Belinda curled her lips, equally determined not to back down, "Fine. If that’s the case, I demand that the Empire Sports Federation announce this imdiately and that Miss Xiaxia accept testing right on the field. Do you dare?"
"There’s nothing shady about my actions, why wouldn’t I dare?" Xiaxia smiled unshakably.
"Good." Belinda nodded openly, then turned to the administrators of the Empire Sports Federation. "Please make the announcent."
The chairman of the Empire Sports Federation’s eyes tightened, glaring angrily at Belinda, but ultimately, he had to agree, "Our athletes are aboveboard. If the inspection finds nothing, Miss Belinda must publicly apologize to Miss Xiaxia and the entire Empire on the field."
"Since it was I who questioned it, obviously, I will apologize if I’m wrong," Belinda curled her lips, "But if it turns out that Miss Xiaxia has taken stimulants or any other substances that could induce excitent, I demand her championship be revoked and that she be banned for life."
The chairman of the Empire Sports Federation looked at Xiaxia, who nodded fearlessly.
He turned and murmured so instructions to soone beside him, who then walked away.
Watching Xiaxia’s fearless deanor, Belinda frowned. Could she have been wrong?
But she could tell during the competition; Xiaxia was noticeably more relaxed, almost unnervingly so.
Besides stimulants, she couldn’t think of anything that could cause such a state.
However, Belinda wasn’t afraid; as a competitor representing her country, she naturally had the right to question the results and processes of the competition and express her doubts.
Even if she was mistaken, such an apology would not be a great harm; moreover, she was actimg in her national interest. It wasn’t possible for her to have suspicions and not express them.
This was also sothing she had discussed with her coach, so public apologies held no fear for her.
Yet, everyone present was sowhat puzzled. Wasn’t it ti for the award ceremony?
Why were they all standing there, talking instead of holding the ceremony?
Suddenly, a bad feeling arose in people’s hearts, and Mingzhe also furrowed his brows deeply, quickly walking towards the field.
At that mont, the announcer’s voice sounded in the arena, carrying a hint of anger, "There has been a disagreent about our competition results. Miss Belinda from F Country suspects that our champion, Miss Xiaxia, has used banned stimulants and has requested a dical examination for Miss Xiaxia.
Miss Xiaxia has agreed, so the final decision will be announced later."
As soon as the announcer finished speaking, the entire stadium erupted.
"How can they suspect her like this? It’s insulting."
"Yes, exactly. Stimulants are banned; who would be so shaless?"
"Is Belinda implying that all of us from the Empire are sneaky and cheat in competitions by using stimulants?"
"I think she’s just upset she didn’t win the championship. It’s disgusting!"
Amid these comnts, Belinda didn’t feel embarrassed in the least; she was simply exercising her rights.
Qibao and the others exploded upon hearing this.
"Co on, Belinda is way too vile!" Nangong Ran was the first to object, "What does she think our Empire is? This is a world sports event, every athlete undergoes a dical examination before competing. Is she suggesting our Empire is covering for its own?"
