    Just waiting for them to revise the age of those gymnasts. Here is some real proof.

    Is that really a news to you? Everyone knows age accuracy has been in Asia, Africa and, to a lesser extent, South America for years. The CBA is trying to right the ship and crack down on the discrepancy now. I thought that's a positive sign, correct? Back to your logic. Many athletes had been exposed to use steroid before. So would you use that as proof to say a football player is on steroid when you see one with a big thick neck?

    Any punishment to them? I don't think any of them should represent China in international games.

    Not too soon. You never know if those revised year of birth are correct or not. They tend to change certain players' ages back and forth.

    i dunno why it matters how old they are unless they are underage. i'm 32 but physically i'm about 24. if they can get the job done who cares if they shaved a few years off of their real age.

    it's not giving them a real unfair advantage over anyone. maybe someone should go back and check lebron and oden's real ages. :p

    They are taking advantage in those youth games, you know, some 22 years-old playing against under-18.
