00:00 EJ Obviana was charged with the accusation of a former Olympic gold medalist's wife
00:05 who was using performance enhancing drugs.
00:08 The Philippine Olympic Committee accused her of having been involved in the use of drugs
00:14 but was always negative about them.
00:16 Sergey Castillo was the one who was charged.
00:18 The Philippine's justice system, EJ Obviana
00:27 was the world's number 2 and Asia's number 1 vaulter.
00:35 This comment was raised by a former Olympic gold medalist's wife in Pole Vault.
00:47 She said that Obviana was doped or was addicted to performance enhancing drugs
00:54 like another athlete who was also a coach of Obviana.
00:58 Obviana also shared a screenshot of the post
01:02 with a caption that she prefers to be classy and dignified.
01:07 But she was dismayed and angry at the accusation.
01:10 Obviana added that this is probably the replacement for her success.
01:15 We also tried to ask for a separate reaction from Obviana
01:19 but she said she was in a training camp in Dubai.
01:22 She is asking her legal team to follow suit on the issue.
01:28 Legal action is most likely sir.
01:30 Yes. Yes. So that they can give a lesson to those who post things without a basis.
01:41 She was also defended by the Philippine Olympic Committee.
01:44 That's not true. With that status of elite athlete at your top 2nd in the world,
01:52 it's impossible to do that. We are very careful with that, especially with foreign coaches.
01:58 I know EJ. He has a bit of jealousy and a bit of anger.
02:05 The committee also decided that Obviana will pass all doping tests in the next competition
02:12 before the Asian Games where she broke the pole vault record.
02:18 The truth is, she already passed the doping tests that she took. She cleared them.
02:26 The Senate Committee on Sports said that the accused should release evidence and not spread the news on social media.
02:36 Meanwhile, the POC insisted that it will be passed on the October 19 deadline
02:42 to let us know if Gilas player Justin Brownlee will protest his positive sample A in the doping test in the Asian Games
02:51 and if he will also be tested for sample B, said a Gilas team manager.
02:57 A and B is the same urine. So why you're going to tell them to open it, questioning them or you will contest it,
03:09 the one who will open it will also do that. If you ask me, I will not contest it. If I will contest it, it's the same contents.
03:16 For GMA Integrated News, Cedric Castillo was on the air for 24 hours.
