2004年,离雅典奥运会开幕还有三周,美国奥组委严厉谴责美国田径协会(U.S. track
federation1)高层忽视了药检问题的严重性。据悉,美国田协于7月19日公布了参加雅典奥运会的运动员名单,两名此前药检呈阳性的选手仍然名列其中。
外电有这样的报道:
As the scandal from the U.S.
investigation2 of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative continues to shake track and field, Jim Scherr, the chief executive of the USOC (United States Olympic Committee), said he was disturbed that the drug-related issues had dominated pre-Games attention and taken it away from athletes who rarely find the
spotlight3.
田径是奥运会的第一大项,也是美国奥运代表团的夺金大项,track and field的意思就是“田径,田径赛”,相关的词汇还有ground track field(田径运动场);thinclad(田径运动员)等。
