Chapter 44: Just as the Chaos is Settling Down, You Koreans Come to Join the Fun Again?

Meanwhile, at the police station in America, Phelps and several attractive women who had been arrested on the spot were being questioned.

“Hey, officer, where did you get the report claiming I was using drugs?” Phelps asked.

The officers did not even look up. “That is not your concern, Mr. Phelps. If your tests come back clean, we will release you.”

Seeing that, Phelps had no choice but to keep quiet.

At that moment, the television in the police station was broadcasting the Olympic Games.

When Phelps saw Wang Xiaoming standing victorious on the screen, he could not describe the bitterness in his heart.

But when he saw Wang Xiaoming being condemned by everyone and accused of drug use, joy instantly filled his entire being.

“Hahaha, look at that yellow-skinned kid! Look at how ferocious he is!”

“Who would believe he wasn’t using drugs?”

Not only had Wang Xiaoming won the gold medal, he had also broken the record.

That was more than Phelps could stomach.

Deep down, he prayed that evidence of Wang Xiaoming’s drug use would be found as soon as possible.

That way, Wang Xiaoming could be banned for life, and no one would ever threaten Phelps’s position in the swimming world again!

Just then, a young police officer approached from nearby and handed a test report to the officer questioning Phelps.

“Stop worrying about whether other people are using drugs and start worrying about yourself!”

When he saw the report in the officer’s hand, Phelps felt a moment of nervousness.

Then he said dismissively, “Hah. Officer, I guarantee you won’t find anything!”

“I have never done anything illegal!”

The officer gave him a cold look. “Wait until I finish reading your urine test report.”

The young officer beside him spoke up at once. “Officer, his urine test did not detect any trace of drugs this time.”

“However, we did detect some residual stimulants.”

Hearing that, Phelps immediately began explaining. “Hey, officer, don’t make wild accusations!”

“I took that medicine for my asthma. It contains certain stimulant ingredients, but you can’t say that means I was taking stimulants!”

The officer waved his hand. “Don’t be nervous. Even if they are stimulants, that does not make them drugs. You will be fine.”

Generally speaking, mild stimulants were not enough to result in criminal charges.

After all, in America, stimulants were not the same as illegal drugs!

Hearing the officer’s words, Phelps burst out laughing. “Then, officer, can I leave now?”

“Leave? No, no, that won’t do!”

“Why not? Haven’t you already confirmed that I didn’t take any banned substances?” Phelps grew anxious.

The officer smiled and raised another test report.

“That is true, Mr. Phelps. Your urine test was fairly normal, and we did not find anything suspicious.”

“But unfortunately, we also conducted a hair-follicle test.”

“The results show that you used drugs sometime within the past month.”

“So, in accordance with the law, we are placing you under arrest!”

In an instant, Phelps felt as though the sky had collapsed.

How was that possible?

Why had they conducted a hair test as well?

He had used drugs a month ago.

Could even that be detected?

As Phelps slumped limply in the chair, the police began recording his statement.

“Now, Mr. Phelps, were there any other people in your house besides you and those women?”

“No.” Phelps’s eyes were hollow. “There were only me and the six women.”

“Six?” The officer froze. “But we only caught five.”

“I—I don’t know either. I called three over first, then called three more.”

At the Olympic venue, several members of China’s Olympic delegation came over to Wang Xiaoming and the others.

After giving them a reassuring look, they turned toward the representatives of the opposing delegations.

“Sorry, but you have no right to conduct a urine test on our country’s athletes here,” a member of the Chinese delegation said sternly.

“I know we do not. But we must give the people of the world an explanation!”

“An explanation? What explanation? What evidence do you have that our athlete used drugs?”

“We do not have evidence for the moment. But does that race just now require any further explanation? Did Wang Xiaoming really look like a normal person in that condition?”

In an instant, the two sides erupted into a heated argument.

Wang Xiaoming watched them quarrel with his arms folded, looking thoroughly entertained.

Pan Zhanle, however, was frantic. “Brother Ming, aren’t you worried at all?”

“Worried? What do I have to worry about? Just watch carefully in a moment.”

Wang Xiaoming had already made up his mind.

The argument between the two sides had reached its critical point.

“As we have said, we can produce Wang Xiaoming’s test report from before the race right now. Do you people dare to do the same?” the Chinese delegation member demanded angrily.

“Why wouldn’t we dare?” Unexpectedly, the representatives from Europe, America, and Australia had suddenly adopted an unusually aggressive attitude.

“Fine!”

With that, the Chinese delegation produced Wang Xiaoming’s test report.

The cameras immediately zoomed in for a close-up.

Under the cameras, every detail of Wang Xiaoming’s report was clearly visible.

All his indicators were perfectly normal!

The representatives from Europe, America, and Australia were completely dumbfounded.

“How is that possible? Everything is normal!”

“C-Could there be some kind of mistake?”

“Then how do you explain Wang Xiaoming’s almost godlike performance?”

“Could it be that he really mastered some secret technique?”

The representatives from Europe, America, and Australia looked rather unpleasant as they stared at the report produced by the Chinese delegation.

“Now it’s your turn! Don’t tell us you can’t produce yours!”

“How could we not? See for yourselves!”

With that, the test reports of the athletes from Europe, America, and Australia were also placed before the cameras.

They too showed no abnormalities whatsoever!

This time, it was Wang Xiaoming’s turn to be surprised.

Just moments ago, the athletes from those countries had looked as though they had turned purple.

He could guarantee that something was wrong.

Yet the pre-race tests had failed to detect anything.

Could the organizing committee have colluded with them to falsify the results?

Impossible. The committee’s credibility in this regard was still quite strong.

In that case, did they only take the drugs after entering the venue?

“All right, then. Is there still a problem? Do you need us to conduct another urine test right here?” a member of the Chinese delegation asked.

The representatives from Europe, America, and Australia looked grim. Clearly, they could not believe that Wang Xiaoming was truly in the clear.

“If there’s no problem, then let’s forget about it.”

With countless cameras surrounding them, they knew they would never be able to pin the accusation on Wang Xiaoming this time.

Since that was the case, they could only end this farce as quickly as possible.

However, an athlete from South Korea decided to stir things up.

“Wait! His pre-race test may have been clean, but what if he took drugs after the competition began?”

“We, South Korea, strongly demand another urine test on the spot!”

At that moment, not only the Chinese representatives, but also every representative, athlete, and coach from Europe, America, and Australia turned to stare in the direction of the South Korean athlete.

Their eyes were filled with shock and faint anger.

It was almost as if they were saying:

Were these Koreans out of their minds?
