All six members of the Chinese women’s gymnastics team at the Beijing Games were old enough to compete, officials from the International Gymnastics Federation said Wednesday after a monthlong investigation into possible age falsification by the team.http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/07L0brb7C75tI/610x.jpg

So sorry to all the "USA USA USA" fanatics here that call cheating on others when we don't win. xlolx xsmhx

IOC due diligence:

IOC: Yes operator, Chinese Government, please.

Operator: Connecting...

Chinese Government: Hello, Chinese Government here.

IOC: Hi, we're just double-checking the age of your olympic gymnasts again.

Chinese Government: They're old enough. If you'd like, we can send another copy of the forged documentation.

IOC: No thanks, we still have the first copy. Have a nice day.

Not too sure why you thought that this is news SE. Everybody knew that the Chinese gokvernment forged them and would stand behind them 100%. The IOC had no power to do anything about it. What a joke. Every person in the entire world knew those kids were just that, kids. But then again, when was the last time that China really cared about any rules?

No voting needed, this is the post of the year.

Syntax, I'm still curious about your "I've been here since Day 1" claim on another thread, when your profile shows you started posting in October, 2007. Could you please clear this up for me? Thanks.

I don't think anybody calls cheating if the USA doesn't win. If you cannot see that these girls are underage, then you are the one that needs to take the blinders off.

No, it isn't about us winning. Yes, the Chinese obviously did cheat (in more ways than this). Yes, you don't have a clue. Yes, I'm a hater and deserve the red sticky you are going to give me. No, you have no idea what its really like in China.

If that girl on the far right is 16, then I am 21

Yes you post without any knowledge.
Yes you are a hater.
Yes I have been to China.
Yes you have no idea what its really like in China.

Who really cares? Women's gymnastics means nothing to most people, except for a one-week span every 4 years. xrotatehx

But even if they are under 16...they still won (albeit barely) against the 'more-seasoned' Americans. Good for them. Whoopty-frickin-do. xcoolx

Oh....and you do realize that you are bickering over WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS, right?!?!?!?! xboringx On a football board no less!! xlolx

[Syntax Error]

Who really cares?Just having a little fun with the ethnocentric crowd. xlolx

while it does seem silly, now. You were away when the games were going on. It got pretty heated with the back and forth. Red dots flew and more than several bannings occured and were reverese after sobering up.

And did you see Alicia Sarcamonie? xeekx xeekx

For me and at least a handful of others, this isn't and never was about jumping jingoism. To put it bluntly - and I swear I'm trying to be delicate here - if I had a buddy who got his nationalism from the same place he got his nookie, I would feel obligated to give him hell about it every day for the rest of his life. It's the international affairs version of a man developing an unnatural and unhealthy interest in "Project Runway" just because his girlfriend watches it. It's a violation of ancient man-law codices everywhere, and while there is no formal punishment for such a transgression, we are going to make fun of you.

Score that one torpedo directly into the side of the Red Chinese warship Syntax Error. xeekx

[Dane96]

Bench got reppies from me- Way to call ou the manhood. Hey, I just got close with a Croatian girl-- I am all for their inclusion into the EU! Sarcasm inserted.

As someone who is as tight as you can be with a girl without sleeping with her, I got FIRST HAND accounts from the now DIRECTOR OF NEW MEDIA/ON-LINE content on how F'd up the Chinese were over not just the Olympics...but the two years building up to it.

She probably spent well over a year in-country working with the Chinese!

[BlueHen86]

I got him.
Me too.

[Dane96]

Yeah...he is going to get all sorts of rep boosts after that post. Right now...that is in my short running for post of the year.

Unfortunately, I feel it will be deleted for an "attack" and "violation of AGS TOS" by late evening...at best.

Can someone copy and save for prosperity?

Speaking to me? No, I have many relationship with people of Chinese heritage. In fact, I studied with a Chinese Provinical Leader while in my MPA program...and we were very close.

Additionally, I just spent time with someone who had FIRST-HAND relations with the Chinese OC.

I dont call that ignorant...I call that listeing to opinions and forging my own. I don't, however, blame the Chinese people for anything that would constitute cheating or shams regarding perception. Same as I wouldnt for Iranian/Persians...or would I expect of people who look at our Governement.

I would expect them to listen and forge opinions on their own!
