In the only Asian city participated in the 400 meter hurdles, reaching the semifinals and twice beating the record of Spain. His 55.23 mark obtained in the semifinals of the Games still remains España.En record of the Barcelona Games in 1992 was part of the 4x400 relay team being eliminated in the first round with the rest of the team to finish in 6th place in the series classification. Cristina Perez is the mother of three children born in wedlock with Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes Rodriguez, who has remained true and supported to overcome great obstacles in life, as she did with the fences in competitive stage
How to take contact with athletics? At age 12 I started training in school Bethencourt Ramirez, Las Rehoyas, and 15 of Spain was third in 300 hurdles youth, directed by Fernando Jimenez. Encouraged by my cousin, Pilar Ramos Diaz athlete also, in 1981, aged 16, was the junior national champion high school team Isabella of Spain, who led the technician Angel Viera.Later, he decides to go to train the capital of Spain.It was. Fernando Jimenez I contacted the then college athlete and as Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes, who asked me to go to Madrid Blume residency training with Manuel Pascua Piqueras, the most important person in my career. At 17, I broke up with my environment, I found something not too hard because it was my boyfriend Eufemiano and Medical Spanish Athletics Federation. Back left the Martin Freire (now Ciudad Deportiva Las Palmas), where athletes and employees we were a real family.How about acclimated to Madrid?Initially cold and suffered physical pain, and even the soul, of a preparation much more demanding than that performed here. Successfully competed in events such as the 100, 200, 4x100 and 4x400 meter dash and the 400 meter hurdles, managing records in all of Spain. It also won the bronze medal in 400 meters at the European Championships in Lievin (France) in 1987.Prior to taking part in his first Olympics, the 1988 Seoul, was involved in an alleged doping.It was taken, allegedly, a slimming product in a competition in Barcelona, where I broke the national record of 100 meters. I myself asked me over in Barcelona, to prevent malicious comments, being the wife of the doctor of the Spanish Federation. However, several athletes urine bottles were placed in a well-known national brand of water, the absence of official vessels, so that control results were invalidated.Both his club, Union Deportiva Las Palmas, as the press and society grancanaria showed him their full support.It was something that deeply grateful, because I felt depressed because of doping charge that really hurt me.The following year he participates in Seoul 88.They ran the 400 meter hurdles and was fifth in the semifinals, being very near the end. In Korea could pressure me, competing for the first time in a big stadium full of people. If I took part in that meeting was for the great work Easter psychological Piqueras.And four years after arriving Barcelona Olympics 92.Yes, there was sixth in the second set of 4x400, but my great merit was to compete, since February 17 of that year came into the world my first child, and five months later was already running at the highest level.In 1997 decided to leave athletics ...I did it after being champion of Spain in 200 meter race in Valencia. With 31 years did not want to get bitten with girls of 17, and I was disgusted to see that the sport in general is hypocritical not get rid of leaders or athletes, with numerous doping cases and everything seems possible with such to win.Sources Eufemiano? Included in that group of people?They are all elite sports and all athletes: Eufemiano Fuentes, the other doctor who leads the fighters, other doctors that nobody knows the name ... It's the system that's in world sport.Do you think her husband took a wrong turn in Medicine?I do not think that politicians were wrong. The Civil Guard and the State made a fudge, because calling a chief criminal plot a doctor dedicated to sports medicine and he has not killed anyone I find it shameful for the Spanish State. The judge, in fact, since this issue was shelved.Currently, Dr. Fuentes works on the island, after many years away.And their children and I enjoyed it more than Eufemiano to have him home. A doctor quite valuable and prestigious. Many people will tell you that your inquiry is a great person and was surprised that some media it would be labeled a little less, the head of a criminal plot. It's amazing! Eufemiano has been subjected to a campaign, to show that the sport has been cleaned, but how many doctors are in the sport little calm and secretly working? I can say many. And I say with pride that many Olympic medals were achieved thanks to Dr. Fuentes.Does your most difficult moment was when her husband entered the jail?No, I've had more difficult, unfortunately. Bringing of Eufemiano were indignant, because I thought it was a witch hunt, were after him, period. They were doing a cleanup in the sport, for that you have to start from the bottom. A doctor who knows what he has in hand does not hurt, but the profane. I know what happened in Barcelona 92 and I'm a Pandora's box, as I open one day, sport falls down, but out of respect for my colleagues, people who are sacrificing, I remain silent, although I speak to sink to all who are involved in this business, from the Sports Council to smaller body.Do you not think it ran at a disadvantage when competing with rivals who knew he had doped?That question is a bit shoddy. If you pass the checks and give no positive means you have not doped.During your career ever took something forbidden?I spent my controls and all were negative. I'm not going to uncover the hare.But some, at least, they can say ...In the Olympics you see everything. From a partner leaves the room with his face heals and returns with a disfigured face. I also saw 17 year old girls think they had 5 or 6. If they slow the growth? I do not mean anything, but in sport, as I experienced it with the things I saw, there are many lies.? Usain Bolt, who won so easily in 100 and 200 meter dash in Beijing, can be a doped athlete undercover, as was the Canadian Ben Johnson?A Ben Johnson caught him with a doping substance because I was doing wrong. But Bolt has gone to the Olympics based salad and a glass of water? I, as an athlete, I say no, but knew how to make things better. Does Michael Phelps is so superior to other swimmers? No, but it makes things better than others. The important thing in sport is work, effort and sacrifice, and the establishment of a pill that is going to go far, it takes clear. It remains important and will have a good coach and a good doctor, and what comes out of there is hypocrisy.Like what?There are many doctors who carry fighters, many wrestlers have tested positive, and these doctors are fighting against doping. Man, please!You speak of Dr. Ramos Gordillo?I'm not naming names. What there is a lot of hypocrisy in the sport, and we've been in elite sport we know what's there, and you walk if you're interested, and if you're out doing sport-health, which is what I do now, Romano Park or in quarries.And also keep in a splendid way, what do you do now?Athletics gave me much glory and made history canary and national level, but gave up important things. I blame myself for not studying Veterinary, because I always had a passion for animals.Do not carve knew his future?When asked competing political patronage, and I responded that what mattered was the future, but then they forgot me. I do not understand that having done important things in athletics that are up today (sports leaders and politicians) do not remember me.Today is the mother of three children ...Live Eufemiano dedicated to them and that was raced while my partner and my doctor, and also worked as a psychologist with me. My eldest sons, Eufemiano, is 16 years old (and played football at St. Bridget Youth), the second is Noah, 6, and then there's the girl, Gara, 5. We live very quietly in Los Olivos (Santa Brigida), although in the future I would like to do in the quarries.
