[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 187379, member: 831"] China, that is. About the age of some of their female gymnasts? He in particular. I've been watching gymnastics since 1968 when the Olympics were in Mexico City. It's subjective sport, this is true. I don't necessarily agree with the age 16 rule, but it's rule. Nastia Luikin did not compete in Athens because she was 14 and she was the number one gymnast in the world at the time. The IOC? They need to grow a spine, in my opinion. Some claim sour grapes. Maybe. For me, it's about government sanctioned cheating. Regimes like China need to understand there will be serious consequences if they are caught doing this. I think about if it were my sister that trained, and sacrificed, for years to be denied a metal because another country cheated. How would I feel about it? Pretty angry, I surmise. [/QUOTE]
