[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 187385, member: 3626"] The IOC ruled -- the Chinese gymnasts are all over 16. HA! Take a look at He. That's a baby. Of course, the IOC again accepted the Chinese documents. No real investigation. How perfectly nauseating. I do wonder when the IOC will get it. They make rules they don't enforce. They coddle the home country regardless of what is occurring. Personally, I think the Olympics changed from a thing of joy and beauty to a thing of greed the day the IOC allowed professionals to participate. China has turned Beijing into a remarkable city in 7 years. I have friends who have visited there on a few occasions. They showed pictures of it 20 years ago, 12 years ago. The change is truly amazing. The politics there are still oppressive, even more so than the USSR in its prime. In the Olympics itself, it has shown a willingness to cheat to get the medals. What a sad statement for all athletes. The news here has been wonderful, too. The newspapers have mentioned athletes not shown on TV who have gotten medals for the first time for their countries. The stories have been very heartwarming about these athletes and their frequently unknown sports. [/QUOTE]
