On the surface, he is a nine-gold superman, but to be honest, there is no comparison between him and Usain Bolt.
Before 2020, Bolt also had 9 gold medals. Bolt was so clean that his pores were white, but he.
As a famous American athlete, Lewis was once known as the "anti-doping fighter", but the reality is so magical. Lewis himself, the "anti-doping fighter", is not so innocent.
Lewis achieved his "clean" image at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. At that time, after Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson ran a "new record" of 9.79 seconds for the 100 meters, his result was canceled because he was found to have taken doping steroids.
The gold medal fell to the second-place finisher with a time of 9.92 seconds. This second-place finisher was, yes, our "anti-doping fighter" Carl Lewis.
In the eyes of the public, because of Johnson's incident, he has become the cleanest athlete on the field.
Since then, Lewis has participated in four consecutive Olympic Games and won 9 Olympic gold medals. He has become a legend in the world of sports and was even considered the greatest Olympian for a time. Former International Olympic Committee President Samaranch once praised: "He not only
Ranked No. 1 in world athletics and often helping us in our fight against doping."
Since then, Carl Lewis has actively participated in the "anti-doping" propaganda campaign, has been calling for stricter drug testing systems, and claimed that the track and field has reached an "unprecedented level of filth."
But by 2003, this "legend" came to an end.
Remember this time, on April 18, 2003, a black doctor named Wade Exxon exposed a blockbuster document, which revealed in detail that the U.S. Olympic Committee was shielding and condoning the use of banned drugs by domestic athletes.
Performance-enhancing behaviors.
Who is Vader Exxon? Someone may want to ask this question.
After opening Exxon's file, it can be seen that he has long served as the director of the Drug Management Committee of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Then this matter is very interesting.
Wade Exon found that from 1988 to 2000, there were more than 100 cases of American athletes taking drugs, but they were not punished. Documents show that Lewis tested positive three times before the 1988 Olympics. But Lewis
He argued that he had taken the medication without knowing it. In the end, the U.S. Olympic Committee allowed him to travel to Seoul to compete.
Yes.
Is it a very familiar script?
Another person claimed that "he took the medicine without knowing it."
Three consecutive drug tests showed that there was obviously something wrong.
And if we really want to say it, it is basically 99% true that athletes taking banned drugs are not innocent.
To increase credibility, Exxon even produced a letter written by the former U.S. Olympic Committee Secretary-General to Lewis and others, which stated: “Doping will improve athletic performance and give you an advantage in competition.
"
This means that the United States itself is also aware of the situation and is not completely unaware of it.
What's funny is that the most exciting one was Ben Johnson, who was deprived of the gold medal after Lewis successfully appealed. Johnson immediately issued a statement after learning about the situation, demanding that Lewis return the gold medal he won in the 1988 Olympics to the International Olympics, otherwise he would
Take all the American athletes participating at that time to court.
Johnson's lawyer said that the U.S. Olympic Committee had known about the situation of these American athletes for a long time, but it had shielded and condoned them. U.S. Olympic Committee officials should be punished by law.
Johnson's anger is completely understandable. If you think about it this way, there is something wrong with my medication, and I admit it.
But...why do you still get gold medals and become 9 gold kings even if you use it?
That would naturally be unbalanced.
Lewis did not admit this at first. As for Johnson's request, Lewis thought it was very ridiculous.
However, neither the U.S. Olympic Committee nor Lewis himself could provide strong evidence to prove that this report was problematic. Soon, the U.S. Olympic Committee also handed over the drug testing work to an independent agency. In the end, in all walks of life,
Under pressure, Lewis publicly stated his position and admitted that the report was true. In other words, he took doping at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, and the U.S. Olympic Committee knew about it but concealed it.
Thinking about it now, no wonder Lewis was so sure that Ben Johnson had taken drugs after the Olympic finals.
why?
Typical Australian swimming team approach.
I even used it, and I still can’t beat you!
Then you are useless, you are a ghost!
I do not believe!
And Lewis's answer was also funny. When faced with Johnson's question, he replied:
"Is he really planning to take hundreds of people to court?!"
"I really don't understand why people are arguing about things that happened more than ten years ago. Which athlete has never cheated? It's just different degrees. What's there to say?!"
The whole world is bewildered.
Didn’t Nima say you were the cleanest before?
