  1. YES...FAIR IS FAIR


  2. They had better, some of them look like they are 12!!

  3. Yes.

  4. Yes, I think they should.  However if they do, they will probably wait until after the Olympics.  There are too many discrepencies and if they are lying about the girls ages, then something needs to be done about it.  

    Lying about someone's age, when there are age requirement rules isn't any different than doping, when that is certainly not allowed, why should someone underage be allowed to compete?

  5. Of course. IOC and FIG and any other governing body. It should be transparent and no holds barred investigation. And heads should roll if it's proven that they are underage and falsified documents.

  6. yes!!!! it's so not fair!!!! if they cheated they should be punished. i think it's a little obvious that they aren't 16. some of them probably are but there certainly are ones that arent.

  7. The IOC SHOULD investigate but it is likely they will not. They don't want to take the change of pissing off the host country. China is well aware of this. The Olympics are not about pride in one's national athletes. The Olympics are about money. No one on the ICO wants to take a chance on jeopardizing his or her position on the committee.  

  8. Commies lie, cheat, steal, don't play by the rules, and really, truly do not care whether you like it or not, or what you think.  

  9. Why should they only investigate the Chinese?  Why not all the athletes?  

  10. I think if there is a question of someone cheating then it should be looked into. Not just dismissed, I mean this for any country being accused of cheating.  

  11. Yes, they should!

  12. You can keep asking this type of question forever.  It just shows even more to the world how narrow minded the americans are.

    In some events, such as the vault.. it's actually a disadvantage for the Chinese girls because it's a huge equipment for them to get over.  The vault itself is like up to their head.  Compare to the bigger Americans.. which is easier for them to maneuver on it.

    No one in the world can say that there is cheating, drugs, judges which are bribed until they are proven guilty.  There is no point to point fingers to who is cheating or not.. I think all countries do it to some degree.  Especially the ones that has better resources and better financial support.  Not necessary they are taking drugs, but more advanced "supplement" for sure.

    Why do ppl even bother to watch Olympics if it makes them so angry thinking another country is cheating?  Just turn off the TV.

    And what is cheating?  THIS is cheating:

  13. Not gonna happen. It should, but it won't.

    An investigation could be started right now if a team filed a complaint. But no one, not even the U.S., will do that, for fear of the Chinese judging down the road. Even if an investigation was started, it probably wouldn't get too far-If the Chinese can alter a passport, the sure as h**l can alter other documents.

    In short, don't expect anything to happen.

  14. If they really care they should. But investigating might ruin our friendship with China for not believing them.
