Answer 2

The whole team can be disqualified, which would result in the United States getting the gold medal.

There is an 8 year window to gather evidence, starting with the closing ceremonies of this year's Olympics.

Answer 3

I hope not :)

Answer 4

why are people so quick to call china cheaters when we had cheaters of our own

Answer 5

idk, but they should have been

that is so unfair

having girls who havent hit puberty to go against girls (USA) that have been waiting and trying so hard, and then having the cheaters win!

i bet they had to stuff all of the little girls bras...

hehe

it makes me mad

god!

what were they thinking?

Answer 6

Hahhahahha, I don't think anywho would accuse those cute girls.

Why? - Simply it's not the truth! And that's why us media are eating a sour grape! They do not hold the truth!

Check the documentary vedio taken in 2003 about how Chinese gymnastics prepared for the olympic:

a quick translation:

Yuyuan Jiang: "(I am) 12." (in 2003).

Answer 7

it's completely unfair. go USA!

Answer 8

That link only says, some television news station, magazine, or local newspaper reporting the girls to be underage. Still not enough to prove they're really underage. The event China won in gymnastics was a team event, so the whole team should be disqualified or stripped of their medals if someone can prove they're underage.

Answer 9

If it could be proved the team would be disqualified and would lose their medals. Even if only one is under age.
