The Chinese will be stripped of their gold medal.
For womens gymnastics. The only question is how long will it take before evidence the IOC is willing to act on surfaces. Anyone who has been watching the games know that at least two of their gymnasts are no older than 14 and probably younger. I think it is obvious (since I believe my eyes and not Chinese issued passports) that their ages have been faked.
This is just far too big a secret to be kept forever. Even in China, someone is going to spill these beans eventually, though it could be years from now. Here is the most recent slip of the tongue: http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/summer...ory?id=3534544

You really think the Olympic committee will have the guts to take away the medals from the Chinese. I don't think so. |

I think they do, but they will definitely wait until they are out of the country for good.

I think once the smoking gun appears they will have no choice. What is China going to do them? The IOC is a law unto itself. If what you mean is do I think they will do this with any of their feet still on Chinese soil, I emphatically agree the answer is no.

We were all commenting last night that she looks like she is 11.

highly doubtful. IOC has no interest in investigating this. The passports and papers were in order.

So, why is there an age limit? Are younger gymnasts really that much better than older ones? Why? Seems that youth could also have its dissadvantages.

But didn't Jones admit she cheated before her medals were taken away? If so, Jones in an anomaly in the sports world - or the non sports world for the matter. I doubt the Chinese would admit wrongdoing on their part.

I'm sure Roy Jones Jr agrees that they are going to strip the Chinese gymnasts of their medal.
