On the plane back to Los Angeles, Aylwin and Alexander were seated together .

"Justin, did you hear that the national team asked us to provide our blood samples?" asked Aylwin .

"Yes, I've been informed . " Alexander nodded . "I've heard that they are going to make personal biological information files for athletes, so they have to collect blood samples for that . "

"What the h.e.l.l is a 'personal biological information file'? I have been in the national team for several years, and I've been to the Olympics three times, but I've never heard of it," said Aylwin .

"I was confused too, so I called the staff who are taking charge of it and they told me that they made it with the aim to keep us safe . They seem to be worried about kidnappings or terrorists during the Olympics . " Alexander shrugged .

"We're just athletes, not politicians . Terrorists won't bother us!" Aylwin complained .

"That's not necessarily true . This Olympics is being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the security isn't good . So we Americans are just like walking wallets there . " When Alexander said this, he stopped and looked at Aylwin with a smile . "Especially you, you are the world's top sports star . If I were a terrorist, I would kidnap you!"

"If someone kidnaps me, I'll run . No one can surpa.s.s me within four hundred meters," Aylwin joked .

. . .

"I made an excuse to get the blood samples of Jimmy Aylwin, Justin Alexander, and Shawn Ford . And I've asked very reliable people to send the samples to you, so please be ready to receive them," Sebastian's voice came over the phone .

"I see . I'll ask someone to follow up," Franklin said .

Sebastian asked, "What should we do if we can't find anything in his blood sample?"

"If we can't find any problems in his blood sample, we can do something else . I'm waiting for the investigation's results," said Franklin .

"Is there any progress from the private investigation company?" Sebastian asked eagerly .

"Nothing . They even sent someone to pretend to be customers in Dai Li's training center, but they still found out nothing . " Franklin sighed and continued, "You're now the head coach of the national team, so can you use your authority to help us . "

"I see . There will be an a.s.sembly for training two days from now, and I will try to ask them some questions . Hopefully I can get some information . " When Sebastian said this, he heard a knock at the door .

"Someone has come to visit me, so I need to go . Please let me know if you have any news . " Sebastian hung up the phone eagerly .

The creation of personal biological information was an excuse, Sebastian just wanted to get the blood samples of Aylwin, Alexander, and Ford . As the head coach of the US team, Sebastian had the authority to do this .

In front of Franklin sat a man in his 60s with a long face and deep-set eye sockets . But the most obvious feature was his big aquiline nose, which resembled the nose of Penguin in a Batman movie .

When Sebastian talked with Franklin on the phone, it was obvious that he didn't know there was someone else in Franklin's room . If he had known, he would never have talked to Franklin, because they were talking about something that couldn't be overheard by others .

The only reason that Franklin let the man remain in the room was because the man was already an insider .

When Franklin put down the phone, and he immediately explained to the man, "That was a call from Sebastian . He has the blood sample, and it can be delivered today . "

"As soon as the blood sample arrives, we can test it at once . I hope we can find some clues," the man with the aquiline nose said .

"I'll try to . But I couldn't find any problems in their urine samples, so I'm worried that we might not be able to find any problems in their blood samples either," said Franklin .

"Don't worry, just go ahead and do your job . And please remind the research firm not to stop their work; it might be crucial for finding other clues . I still have plan B," the aquiline nose said .

"As you wish, Mr . Blecher," Franklin answered .

If Sebastian had been in the room, he would have been very surprised when he saw the aquiline nose . And then Sebastian would have chosen to leave at once and stay away from the aquiline nose, and he would have chosen to terminate his contract with Franklin's Laboratory .

The name "Blecher" was well-known to sports coaches and athletes, and they weren't allowed have any contact with him .

Blecher was a scientist and the owner of a pharmaceutical company . And his nickname was "the father of prohormone . "

Prohormone was a kind of synthetic metabolic hormone formed by enzymatic transformation in the body . Prohormone could increase the circ.u.mference and strength of muscle, reduce internal fat, and improve s.e.xual function . Once they entered the body, they would be transformed into steroid a.n.a.logues . For athletes, Prohormone was a kind of performance-enhancing drug .

Once they entered the body, they would be transformed into steroid a.n.a.logues . For athletes, Prohormone was a kind of performance-enhancing drug .

Since he could be called "the father of Prohormone," then there was no doubt that he was the most senior expert in this field; what's more, he was a world-famous expert with many research achievements under his belt .

As a scientist, there was nothing wrong with engaging himself in the research of prohormone, but what Blecher had done has beyond the limits of ethical science .

