"It's the devil and the hero!"
In 1993, the mainland was slightly deficient in long-distance running, and many countries were taking the opportunity to ridicule China, but fortunately, a track and field team broke out of the encirclement, not only winning the 1500m, 3000m, 10000m championships, but also proving the strength of the Chinese to the world.
And this team is the famous "Ma Jiajun", the reason why they can have such results is completely inseparable from coach Ma Junren, everyone thinks that he is the hero of Chinese track and field, and under his leadership, many athletes have broken the feat of world records.
Unexpectedly, when Ma Junren had a brilliant reputation, he fell off the altar because of a scandal, and was not only "swept away", but also scolded as a "black sheep" by people, and even his team members thought that he was simply a "devil coach".
So, what is this scandal? Why do you say that?
Fame spreads
In 1993, at the World Athletics Championships in Stuttgart, Ma Junren brought his "Ma Jiajun" to the field, and the athletes successfully won the "three golds, one silver and one bronze" for China with their own efforts, and let the world understand what Chinese speed is.
The original article was published on CCTV on February 4, 2016 on the author's disclosure of the doping abridgement of "Ma Jiajun Investigation": Ma Junren was forcibly injected by his own hands
In the face of such excellent results, the people of the whole country are enthusiastic, after all, the mainland has always been in the name of table tennis, volleyball and other events, as for the long-distance running is slightly insufficient, which has led to many countries have ridiculed China for this, so in the face of this excellent results, everyone has seen hope.
At the 7th National Games in the same year, Wang Junxia, Qu Yunxia and Liu Dong won the 10,000 meters, 3,000 meters and 1,500 meters respectively, and until now, the women's 10,000 meters world record is still held by Wang Junxia.
In the face of such excellent results, of course, the cultivation of the coach is indispensable, so Ma Junren's reputation is everywhere, and even in the face of the interview, he specifically said: "Break any record you want, and let whoever you want to break, let whoever you want to break", even the Associated Press at that time believed that this was simply a shocking miracle in the history of track and field.
But what people didn't expect was that in 1994, Wang Junxia took the lead in leaving the sports base with 17 main players, and even more so from Ma Junren's training team.
Especially on the eve of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, "Ma Jiajun" had 7 people qualify for the Olympic Games, at this time the Chinese people are looking forward to their excellent results, but what people did not expect is that on the eve of the competition, there were 6 people confirmed to use doping in the drug ban scandal.
For this reason, they were disqualified by the organizers, at this time, the fame of "Ma Jiajun" began to decline, people accused Ma Junren of not, even in the following days, Ma Junren also tried to train new athletes, but the results were not ideal, and finally the name of "Ma Jiajun" gradually declined.
Scandals are frequent
In fact, as early as 1998, Zhao Yu, a well-known journalist and writer, exposed the rare shady scenes in the sports world that year, according to the long reportage of "Ma Jiajun Investigation", it was revealed that Ma Junren, as a coach, not only embezzled athletes' bonuses many times, but also openly sold fake drugs.
After the end of the Asian Games in Hiroshima, he openly sold drug formulas, and took advertisements for "Chinese soft-shelled turtle essence" on the street, especially when "Ma Jiajun" was suspected of taking doping, he also specially borrowed Chinese soft-shelled turtle essence and cordyceps sinensis to try to cover up his behavior.

In the propaganda at that time, it was said that the essence of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle was extracted from the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, and then combined with some traditional Chinese herbal medicines to draw, its main effect is enough to nootropic and brain, tonify the kidneys and strengthen the body, in order to better sell, Ma Junren claimed that his disciples often take it.
Although it seems that the Chinese turtle essence has nothing to do with running, but when I think of it as a celebrity endorsement, many middle-aged and elderly people have bought it, but when everyone buys it, they find that the effect is not very ideal, and it can be described as no effect at all.
At this time, everyone realized that they had been deceived, so they jointly complained to him, which also attracted the attention of the relevant departments, so they launched an investigation into the Chinese soft-shelled turtle essence, but it turned out that the so-called Chinese soft-shelled turtle essence was basically synthesized with saccharin, and there was only one Wang Ba in the whole factory.
At this time, everyone ridiculed Ma Junren, it was simply "a king eight feeds a factory", which also led to a decline in his fame, but this is not a step that caused him to fall off the altar, to say that the most deadly, it has to be Wang Junxia and other ten athletes, who jointly reported him for using doping in strong waves.
Compulsive use of stimulants
After 1993, many team members chose to part ways with Ma Junren because they refused to continue to use doping, and also wrote their personal experiences in detail and handed them over to the well-known writer Zhao Yu.
According to Wang Junxia's report, in the previous time, Ma Junren issued the medicine to the athletes and asked them to inject themselves, but because many athletes rejected this behavior, everyone secretly discarded it, but after a long time, this behavior was also discovered by Ma Junren.
The original article was published in Phoenix Sports on February 3, 2016 about Wang Junxia's accusation against Ma Junren's handwritten letter exposed: he forced us to take banned drugs
So in order to prevent similar situations from happening, in the following days, Ma Junren personally injected the team members, and each athlete basically had to get an injection every day, even on the way to the game, even on the train, Ma Junren personally injected the team members.
But for athletes like Wang Junxia, they just want to win results through their own strength, even if they don't want results or become famous, they don't want to take this drug, but under the circumstances at that time, they must also obey Ma Junren's arrangement, which led to them leaving "Ma Jiajun" collectively.
Dog ownership is famous
Although Ma Junren's behavior was exposed, he also left the Chinese sports world, but in the days that followed, he returned to people's eyes by raising dogs, after all, he is now the chairman of the Tibetan Mastiff Club, and it is also through this way that he has returned to the "peak".
After all, more than ten years ago, the Tibetan mastiff was a unique species in the mainland, and some rich people loved to collect it very much, which led to its price being very speculated, and Ma Junren happened to have a special breeding base, which shows how beautiful he was at that time.
But in the past few years, the "scam" of the Tibetan mastiff seems to have been exposed, and its price has also shrunk seriously, which has also caused Ma Junren's breeding base to face a state of closure, and he rarely appears in the public eye.
In July 2023, Ma Junren will hold his 80th birthday, but as you can see from the photos, his mental outlook is very young, not like an 80-year-old man at all
epilogue
For what he did to athletes, it can be said that he is a "devil" coach, but we cannot deny that he is indeed a hero in mainland long-distance running, and it is his existence that has cultivated a team that shocked the world sports world, and it is all our Chinese children who are proud of themselves.