Don't you mean to tell the world that sprinters should not use drugs and that it would be shameful to do so?
How come this answer came to you? It became "Which athlete has never cheated"???
Think about it again, with the gold medal behind him and the fact that he persuaded others not to take medicine, doesn't it mean that he is the only one who takes it? Doesn't that make him invincible?
The earliest stimulants should be the "Little Eagle Countrymen" who launched the Opium War.
In the 19th century, ultra-long endurance running has been popular in Kitty Hawk Country. In 1807, endurance running participant Abraham Wood openly declared that only by using laudanum could everyone stay awake and run continuously for 24 hours.
In 1878, do you know what the winning time was in the British Endurance Race? It was 520 miles (equivalent to 837 kilometers)! The winner ran for 138 consecutive hours!
Think about it with your brain, is it possible?

In the marathon race of the third Olympic Games, British-American Thomas Hicks was followed by a coach, Charles Lucas, who was holding a syringe. Whenever Hicks couldn't run, Lu
Cass would give him an injection of "strrye" at the appropriate time, plus a glass of whiskey. "Strychnine" is also called strychnine, which is a central nervous system stimulant.
It's not just track and field competitions. In 1930, the participation manual for the famous Tour de France clearly stated that the organizer was not responsible for the "drug" expenses of each team - meaning that the drugs were legal, but you just had to pay for them at your own expense.
If this trend continues, the modern Olympic Games for mankind may actually evolve into a "Doping Results Expo" held every four years. However, things have changed, and the reason is... a human life has been lost.
In the 1960 Rome Olympics, Danish cyclist Jensen died suddenly during the competition. An autopsy proved that he had taken amphetamine, alcohol and another drug that dilates blood vessels. Seven years later, former Olympic bronze medalist and cyclist Simpson competed in the Tour de France
He died suddenly during the race, with uneaten amphetamine in his pocket when he died. People suddenly recalled that Hicks, the marathon champion who took injections while running, never participated in a major competition again after the Olympics...
With the increasing number of doping scandals, humans have become aware of the dangers of doping.
At the 1968 Mexico Olympics, the first anti-doping testing in human history occurred.
Yes, it was not until here, in 1968, that doping testing began.
At that Mexico Olympics, Swedish modern pentathlete Lijen Wall became the first person in Olympic history to be banned for doping.
The types of stimulants can generally be divided into the following categories:
The first category can be summarized as "not tired", which are actually central nervous system stimulants, such as caffeine, cocaine, and ephedrine. The laudanum taken for endurance running mentioned earlier also belongs to this category. This type of excitement
Agents are the first to be detected and the most backward.
The second type can be summarized as "special strength", which is steroids. The more famous one is testosterone. After taking this kind of muscle strength will increase significantly, the bones will become thicker, and the female characteristics will gradually disappear. In China, it is commonly known as "Dianabol". Everyone
You can recall that the "Ma Jiajun" who claimed to have been taking "Chinese Turtle Essence" back then was a typical example in China.
Note that steroid drugs were difficult to detect before the 2000 Sydney Olympics because of the level of technology.
The third category is more advanced, called "epo". It is an erythropoietin that was originally used to treat anemia. After athletes take it, their oxygen supply capacity is enhanced, and their endurance and other abilities are improved. This type of stimulant has historically been
It cannot be detected at all for quite a long time.
The fourth category is miscellaneous. For example, in the 2008 BJ Olympics, North Korean male shooter Kim Jong-soo won the bronze medal in the men's 10-meter air pistol and the silver medal in the 50-meter pistol, but was deprived of the medal after the game because he was found to be taking
The word "stimulant" - in a strict sense, is actually the antonym of "stimulant": a tranquilizer called "propranolol".
The fifth category is the latest high technology, that is, "future stimulants", which are stimulants that cannot be detected by current means.
Although it cannot be detected through examination now, it must already be there because the development of drugs is always faster than examination.
As for the future, there may be more.
After all, there are currently as many as four or five categories.
Not only in the track and field world, in the 1954 Men's Football World Cup final, the Hungarian team, which was called the "Dream Team" at the time, scored two goals against the West German team in the first 8 minutes of the first half. However, they fell behind 0-2 in the first half.
The West German team looked like two different teams in the second half, and finally defeated the Hungarian team 3-2 and won the world championship. This game was called the "Miracle of Bern".
