spoke respectfully.

"Are you trying to secure it?" Jiang Mingzhi asked.

"No, no, we have to go through the process, but this drug is definitely not on the banned drugs list."

"I just want to say that the doping and anti-doping organizations are like cat and mouse. Many times they are playing hide-and-seek games, but you may forget that they will come after you."

"Just because we can't find it now and say it's not on the banned drugs list doesn't mean it won't be banned in the future. When the time comes, it won't be the Anti-Doping Alliance that will be disgraced, but the NBA."

Jiang Ming's words made David Stern stand still.

This is so true. It suddenly woke him up, as he thought the matter was over.

Yes!

What if ZMA is included in the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of banned drugs?
If the Heat wins the championship, wouldn't people say that this year's championship has no gold content and was won by the league to protect the drug-taking warriors?
Think carefully!

Because David Stern called on the World Anti-Doping Agency this time, not just people from the league, so what if they add this drug later?

After all, the examination really showed that James' physical fitness has improved so much.

When he was annoyed, Jiang Ming fired a powerful shot:
"And to be honest, the results of our own testing for this illegal drug also show that there are banned substances. Otherwise, would I write this letter to you, sir?"

"This"

"Please be patient."

David Stern said a few more words and quickly hung up the phone to deal with it.

Obviously, Larry Miller's rage was useless to him, but Jiang Ming's few words scared him.

And now, public outrage has boiled over the results of the alliance's investigation.

Weiyang Pharmaceutical, for example, directly posted its official Weibo and Twitter account:
“No wonder bodybuilders around the world are training much better today than they used to.

And, there is no doubt that the scientific research and practical benefits of Zinc Magnesium Power will push it to a level previously only achievable with creatine.

We have also imported this drug and conducted experiments. Perhaps the results of the experiments will be more exciting to athletes.

Athletes who took zinc-magnesium for eight weeks saw their testosterone levels increase by 8%, while those on the placebo saw a 33% decrease.

In addition, the level of insulin-like growth factor (1GF-1) in the blood of patients taking zinc-magnesium increased by about 3%, compared with a decrease of 5% in the placebo group. The efficacy is self-evident.

After high-intensity training, the levels of hormones that promote anabolic metabolism will decrease to varying degrees, and taking ZMA can reverse this trend. The strength of the quadriceps has also improved significantly.

This shows that zinc-magnesium power also plays a significant role in improving muscle strength.

But we still rejected this type of drug because it contained banned substances in its test ingredients.”

Oden, who was well educated by Jiang Ming, also spoke on Twitter:

"If athletes really want to become stronger, they should train honestly and avoid taking shortcuts."

In fact, the samples that the clinic will send for testing tomorrow will be sent to Dr. House's Princeton University Hospital, because this hospital has an anti-doping laboratory.

This is much more professional than what will be available at Tomorrow's Clinic, so Jiang Ming asked his employees to send it for testing to see what ZMA is.

There are definitely a lot of Blazers fans in this hospital.

Because after the league announced the results of the review, the anti-doping laboratory of Princeton University Hospital said:
"We have analyzed the drug ZMA. Although it is not on the list of banned drugs, its ingredients are contained in drugs banned by the NBA."

The meaning of these words issued by this official inspection agency is self-evident.

That means LeBron James took drugs!

"You can question ZMA and the World Anti-Doping Agency, but no one should question Jiang Ming."

"Haha, yes, Dr. Jiang Ming would make mistakes? Are you kidding!"

"The league made this decision too casually." "Banned!"

"Supporting the suspension of James, even for one game, is an attitude. This shows that LeBron James relied on drugs to enhance his strength in the previous few games."

"Yeah, what the hell!"

"Where's Wade? Didn't he promise his brother?"

"No, is this a secret that cannot be told? Just admit it, and it's over if you're banned. Where is the credibility of this league?"

"Marijuana is legal in the United States, and Durant has smoked it."

"?"

"To be precise, American athletes all take drugs, and this really doesn't need to be singled out."

"Does the million-dollar annual cost of body maintenance include the cost of medicine?"

"It depends on what drug it is. Many recovery drugs are legal, like ZMA. I think I saw the former owner of the Trail Blazers also took it, because I saw him when I went to Portland for a social event."

"The Americans all like to use it. This is a tacit fact. It's just that Jiang Ming exposed them. Jiang Ming is finished."

"Yes, otherwise why are the muscles bigger than those in other countries?"

"Yeah, Yao has grown a lot stronger since entering the NBA."

"That's the result of sports science, not drugs."

"So, Jiang Mingzhan is definitely a black man!"

"He's now exposed as a LeBron hater, and he's a public figure, he's done for!"

"I, James, will never go to the clinic for treatment tomorrow."

"If I go to the clinic tomorrow to get my meningitis treated, I'm going to fuck the fan on 5th gear!"

Under the heavy pressure of public opinion, the Heat's Riley, Spoelstra, and Wade dared not say a word.

