Disputes

On the evening of February 2, 2016, in an interview with Tencent sports, Zhao Yu not only disclosed the origin and development of Ma Jiajun's use of doping, but also provided Tencent sports with a photocopy of the joint letter of Wang Junxia and other 10 athletes who reported Ma Junren's forced use of doping, showing the other side of the shock and terror of Ma Jiajun in those years! "It can be said that this is a letter" soaked in blood and tears ". It not only describes Ma Junren's beating, scolding and maltreating them, but also puts forward that" it's true that Ma Junren has lured and forced us to take large doses of illegal drugs for many years. "Although they are worried about the reputation of their country and the gold content of their gold medals, the ten people suggest that Ma's crimes must be revealed, and they do not want the same thing to happen to the next generation of athletes."

Record scrap

On February 5, 2016, the daily mail of the UK reported that the IAAF had taken action against the scandal of exposing Ma Jiajun in China. Officials of the IAAF have asked the China Association for field work to investigate the incident. Wang Junxia's women's 3000 meter and 10000 meter world records may be cancelled due to this. In a recent statement at that time, IAAF mentioned that CCTV, China's official media, had also reported the incident. The most important evidence of IAAF is the joint letter written by 10 players in 1995 to expose Ma Junren. The letter was written on March 28, 1995. Wang Junxia was the writer. Zhang Linli, Liu Dong and other nine teammates signed the name together. The joint letter was later handed over to writer Zhao Yu. The most shocking sentence in the joint letter is that "Ma Junren has lured and forced us to take large doses of illegal drugs for many years." According to the analysis of the daily mail, according to the relevant regulations of the IAAF, once an athlete automatically admits to taking illegal drugs and wins the world record by relying on drugs, it will be confirmed by the investigation of the official organization of the IAAF,
