雅思閱讀文章精選：里約奧運(yùn)會(huì)興奮劑事件

中華考試網(wǎng) 2016-09-09 【大中小】

　　距離里約奧運(yùn)會(huì)的開幕還有不到一周的時(shí)間。這是第一屆在南美洲舉辦的奧運(yùn)會(huì)。但是目前，真正吸引全世界目光的是三件事：第一、寨卡病毒，第二、里約的安全和硬件設(shè)施建設(shè)，第三、俄羅斯的興奮劑事件。

　　《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》雜志近日刊登了一篇與俄羅斯興奮劑事件有關(guān)的文章。俄羅斯反興奮劑實(shí)驗(yàn)室的前主任羅琴科夫博士向媒體坦白俄羅斯一直在給運(yùn)動(dòng)員注射違禁藥物以提高訓(xùn)練水平和運(yùn)動(dòng)成績，他同時(shí)還披露俄羅斯反興奮劑實(shí)驗(yàn)室是如何偷換尿樣的。

　　今天，我們就一起來閱讀一下《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》上的這篇文章，希望大家可以提高閱讀成績。

　　WHEN Grigory Rodchenkov, the erstwhile director of Russia’s anti-doping lab, confessed that he had helped run a state-directed doping programme during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, his story sounded fanciful. He said he had served athletes steroid-spiked cocktails mixed with cognac and vermouth, while the Federal Security Service had cracked the supposedly foolproof urine-sample bottles used in international competition. The sports ministry, he claimed, fed lab officials lists of athletes to be protected; their drug-laced samples were swapped for clean ones through a hole in the wall of the Sochi testing facility.

　　The World Anti-Doping Agency dispatched a team to investigate. This week, the results came back positive. The report details a co-ordinated government-run doping effort. Since 2011 the Moscow anti-doping laboratory, in concert with the sports ministry, had used a technique called “the disappearing positive” to cover up for dirty athletes; the FSB helped cook up a more sophisticated sample-swapping plan for the Sochi games. The cheating touched at least 30 sports, tainting Russia’s triumphant haul of 33 medals in Sochi.