However, in 2004, the German media revealed that during halftime of the 1954 World Cup final, every member of the West German team was injected with a central nervous system stimulant drug to increase physical strength and explosive power. What is even more touching is that,
In 2008, the Science Bureau of the German Ministry of the Interior and the German Olympic Committee commissioned Berlin's Humboldt University to investigate the history of doping in Germany. The results showed that in order to pursue performance, the former Federal Republic of Germany systematically organized athletes to take various doping for more than 30 years.
"The scientific and technological strength of a country determines the performance of its athletes in the Olympics."
The positive energy of the Olympic Games always seems to have some other meaning now.
Before the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, steroid expert Bob Goldman, chairman of the Canadian Anti-Drug Abuse Organization, once asked this question:
"If I had a magic drug, it would make you invincible in all competitions, including the Olympics, within five years. But please be careful! If you take this drug, you will die in five years.
, are you willing to eat?"
He threw this question to 198 outstanding athletes from all over the world, and what was the result?
Guess it.
turn out……
103 athletes responded: I am willing to eat it!
What is found is doping, what is not found is high technology. This is the dark history hidden behind the Olympic Games.
And what’s the most outrageous thing?
It's Carl Lewis. This great athlete, 9 gold kings, he actually...
vegetarian!
At that time, many people said that he was a superman, but now medicine has told us that without supplementing various vitamins and supplements, especially in the 1980s and 1990s, according to the current scientific sports medicine, anyone can
It is unimaginable that an athlete can become an outstanding athlete without eating meat. But Carl Lewis did not need to rely on meat and successfully accomplished everything that ordinary people cannot imagine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The New York Times reported that in the 1980s and 1990s, doping in Olympic events was also very common in the United States: drug test results were missing.
Athletes who have taken doping have won gold and silver medals in track and field and swimming events, but leaders of the U.S. Olympic Organizing Committee, corporate sponsors and some media have turned a blind eye or turned a deaf ear to the doping issue.
And they also use their superpower capabilities to have crazy double standards.
Did you know that in the so-called major sports country, 653 athletes were allowed to "legally use doping" because of illness in 2015?
The United States' largest sports magazine "Sports Illustrated" revealed in detail the fact that the American sports industry covered up the truth about American athletes taking doping. Between 1988 and 2000, there were more than 100 cases of American athletes taking drugs, but only a few
Several athletes were banned.
Some people may say that "allowing legal use" is something within the rules. You are so good, but look at how many people in our country are qualified?
Guess it.
In 2015, there were 653 athletes on the list in the United States. As for us flower growers, the answer is - in 2015, not a single athlete from the flower growers was approved for "legal use of doping."
Yes.
There is none.
If you are still blind with 653 times the data, there is nothing you can do.
No one can wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
At this time, you can look back at Lewis's interview with the Times: "I'm afraid there is a problem with Bolt's results. Because the level of doping testing in Jamaica is very problematic. As for us, I must say that as an American, I
I am very proud because we have the most advanced drug testing system and the most severe punishment rules."
Su Shen just wanted to say:???
The ability to tell lies with open eyes is already in the Mahayana stage, right?
Have you forgotten that you are a doping user yourself?
Perhaps, his thoughts back then have come back again.
I feel that even if I use it, it won’t work. If you are faster than me, you will definitely not be able to clean it.
pity.
This time he fought against a few people.
It really is.
Extremely clean.
This is embarrassing.
"How to do it? Xiao Tian?" Zhao Haohuan asked.
"What are you waiting for?" Su Shen smiled calmly and said calmly, "Let's hold a press conference."
"As an innocent person, how can I be pointed in the face by someone who is not innocent?"
Su Shen put on his clothes, picked up his cell phone, answered the call, and said, "I understand, Director Yuan, let's hold a press conference."
"The history of us being bullied at will is a thing of the past."
"Whoever slanders us in the future will have to pay the price."
ps: This is the dark side of the Olympic Games. I hope everyone can understand and understand how speechless the so-called great American athletes are. Maybe they use too much, and they feel that it is impossible to run fast without medication. As a result, this time
What he encountered was not Johnson, but Bolt. The thief shouted, "Catch the thief." This wave of Lao Mi's performance has reached its peak.
