336 Drug testing turmoil

In the UK, there is an agency called UKSPORT, which is a British political ape set up to deal with doping tests in all sports, and he is outside of any sports body, not even the FA can decide what they do.

Football clubs, for example, are tested for doping three times a year, and the inspection body is this uksport agency, but in addition to that, they also conduct random spot checks on football clubs, and they do not have any prior warning.

The Red Rebels have always cooperated with doping tests, and there has never been a player who has not been able to pass this test, but no one expected that during the first random inspection, the Red Rebels would be in big trouble.

It was the second day after the players returned from the national team, and the team was nervously preparing for the upcoming league game, and at 11 noon on the same day, three staff members from the UKSPORT agency arrived at the Newton Heath training base, went directly into the training building, and randomly selected four players and asked them to go to a specific control room at 12:30 to take urine samples.

All four players are from the first team and are Ronaldo, Kaka, Essien and John Terry.

This was supposed to be an ordinary sampling inspection, but who knows, just after the team's training, when the staff came to the training ground and asked the four players who were selected to provide urine samples, they found John? John Terry wasn't even on the first-team training ground.

When the staff informed manager Mourinho of the incident, the latter was immediately surprised, because he did not know that he would come to take a urine sample, and he did not know that Terry had been selected by such a coincidence, and he had a cold before, so he was allowed to go home and rest early.

After several phone calls to Terry, but no one answered, Mourinho immediately asked the staff to go to Terry's home to look for him, and he also immediately rushed to the training building to deal with the three random inspectors.

According to the rules, if someone is late after the specified time, they will wait for a maximum of 2 hours, and if they do not show up during this time, they are deliberately evading the urine test and will be treated as a drug test, that is, the player has taken doping.

In the UK, doping is punishable by up to 2 years of global ban.

Mourinho did everything possible to stop the staff, explaining that when Terry left the team, he did not know that he was selected for a random drug test, otherwise, he would not have been allowed to leave.

But the drug test and sampling personnel were obviously not prepared to listen to such explanations, and left the Newton Heath training base as soon as the time came.

Twenty minutes later, Terry, who had just gone to the hospital for treatment, was taken to the training base by the staff, but when he called the random inspection personnel again, the other party said that the random inspection had ended and Terry would be treated as evading drug testing.

…………………… Xiao Yu, who had just returned from London, was in his office, and after listening to Mourinho and Terry tell the whole process, he had only one reaction, that is, unlucky, so fucking unlucky!

In Xiao Yu's previous life, this random drug test should have fallen on Ferdinand, and he was also unlucky to be banned, but who would have thought that now it fell on Terry's head, which is really a headache.

A global ban for up to 2 years, doesn't this force Terry to leave football?

Two years without an official game to play, is Terry still Terry?

"Boss, I can assure you that John really had a fever at the time, and he even had some bumps in his walking." Curtis said anxiously.

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, "Of course I believe John, but the trouble now is that people don't believe it, if we say this, what do you think everyone will say?" Especially the pervasive media! ”

"They will definitely say that Terry is deliberately evading the drug test, otherwise how can it be such a coincidence, random random testing, Terry will have a fever, and he will not be at the training base, and he will not be able to come back within two hours, which is really unreasonable!" David Beckham is most familiar with the style of the British media, analyzed.

"So, the most important thing now is to prove that Terry didn't deliberately evade the drug test." Xiao Yu immediately grasped the most important link.

As long as you don't deliberately evade the drug test, the penalty for missing the drug test is much lighter, and it may even be solved as long as the fine is imposed, and for Xiao Yu, the problem that money can solve is not a problem.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu immediately made a phone call to the new CEO of the FA, Parios, and first admitted the mistake made by his club, saying that it was a misunderstanding caused by coincidence, which caused the staff not to know that Terry had left the training base early, and arranged him to be included in the random inspection list.

In addition, Xiao Yu also made it clear that he was willing to cooperate with the FA's investigation, but Xiao Yu's attitude was very clear, Terry did not deliberately evade drug testing, but only because of a negligence on the part of the staff, which led to such an oolong incident.

The FA has a good impression of Xiao Yu, the Red Rebels team has always given the FA face, and won the League Cup last year, which gave the FA a lot of confidence, after all, this is the first time that a non-Premier League team has won in a European competition.

Recently, Xiao Yu's youth training plan has also given the FA enough face, for this young and promising super-rich man, the FA impression is still good, but this urine test spot check incident has a lot to do with it, especially recently FIFA is focusing on doping, Parios said that he will try his best to help the Red Rebels around, but the Red Rebels had better provide a series of evidence to prove Terry's innocence.

Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, saying that he would definitely submit this evidence as soon as possible.

…………………… After talking to Parios and the British Sports Secretary, Xiao Yu immediately summoned Professor Fryer and the heads of the departments.