During the cold war, the United States and the Soviet Union competed in politics, economics, military, science, and other fields, including sports . In order to achieve better scores, Athletes in both countries began to take various drugs, which resulted in the rapid development of performance enhancers drugs .

The International Olympic Committee launched a campaign against doping in 1968, but it didn't work . Especially in the 1980s, when doping was rampant among athletes, there were many incredible world records, and thanks to doping, some of them weren't even broken for a couple decades .

Blecher was active in that era, and when he was a doctor, his research project was prohormone . He even had patents on it .

After getting his PhD, Blecher turned down a number of offers from many pharmaceutical companies . He sold his patent, found some sponsors, and set up a small laboratory to continue his prohormone research .

Blecher's research went well, and he made numerous research advancements and gained more sponsors . In addition, his small laboratory became a big laboratory . His research in prohormone was highly valued by large-scale pharmaceutical companies, so he was paid a lot of patent royalties . Then Blecher started his own pharmaceutical company in the mid-nineties .

Blecher's excellent performance and research achievements earned him the t.i.tle "the father of prohormone . "

He was very famous at that time . His had his own research achievements, he had great fame and his pharmaceutical company, and it was obvious that he was a successful scientist . In addition, he often donated money everywhere with the aim of packaging himself as a philanthropist .

But great changes took place in 1990, when the World Anti-Doping Agency Council was established in Lausanne . And at the same time, the International Olympic Committee announced that it would provide the World Anti-Doping Agency with the full cost of doping control in the next two of three years . In 1999, the International Olympic Committee gave $2,500 to the World Anti-Doping Agency for anti-doping .

In 1999, $2,500 meant you could do many things; for example, setting up a special committee to take responsibility for out-of-compet.i.tion drug tests, setting up a research group to research new types of drugs, and buying new equipment to upgrade the existing techniques of drug tests .

With the money given by the IOC, the World Anti-Doping Agency made several achievements . In 2000, many American athletes were found doping by the World Anti-Doping Agency, and some of them were former world champions and world record holders . It even alarmed the FBI .

Soon, the FBI found that the sudden deaths of some athletes in recent years had been related to the usage of performance-enhancing drugs . If athletes just used the drugs in compet.i.tion, then it was only a moral problem that violated the fairness of the compet.i.tion . But if there were many cases of deaths, then the situation was more serious than anyone had realized .

As the investigation of the FBI went further, Blecher became the focus of the FBI, and the truth began to surface . The FBI found that Blecher not only provided drugs to many athletes, but also provided them with drugs that had never gone through clinical trials . What's more, many kinds of drugs had shown obvious side effects in animal tests, but Blecher still provided them to athletes . This was also the cause of the sudden death of some athletes .

Apart from providing athletes with drugs, Blecher also collected athletes' body indicators as experimental data for his further research . It meant that he used the athletes as guinea pigs, which also equivalent to conducting human trials without any safety measures .

In recent years, Blecher's rapid progress in prohormone research had also benefited from his disregard of proper clinical trials . Other scientists conducted their research step by step, but Blecher ignored the safety of athletes and conducted his experiments on living athletes, which was definitely faster than normal research .

His behavior violated not only the law, but also the basic morality of human beings . It caused a great sensation in the US that year, and Blecher turned from a successful scientist into a person hated by everyone . He was suddenly facing legal punishment .

But the law is biased towards the rich in many cases, and a wealthy man such as Blecher could hire the best lawyers and find plenty of scapegoats . Most of the charges against Blecher ended up being untenable, and he was eventually sentenced to only six months in prison . But several coaches of the athletes who died were suddenly accused of manslaughter and forced to serve several years in prison .

After this, Blecher became a pariah in the eyes of coaches and athletes . His lack of morals allowed him to provide athletes with drugs that had not pa.s.sed animal experiments, and the drugs he provided to these athletes were fatal . Although all athletes were eager to improve their performance, their lives were more important than performance .

Blecher was blacklisted by sports coaches and athletes, and even Sebastian, who provided drugs to athletes, would never be willing to contact Blecher or talk with him . Blecher's reputation was so terrible, if a coach had contact with him, then the coach would instantly become the target of the World Anti-Doping Agency, and his athletes, fearing for their health and lives, would choose to be far away .

But Franklin's Laboratory, which he had worked with for several years, was actually being sponsored by Blecher . If Sebastian had known that Franklin's Laboratory had always been sponsored by Blecher, he would never have dared to use any of the products of Franklin's Laboratory .
