If He Kexin is found to be underage, would the whole team be stripped of the team gold?

Question

Or just her and the other girl (Deng Linlin, I think?)

Answer 1

well, i think this whole thing is stupid. the IOC is doing this because of a COMPUTER HACKER's charge who is also a sore loser which should NEVER be used in any case because a hacker should never be taken seriously. hacker's live to hurt others, and that hacker is no different. shame on him. really, this whole thing is embarrassing to usa, china, and the IOC, and it should just be forgotten.

Answer 2

Yes and oh Deng Linlin is 16 all right. Put the cache in google translator and you'll see she's 16. Weird, eh?

Answer 3

Why you guys do not accept that someone is better than you...stop looking for excuses....

Answer 4

Yes...the whole team will be DQ'd in the team competition if she is under age!!!

It will not effect the other Chinese gymnasts in the individual events...

Answer 5

Yeah the whole team would be stripped of the team gold.

Answer 6

I'm laughing that the Chinese government cleared out the google cache but forgot to clear the cache of a Chinese search engine.

Oops, I got caught cheating again (look at Yang Yun, the self-confessed 14 year old, in Sydney).

Answer 7

The entire gold-winning team would be stripped. You have to remember that she contributed to their win- much like Marion Jones did to the 4x100 when she was found guilty of doping. And like that 4x100 team, all of the medals will be taken.

Answer 8

If it was an American caught cheating, what would the answer be - ummm DQ, right.

EIther the rules are there for everyone or no one.

Bela had it - to stop this, take away the age requirement.  If they are good enough to make the team and win, great.  If not, then they lose.

But the rules are there, China has disregarded them more than once, and there should be consequences.

He Kexin is good though, no doubt about it.

Answer 9

I hope not, because whether they were underage or not, they were very impressive.

Answer 10

When the American single person was DQd in a team event the entire team was stripped of their gold.

I hope the rules are fairly distributed and the Chinese are all stripped of their gold.

Fair is fair.

Answer 11

Yes, any team sports that she won any medal for would be forfeited.  However China is going to kill to make sure this never happens.  Even if they have to kill He's whole family.  

Answer 12

No, only those who are underage will be disqualified and stripped of their medals. Not the whole Chinese gymnastics team.