First of all, Xiao Yu asked the laboratory to provide the video of Terry before and after he left the training ground, because the laboratory has always had the habit of shooting videos in the training ground, so Professor Fryer can easily give these materials.

In addition, the security department gave the time and surveillance video of the drug testing team's arrival at the Newton Heath training base, and coincidentally, the drug testing team just arrived on the front foot, and Terry's car on the back foot left the training base, and the difference between the two was less than 5 minutes.

Judging from this time period, it is unlikely that Terry will leave the training base after receiving the news, because at that time it was not known who would be drawn out for testing, and there were so many people in the team's first team and youth team, how could they definitely draw Terry?

In addition, Xiao Yu also immediately asked people to visit the hospital near Terry's house, and determined that Terry arrived here about 20 minutes after leaving the training base, and received cold treatment here, the hospital and the attending doctor can provide proof and testify in court, and the nurse in the hospital can prove that Terry died of sleep during treatment here, and even the mobile phone rang and did not wake him up.

Over the course of two days, the club collected all the evidence in favour of Terry's innocence, sent it to the FA and the relevant authorities, and held a press conference at the same time.

In the past two days, rumors have spread about international player John Terry's evasion of urine tests, and out of consideration for protecting Terry, Mourinho did not include him in the squad in the fifth round of the league away from Southampton, but announced that Terry had not recovered from his fever.

The Red Rebels were obviously also affected by the drug test scandal in this game, coupled with the impact of the national team game, the players were a little less excited, but Southampton, who showed very tenacity, took the lead at home and took advantage of a mistake by Nemanja Vidic, who came on as substitute John Terry, to score a goal.

At half-time, Jose Mourinho gave the absent-minded players a hard lesson, and the second half improved and Didier Drogba equalised in the 74th minute.

The score of 1:1 was maintained until the end of the game, and the Red Rebels got one point, but the standings did not change, and they are still in 8th place in the league.

After the game, the Red Rebels announced a series of evidence at a press conference in an attempt to prove Terry's innocence, while the FA also said it would accept the evidence provided by the Red Rebels and said it would hold a hearing in October.

…………………… Three days later, in the sixth round of the Premier League, the Red Rebels hosted Chelsea.

In the face of this Chelsea team that has undergone a sea change, the Red Rebels have paid enough attention, Mourinho played the main force in this game, and even Terry, who has been affected by the drug test scandal, has been supported by the club and continues to make his debut.

When Terry appeared on the pitch, the fans in the stands unfurled a series of banners in support of Terry.

The London defender has been a pillar of the team's defence over the years since joining the Red Rebels, and although he is not as flamboyant as his partner Curtis, everyone can see that his role in the team is very obvious and he is a vital member of the team.

Xiao Yu also talked to Terry before the game, asking him to play well, and the club will definitely do its best to help him solve the current trouble and get out of the predicament, Mourinho even said that before the penalty came out, Terry was still the team's first central defender.

Terry was impressed by the support of the team and the fans, and he showed a strong sense of responsibility and victory in this game**, and in the absence of Curtis, he and Giorgio Chiellini completely blocked the forward line of Crespo and Mutu.

Beckham's battle with Veron in midfield can reflect Beckham's improvement, especially in terms of the team's rhythm, he has improved significantly, instigating attack after attack, and he has also performed well in defence, giving a pass and a shot throughout the game to help the team beat Chelsea 3-0 at home, and also broke Chelsea's five-game unbeaten run this season.

After playing Chelsea, the Red Rebels went to Cyprus, and this time Mourinho rested many of the main players, allowing Ribery, McConn, De Rossi, Yaya? Toure and other players were given the opportunity to perform.

It was this group of substitutes who thrashed League Cup first-round opponents in Cyprus with a clean 6-0 thrashing of League Cup first-round opponents April, a victory that secured the Red Rebels a place in the second round of the League.

But immediately after this game, the Red Rebels welcomed away to Bolton in the Premier League.

Bolton's first six rounds were 2 losses and 4 draws, and even two of the losses were 4:0 losses, against the defending champion Manchester United and promoted Portsmouth, and now facing the promoted horse again, it is a home game, Bolton strives for a win!

Jose Mourinho's side had a tough time in the game, especially as the hearing approached and the hype surrounding Terry's drug test storm resurfaced, taking a toll on the team's morale.

However, Vidic, who started in place of John Terry, did well in this game, defending with Curtis in the middle, so that Bolton's attacks did not work, but the Red Rebels' attack was also frustrated, and the players have been in the national team in recent games, and it is the League Cup and the Premier League, and the fitness is a little out of pace.

At the crucial moment, captain David Beckham stepped up and scored two free-kicks to give the Red Rebels 0-2 and get a difficult three points from Bolton.

It is also with the recent two consecutive victories that the Red Rebels have entered the fifth place in the league, with Arsenal at the top, Chelsea and Liverpool at the bottom, and Manchester United in fourth, of which Manchester United and the Red Rebels both have a third round of supplementary matches.
