I know I'm not the only one hearing about China cheating by putting 14 year olds in the Olympics when the age limit is 16.

I don't think they CHEATED... but it was definitely biased. And, theyre used to the garbage air.


I don't think this actually addresses our issues:

* The judges being biased is concerning because the judges are supposed to be internationally spread specifically to prevent bias. The number of controversies in the female gymnastics apparatus finals indicates that some real pressure exists, but the real question is what kind? So there's no real difference here between the judges being biased and cheating except to raise the possibility that no Chinese were party to the judges' bias, but really, do you think that would be the case?

* The events which really would have affected athletes e.g. the athletics and the open-air sports that really take endurance i.e. use one's oxidative capacity, don't generally seem to be the sports that China excels in anyway. The sports that China really dominated are diving, gymnastics and the lighter weightlifting divisions, and if I missed anything else, I'd be most interested to know what.

lol!!!!! just proves how good china is i mean if a 13 year old and dive better then 18-20 year olds and they are pros then it just shows that china is whipping all the other countries ass alot!

Well, I certainly wouldn't deny that!

But nonetheless we are more concerned with the issue of integrity, not mere squabblings over sour-grapes.

I believe that the Olympics should be held in third-world countries. I want the 2012 Olympics to be in Georgia or the Czech Republic (which will probably flop back to "Czechoslovakia" by the time I publish this post, but you get the point) because then it would all be fair because they suck at everything. That eliminates every problem. Air is great, I bet.

Yeah! We should completely separate all the different races and send them back to their country! Wait, that sounds familiar, let me think. Hmmm... it's on the tip of my tongue. I know that I know what this is. Different races, no combining, complete separation. Man! What could it be? I think we tried that in the past and it didn't work well. Well I give up... I just can't seem to remember what it's called.

Lol ehh...

I don't think its fair that a Russian is in USA's gymnastics team and is versing against Russia.

Whats the point of calling it USA's team? Yeah they lived there I suppose but still.

Ehh I'm an American citizen and I do not consider myself at all an American.

And for those watching the Olympics in Russia, seeing a Russian play on the American team isn't so pleasant, surely.
