CHAPTER 808: CHAPTER 808: GUARANTEED TO WIN THE GOLD?

Besides Bianca White and Wendy Tierney, who both won the silver medal in the recent outdoor shooting competition, the drug test results for everyone else showed no issues.

When the drug test center announced this result, it caused quite a stir.

"Both used drugs and only managed to get a silver medal, such a disgrace. Look at July Quinn, without using anything, easily beating you all and securing the gold medal."

"This year’s rules state that once drugs are used, all competition results for the year will be nullified. Wendy’s silver medal in the indoor 10-meter event will be canceled, and Bianca’s bronze medal in the indoor 20-meter event will also be canceled. Truly not worth it!"

"While the situation with Bianca is uncertain, I reckon Wendy will never appear in international events again. After all, she joined The Aethelgard Vanguard Corps because she helped them win a shooting competition gold medal. Now, not only did she fail to secure the gold, but she also tarnished their team with this scandal. They’re sure to kick her out."

Obviously, Wendy knew that once the drug test turned problematic, she would be plunged into an irredeemable situation, so she repeatedly emphasized, "I did not use drugs, I can vouch for it with my honor."

Moreover, she insisted, "There must be a problem with this drug test. Someone must have bribed the drug test center personnel, swapping the samples."

Although Wendy did not directly identify who "someone" might be, her skeptical gaze was fixed on July Quinn as she spoke.

In other words, she was subtly guiding public opinion, aiming to cast suspicion on July Quinn.

"That’s impossible, our drug test department has always been fair, just, and transparent!" The drug test center head was forced to step forward.

But Wendy persisted, with support from The Aethelgard Vanguard Corps.

Indeed, whether Wendy had used drugs was irrelevant to them.

But if Wendy’s competition results were canceled, it would affect their interests.

Thus, under their loud protests, the drug test department could not withstand the pressure and had no choice but to restart the drug test.

To ensure fairness, transparency, and openness of this drug test result, besides inviting members from The Aethelgard Vanguard Corps, Thomas Grant, who coordinates The Keaton Family Vanguard Corps, was also invited.

Moreover, several leaders from other Vanguard Corps were selected to participate.

However, the results of the retest were the same as before—apart from Wendy Tierney and Bianca White, the drug tests of other participants were negative in this outdoor shooting competition.

Thus, the committee announced again, "All results and awards for Wendy Tierney and Bianca White this season are canceled; they are banned from participating in the International Vanguard All-round Championship for five years."

The cancellation of Bianca White and Wendy Tierney’s results had no impact on July Quinn.

Instead, Patrick Sullivan was affected, directly receiving a silver medal in the indoor 10-meter event, and also collecting a silver medal in the recent outdoor shooting competition, achieving a lot.

When Patrick Sullivan received his medal, Wendy Tierney was being informed by her coach and leader, "Your performance this season was truly disappointing, hence you’ve been expelled from our team."

"No, I haven’t violated any regulations, you can’t expel me like this."

She had already been expelled from The Keaton Family Vanguard Corps and couldn’t make a living domestically.

If word got out about her drug use in international competitions and she was expelled from The Aethelgard Vanguard Corps, no one would dare employ her in the future, so what could she rely on to live?

Thus, Wendy not only pleaded but also threatened The Aethelgard Vanguard Corps: "And it was you who instructed me to drug July Quinn initially, I have kept evidence..."
