If Kexin He is found to be underage, how do they handle her team medal?

Question

If Kexin He is found to be underage and the IOC strips her of her medals, how does that affect China's Women's Team Competition gold medal for the rest of the team? Would the US team move into first?

Answer 1

I reckon the result will be inconclusive.  

In the end, it is Media vs. Government

Media relies on sources (in this case, a "hacker") and not necessarily facts

IOC needs facts (in this case, like it or not is the Government documents)

Answer 2

When Marion Jones was stripped of her medals for doping, the team also lost their medal.  So yes, if Kexin He is DQ because of underage, it will affect the rest of the team.  USA would then get the gold medal.

Answer 3

She becomes disqualified, so her scores become zeros. The others will still count, but that will put China in last place since in the team final, all scores must count.

The whole team would have to give up their medals.

Answer 4

so it looks as though she is actually a "He"! LOL.

USA awarded team gold and Nastia Lukin will receive gold in uneven bars WHEN her cheating ways are exposed.

Thank God for Stryde, the Intrepidus Group member who put this info into the Epoch times.

Answer 5

Kexin He didn't appear to be underage, but what do I know.

Answer 6

The same way that they handled the medals from the US teams where one member was found to have doped during the Olympics, the entire team would be DQd.

Answer 7

I believe so.

I also hope so, they deserve to win!  

Answer 8

I'll say NOTHING!!

The US team will have to wait until 2012 in London (their BLOODi Brother Nation)

Answer 9

It would be stripped. In a similar way to how a relay team would have to return a medal in track if one of it's members was found to be doping. Cheating is cheating. There is actually suspicion (and evidence) that up to 3 of China's gymnasts are underage. Not just He...

Answer 10

IF is such a big word, and so IF He Kexin is proven to be within the age limits, will all of you apologise personally to her for causing her much distress?  IF 1.3 billion Chinese flooded YA to put up allegations that all Americans are cheats, does the whole world take Americans as cheaters?  This is the same analogy.  Use your brains!

Your question confirms to the whole world of one fact: USA is a SORE LOSER!

Answer 11

Looks like a 72 percent that the US could get the gold medal.

Kexin He may even be banned from international competition temporarily by a suspension of about 3-6 months, equivalent to what can happen if you violate doping rules. This is my guess to the possible punishment on Kexin if the IOC finds Kexin guilty of being underage.

Answer 12

Maybe they would take out her score and if the teams total is then under the others they would get whatever medal (Or none) that it would place them in.

I don't know at all if this it true, but it seems to make sense.

Answer 13

Whoa fallen, have you checked evidence? Chinese magazines saying that she was 14 and was great in all this and that, and then before the olympics, suddenly it says shes 16? And US isnt a sore loser, its the IOC thats checking into their ages, not the US.
