The results of He Jie's investigation were released, the results were cancelled, and the person behind the scenes was indeed Xtep
Recently, He Jie was questioned by netizens at the Beijing Half Marathon and was escorted by the brand Xtep. The reason is that netizens found from the live broadcast that in the last few hundred meters of the race, He Jie was obviously behind the three foreign players. But what they didn't expect was that the three foreign players deliberately let He Jie surpass them, so that He Jie won the championship of this game.
Because the game was broadcast live, this scene was filmed clearly. So there is no denying this, but why did those three players let He Jie win the championship. There is only one possibility, that is, the brand Xtep wants He Jie to win the championship. The reason is very simple, He Jie is the spokesperson of Xtep. If He Jie can win the championship, then Xtep's exposure and popularity as a brand will be higher, and there will be better advertising effects.
But sports competition is all about fairness, and such an approach is contrary to the spirit of sportsmanship. If this kind of competition has an inside story, then what fairness can there be after that. So for a while, this matter was also on the hot search, and the relevant departments also intervened in the investigation of this matter. On April 19, officials announced the results of the investigation. Sure enough, as netizens guessed, the person behind the scenes was indeed Xtep.
It turned out that this time Xtep invited 4 foreign players to serve as He Jie's delivery staff, commonly known as rabbits. However, the identities of the four pacemakers were not identified, but the four were allowed to compete as special guests. In the middle of the game, one person gave up the game. The remaining three cooperated with He Jie to win the championship this time. So now He Jie and the three foreign players have been canceled, and the cooperation with Xtep has also been canceled.
For this incident, Xtep also issued an apology statement. He said that he fully accepted the punishment decision made by the organizing committee, and would seriously reflect on it, conduct a deep review, and seriously deal with the personnel involved. Guarantee that such incidents will not occur in the future.
But the most surprising thing about this incident is why the specially invited pacemakers are actually more powerful than He Jie. In this way, it seems that He Jie still has to work hard in the future, and he can't even run the pacemaker. After all, the notice also said that the three foreign athletes only began to slow down slowly when there were still two kilometers left, and cooperated with He Jie to win the championship. If people really run with all their might, I'm afraid they will be able to surpass He Jie a lot.
