【新唐人2012年8月9日讯】刘翔在伦敦奥运110米栏的跑道上摔倒了，也摔出了无数的疑问。是作秀？是忽悠老百姓？国内民众议论纷纷。支持者认为，伤情是不可抗力；反对者则认为，刘翔在明知有伤无法比赛的情况下上场，作秀嫌疑十足，一切都是为了赞助商。而他的教练孙海平曾经一语道破玄机说，刘翔参赛是一项“任务”，对此，两名大陆运动员进行了分析。
《新浪》网站8号转载大陆湖南《潇湘晨报》的文章说，刘翔与四年前如出一辙的摔倒，“也给全世界留下一个硕大的问号——如果真的有伤，何必站上起点？”
事实上，在刘翔赛后的发布会上，田径管理中心副主任冯树勇，回答记者就刘翔受伤时间的提问，说，刘翔的伤一直存在，不像一些媒体报导——完全恢复。
那么，是什么让刘翔宁可付出右脚跟腱断裂的代价，也不得不站上起跑线呢？天津田径运动员王超认为，这是体制造成的。
天津田径运动员王超：“中国这些个像体育来说，它在表面上都要做一些工程，他就需要这些运动员，不管怎么样，给外人展现的特别好。其实，实质的东西它是不会让你知道的。对于人的本来的这个，本性的东西，它不特别重视，它只要是能够显示它在执政情况下，某一方面特别好，就可以了。”
刘翔因伤退赛后，连续有大陆媒体人发微博爆料说，媒体提前得知消息“刘翔会退赛”。还有网友在推特上披露，省宣传部门通知：根据上级指示，对刘翔在伦敦奥运会上没有完成比赛一事，严格执行我部此前有关通知精神，重点报导刘翔顽强拚搏精神，不作负面报导和评论。同时，《新华网》的报导给刘翔带上了“伟大运动员”的光环，并说他的励志传奇成为奥林匹克故事，将永远流传。
大陆篮球运动员杨忠表示，官方为了用运动员的成绩标榜自身，在体育界弄出了很多黑幕。
大陆篮球运动员杨忠：“我是搞体育出身的，我知道他们后边有很多黑幕，有很多东西。我的年龄都是他们给我改的，刚开始给我变大，后来又给我变小。他就是为了比赛、为了拿成绩，为了给自己拿成绩，他所以在外面欺骗。打那个假球，还有收买裁判，很多东西最后都是用金钱，甚至用一些政治手段。”
除了政治因素，也有网友质疑，是刘翔身后的“利益链”在起作用。据披露，刘翔一共拥有17个赞助商，有许多广告合约在身，而这些收入首先是属于国家体育总局的。
天津田径运动员王超：“他现在已经被商业化了。他的一举一动都牵扯到一些利益的东西，所以说，只要是以利益出发，别的都可以作假。”
《新浪网》8号引用《新华社》某知名记者的微博爆料说，刘翔2008年奥运之前，疲于应付各种商业活动，状态远远达不到争夺奖牌的要求，但是却拒绝降低某运动品牌的代言费。因为刘翔的团队在媒体、政府里有很多人脉，刘翔的收入有很多会归入体育总局。这家运动品牌无奈的推出：刘翔以伤病理由“退赛”的方案。理由是：一能保住刘翔的面子，二，作为赞助商，品牌也不会有太大损失。因为代言人因伤病而退赛，广告效应、商业价值，可能不降反升。
报导说，如果这种说法是事实，则刘翔这几年的受伤、疗伤以及养伤，都是巨大的骗局。

Liu Xiang has no choice
Liu Xiang fell on the track of the 110-meter hurdles,
which has provoked much discussion inside China.
Supporters said the injury is a force majeure,
while critics doubt it was just a show.
He might be there just for his sponsors,
because he knew clearly that he can’t make it.
His coach said that his participation is an obligation.
Sina.com posted an article from XiaoXiang Morning,
saying that Liu fell again like 4 years ago,
which raised a big question: If he was seriously injured,
why bother starting from the starting blocks?
At the news conference after the game, the deputy director
of Track and Field Management Center, Feng Shuyong said
Liu has been holding an injury and has not fully recovered,
like some media reported.
Then what makes Liu start from the starting blocks
resulting in snapping his achilles tendon?
Wang Chao from Tianjin Tracks and Field team said
the system is to be blamed.
Wang Chao, Athlete from Tianjin Tracks and Field Team:
“The Chinese Regime use sports to burnish their public image.
So they need the athletes to be their decorations.
They won’t let you know what’s behind the scene.
They never care about human nature. All they want
is to show that their judgment is good in some aspects."
After Liu’s fall, some Chinese journalists said on their
micro-blogs that the media knew in advance that Liu would quit the race.
Some netizens said, provincial propaganda departments
have instructed that:
regarding Liu’s failure, you shall strictly follow
the previous instructions,
focusing the coverage on Liu’s persistence,
don’t criticize or comment negatively.
At the same time, reports from Xinhua news agency
proclaimed him to be the greatest athlete, saying his story will become an Olympic legend.
Mainland Chinese athlete, Yang Zhong said that
in order to polish their image with athletes’achievement,
local authorities played many dirty tricks.
Mainland Chinese Basketball Player Yang Zhong:
“I am a professional athlete. I know about many hidden secrets.
My age was changed. It was first changed to be older,
then changed again to be younger.
They did this in order to get most out of the competitions
so that they can make use of the athlete’s achievements.
They even bribe referees, and use political means."
Besides Political factors, many netizens doubt that it is the
“interest chain" behind the manipulating of Liu.
Liu has 17 sponsors and numerous ads’ contracts, with all
the income belonging to the General Administration of Sport.
Wang Chao: “He has become a commercial product.
Whatever he did would affect the authority’s income,
so for the sake of money,
everything can be forged."
Sina.com quoted from a well-known journalist’s micro-blog
said, before the 2008 Olympics,
Liu was kept so busy with numerous commercial activities
that he was very far away from competing for gold.
However, his team refused to lower the charge for
representing a sports supplies brand name.
His team has a strong government and media relationship,
and all of his belongs to the national sports authority.
So the sponsor requested that Liu quit the race using the
excuse of injury so that Liu might not lose face and
the sponsor’s brand image wouldn’t be damaged,
instead it might even be enhanced.
The report said that if this is true, then Liu’s injury and
hospitalization for all these years has been a mere lie.
