Chapter 1138: Arrange for a Check-up Immediately
"What if the tests show Di Xiaxia didn’t take any stimulants? Won’t F Country lose a great deal of face?"
"And the President would have to personally apologize; that seems a little impossible."
Belinda pondered for a moment and then said, "Vice President, isn’t this asking too much? I was the one who competed, and I am the one questioning the results. I can represent my country and issue a statement in my name to the skating world."
"Heh..." Upon hearing Belinda’s words, Di Mingzhe laughed, his laugh was elegant yet very mocking, "Miss Belinda, what you’re doing is not only questioning Miss Di Xiaxia, but you’re also questioning Empire, do you understand? If you cannot meet this requirement, we will not accept the medical examination."
Because this was a matter of principle. My country is hosting this sports event, and now you are suspecting that our athlete used stimulants, which is disrespectful to our country.
Even if you were suspicious of athletes from other nations, that too would be disrespectful to our country and question our hosting capability.
Belinda furrowed her brows, "Not accepting a medical examination? Are you feeling guilty? Di Xiaxia has agreed to the test."
Belinda smiled, "Actually, Vice President, you seem nervous. My doubts are reasonable. Isn’t your country, hosting such a grand event, able to handle even this bit of suspicion? Doesn’t the Vice President’s defense seem a bit like trying to hide something more?"
Upon hearing this, Di Xiaxia spoke up first, "Vice President, I have no problems—test if you need to. I’ve done nothing wrong, so I fear no midnight knocks. I’m ready to face any doubts at any time."
As she spoke, Di Xiaxia glanced at Di Mingzhe, knowing that he was nervous about her being wronged.
However, she really wasn’t concerned, because she had not used any stimulants and had no reason to fear the test.
"Vice President, you needn’t worry," Di Xiaxia continued, "Why don’t we perform the test in public, graciously accept Miss Belinda’s doubts, and let the results shut her up? Wouldn’t it be better for her to just apologize to me?"
Finally, Di Mingzhe’s gaze hardened slightly; he wasn’t afraid of the test either, but he was annoyed by the unfounded questioning.
But as Di Xiaxia said, they were innocent and had nothing to fear from the test.
"Fine," Di Mingzhe eventually nodded and turned to the President of the National Games, "Arrange for the testing team immediately."
"Yes," the President of the National Games nodded in agreement.
And so, under everyone’s watchful eyes, blood was drawn for testing, with the process personally supervised by Belinda and her coach.
The check-up caused about a half-hour delay, and the public, sitting in the stadium, was abuzz with discussion.
However, the television broadcasts did not cover the event live but only reported on the incident briefly.
Seeing Di Xiaxia’s confident demeanor, she didn’t seem guilty at all, so the audience wasn’t worried.
Instead, they cursed Belinda, accusing her of being a sore loser and the like.
Of course, this was the private behavior and commentary of the people.
Finally, as everyone eagerly awaited, the test results were out, and there was more than just her coach on Belinda’s side looking at the results.
There was also the medical team that accompanied the sports team, all top members from the national sports medical team.
A group of people not only closely monitored the entire process but also studied the report in detail for quite a while afterward.
The captain of Belinda’s medical team kept looking at the medical report, his face turning from red to white with a very complicated expression.
Belinda had also looked at the report earlier, and she didn’t notice any problems.