After all, the data has been confirmed, and the evidence from the Trail Blazers is too violent. In fact, from the very beginning they have to think that it was Jiang Ming's report. Without him, who would dare to be so sure?
You should know that doping tests are usually conducted when players are accidentally discovered by anti-doping organizations.

Moreover, since this organization is headquartered in the United States and has a majority of American employees, they generally do not investigate Americans, let alone leagues organized by the United States themselves. They tend to turn a blind eye and prefer to keep their affairs to themselves.

Only in international competitions are they more common.

This time someone reported it with their real name, so it must be that only a knowledgeable doctor would report it.

But what Jiang Ming and the Trail Blazers didn’t expect was that James’ team actually had another trick up their sleeve! ! ! ! !

While David Stern was still discussing how to give the fans and Jiang Ming a final answer, something unexpectedly happened on the Heat side.

But this matter was a bit deliberate, even intentional in Jiang Ming's opinion.

First, the golfer Tiger Woods, who is currently the subject of a lot of public opinion, said after his ban on doping was lifted that he and Bosh had the same supplier.

There is a stimulant called Epo. It was revealed once in a private urine test during his time with the Heat. The league banned it, and his condition was very bad in the next few games. It seemed that he could not run and jump as vigorously as before.

I don’t know whether it will be used again in the future. Thinking back, it is impossible for the alliance to be unaware of some of the behaviors, so it doesn’t matter whether it intervenes or not.

Surround Bosh to save James???

This kind of nonsense makes Jiang Ming feel disgusted. Tiger Woods really accepts any money!
And the most exciting thing is coming.

The "surprise" has arrived, that is, Haslem, who has been good at grabbing rebounds in these few games, is really taking drugs!
Originally, Jiang Ming and the others thought that the other players being checked after James were just making up the numbers, but they actually found something.

Because at this time the official website of the Anti-Doping League announced another piece of news, that is, they found that Haslem had taken a stimulant called erythropoietin (EPO) during this year's playoffs.

Although expensive, the drug is said to significantly improve endurance and athletic performance with minimal side effects.

Isn't this the same drug Tiger Woods was talking about?
Now we match.

It turns out it wasn't Bosh, but Haslem?

"I said it wasn't James!"

"Haslem really did it!"

"He also wants to win the FMVP? Hahahaha!"

“He and James use the same supplier?”

Now everyone subconsciously raised this question, but it was obviously not the case.

"That's a clever move."

Jiang Ming was frightened by this move. Was this a direct way of bringing disaster upon a teammate and pulling LeBron James out of the public opinion environment?
This agent team is so powerful.

And Haslem is so obedient?

I checked Haslem's agent and it was also Rich Paul.

No wonder!
Now the criticism is directed directly at Haslem, because his product is a real stimulant and there is a precedent.

This precedent is not the precedent that Tiger Woods is talking about.

Similar problems are common in other sports.

For example, Leonard Camvorro, a marathon runner once known as the "king of long-distance running", was banned due to EPO, and cyclist Lance Armstrong was stripped of multiple championship titles due to similar drug incidents.

These cases all remind people in the sports world that the importance and seriousness of drug testing cannot be ignored.

However, basketball is different from track and field and cycling because it requires a high level of comprehensive quality. A certain drug alone is not enough to fully explain a player's success.

This also provides an important angle for James to refute the rumors of doping.

But this time Haslem was really found out.

Bosh was also taken for a check-up, but LeBron James is now training at the American Airlines Arena as if nothing happened.

James refused all interviews, but his agent's Twitter was updated.

Rich Paul's gunman writing is a bit level:
"No matter how it all turns out, James' career remains one of the greatest in basketball history.

The discussion about doping has once again prompted thinking about whether athletes need stricter monitoring.

In the future, the NBA may need to further increase the frequency and coverage of drug testing to ensure the fairness of the game and the innocence of the players. "

David Stern breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to directly punish the Trail Blazers and everyone.

"Heat player Haslem was suspended for 5 games and fined $25000 for taking performance-enhancing drugs, and will be included in the list of key inspection targets for the NBA in the future."

"Heat player LeBron James is suspected of taking drugs that can help quickly improve his physical fitness. The detailed ingredients of the drugs are currently being investigated. Before the results of the investigation come out, the league has sent someone to monitor LeBron James' schedule and meals 24 hours a day. Friends who are concerned about this incident, please rest assured!"

This punishment is actually very severe for Haslem. As mentioned before, basketball is different from track and field and cycling because it requires higher comprehensive qualities. Relying on certain drugs alone is not enough to make a player superb.

Therefore, the penalties for violations are generally not severe, and Haslem's case was the maximum punishment.

But because James's drugs were not considered stimulants, he escaped with Haslem's protection?
Some media took photos of Haslem being taken away by several men in black with a resentful look on his face. In Jiang Ming's opinion, this was a sacrifice by the Heat or James' team!
ruthless!
When he gets ruthless, he will even deal with his own people!
