All-round Athlete

Chapter 877: Sources

On the street, nearly 200 athletes held slogans and walked along the road, looking particularly conspicuous.

Among them, only one-third were cyclists, and the other two-thirds were contestants from other events who came over to express their support.

Many so-called "supporters" came to join in the fun. There will never be a shortage of people in this world who watch the excitement and don’t think it’s a big deal. Athletes are a group of guys with too much energy, especially those from Latin America and Africa. It’s definitely a pain to stay in the Olympic Village every day. When there was excitement, he joined in without hesitation.

So this protest march, which was originally only a few dozen people, turned into a scale of 200 people, and the number is still increasing.

During the Olympic Games, more than 200 contestants protested and marched. This was big news, and media reporters from all over the world were moved by the news. The Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, Itar News Agency, Kyodo News Agency, etc., all sent people to the scene to report and interview, especially the reporters from Agence France-Presse, who were the most active. Because in the cycling team competition, the French team was the victim of British diving, and all French people of course hoped to use this to put pressure on the IOC to award this cycling gold medal to France.

Zhang Guan walked in the middle of the team with a gloating expression, and beside Zhang Guan, reporters were surrounding the French cyclist De Almeida.

"The British team used such despicable means to win the championship, which has violated the Olympic spirit! Our French team immediately filed an appeal after the game..." De Almeida faced the camera with a look of righteous indignation.

"Is it useful to appeal?" Zhang Guan curled his lips in disdain, but the next second, he suddenly remembered another thing.

In the women's track cycling competition, the Chinese team was convicted of a foul and lost the gold medal. At that time, the Chinese team also chose to appeal. Of course, the appeal failed in the end. The reason for the failure of the appeal was not that the Olympic Organizing Committee rejected the appeal after the investigation and hearing, but that the London Olympic Organizing Committee issued a communiqué, requiring that no team should appeal against the decision of the referee in the cycling competition. This communiqué directly interrupted the appeal process of the Chinese team.

"On the bicycle appeal, the London Olympic Organizing Committee obviously used administrative means directly instead of going through the normal investigation and hearing process. I don't know if the current London Olympic Organizing Committee will do this! No way! , I have to add more fire!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Guan stopped in his tracks, and then said to De Almeida, who was surrounded by reporters, "I heard that appealing is useless!"

"Who is talking sarcastic here?" De Almeida and the reporters turned their heads and saw Zhang Guan on the periphery.

"It's Zhang Guan!" The reporters instantly found a new target.

In terms of fame, Zhang Guan is much older than De Almeida. Now that Zhang Guan appeared, he immediately pointed the camera at him.

"Zhang Guan, what do you mean appealing is useless?" a reporter asked.

"Don't you know? There are already many people spreading a gossip." Zhang Guan deliberately pretended to be surprised, and then said: "The London Olympic Organizing Committee has prepared to issue a communiqué. The organizing committee will not accept the appeal!"

"What?" De Almeida was shocked, and asked eagerly, "Why did the London Olympic Organizing Committee do this?"

"Why did you do this? Can't you guess it? Probably to cover up the truth!" Zhang Guan smiled slightly, but left the reporters with infinite reverie.

...

"Chairman Sebastian, you are too careless in what you do! Bribing the referee and the organizing committee is nothing more than doing it secretly, and it has been known by others, and it has even made it to the top of dozens of European rankings." What the hell is your Olympic Organizing Committee doing! Do you know what a huge crisis this is for us in the UK. Now it is the Olympic Games, and the whole world is staring at us, but you have made such a mess for me A big scandal, now the whole world is watching our joke, how do you want me to explain to Buckingham Palace, how do you want me to explain to the people!"

The Prime Minister's angry voice came on the phone, but Sebastian couldn't explain it.

"Mr. Prime Minister, it's not like that, we haven't done it! That bribery of the referee and the organizing committee is absolutely non-existent, it's fake! Someone is deliberately discrediting us! Besides, it's just a flopping tactic, if If you need the cooperation of the referee, it is enough to send a sentence! Also, the organizing committee is our own, so there is no need to bribe at all! There is no reason to bribe yourself when you do things for yourself!" Sebastian explained.

What Sebastian said was the truth. Britain is the host of the Olympic Games, and the London Olympic Organizing Committee is the leader here. The cycling event organizing committee is basically all British. Therefore, there is no need for the British team to spend money to bribe the referee and the organizing committee.

The prime minister thought about it carefully, and understood that what Sebastian said was reasonable, and the London Olympic Organizing Committee was blamed this time.

The anger in the prime minister's heart calmed down a bit, but he still snorted coldly, and then said: "Chairman Sebastian, I don't care what method you use, calm this matter down as soon as possible, I don't want to see This negative influence continues to ferment!"

After finishing the phone call with the Prime Minister, Sebastian looked displeased. However, as the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, Sebastian still has to deal with this kind of scandal himself.

The French team has lodged an appeal and they are demanding that the gold medal be awarded to the French team. For Sebastian, this is absolutely not an option. If the gold medal is really awarded to the French team, it means that the London Olympic Organizing Committee has admitted its mistakes, and even the bribery will be confirmed.

"This gold medal belongs to the United Kingdom, and this cannot be changed! The gold medal must be confirmed as soon as possible, and the legitimacy of the gold medal must be confirmed. As long as the gold medal is legal, the way to obtain the gold medal is naturally also legal. of!"

Sebastian thought of this, and typed such a title on the computer: "Decision of the Cycling Committee of the London Olympic Organizing Committee".

...

Not long after, Sebastian finished the draft of this communiqué, and he began to review it.

"First of all, during the game, no one in the team is allowed to stand on the referee's platform; second, all inquiries about the results must be made after the game; third, no appeals are accepted for the final penalty of the referee team; fourth, no one in the team Members are prohibited from standing on the starting platform, aisles, ramps and fences."

Sebastian nodded quite satisfied. Among these four rules, the most important ones are actually the second and third rules. These two rules directly prevented the participating teams from challenging the referee's authority, and at the same time directly put the French team The road to appeal was blocked. The French team cannot appeal, so the gold medal naturally belongs to the British team.

Suddenly there was a loud noise coming from outside the window, and it became louder and louder.

"What's wrong? Why is it so noisy outside!" Sebastian wanted to get up to see what was happening outside the window, but his secretary walked in.

"Mr. Chairman, there are people protesting and marching outside. And the relevant news has already started to be broadcast on TV!" The secretary told Sebastian about the cyclist's protest.

"Damn guy, what a mess!" Sebastian cursed secretly, but turned on the TV anyway.

In the TV, a young and beautiful female reporter is holding a microphone and facing the camera.

I only heard the beautiful female reporter say: "A source said that in order to cover up the truth of the matter, the London Olympic Organizing Committee has prepared to issue a new communiqué. Complaints will not be accepted.”

"What!" Sebastian's face turned pale in an instant.

"How is it possible? How could the reporter know? Some sources said, where did the source come from? I just finished writing the draft here, and this source already knows? This well-informed person is a bit too much! This is Well-informed or prophetic! There won’t be a camera in my room. Covering up the truth? What kind of truth am I covering up!” Sebastian couldn’t help complaining in his heart.

At this moment, Sebastian knew even more that the matter had already made the news, and the communiqué he had just written could never be sent out. Otherwise, it really becomes a "cover-up of the truth".
