What do you thing that IOC decided to investigate Chinese gymnast's age?

Question

I wonder if China can cheat something like that...

Is it true that they change the DOB on passports?

Answer 1

i'm actually korean-chinese, and i'm not saying this just because china is part of my heritage, but i can't help but feel that there's something fishy going on. i believe that there's more than what meets the eye.

china can't be that stupid to risk their reputation like that. if they really cheated, then they're really a fool.  

Answer 2

if anyone had found the evidence, why won't he/she reveal it first, before report to the media?

that will end all the speculation.

I will be disappointed if IOC didn't investigate, it has responsibility after all, just like going after the Athletes who are doping.

to Dirk,

there is no more CCCP, it ended in 91, please wake up, the cold war is OVER

well, this is the example of Westerners still think China as the old Soviet Union.

Answer 3

I am a Chinese. I don't hear any news about the age problem. But if it is true China should be punished.

Answer 4

yes... our China is cheating.I personally think only 程菲 is of age.

they did change the DOB on their passport.

I know because china has cheated on thing not even concerning events... in places I didn't know you could cheat!

I am ashamed of China.

I bet a lot of you don't know that those footsteps in the opening ceremony were digitally enhanced and never really happened.

They also masked the real singer of the Chinese national anthem in the opening ceremony. They sent a 'cuter' little girl to go sing and the real singer wasn't even on stage.

One gymnast already admitted to being 14, so no doubt in my mind... china is cheating...

I just hope this is all they'll do... T_T

Can you say WHHAATT! Trusting a hacker...ahahaha. Ppl are stupido

Answer 6

The World ask American, "Where are Mass Destructive Weapons in Iraq?"

American always fabricate!

Answer 7

I would like to know what the truth is!  I'm really curious about it, to be honest, I think if Chinese did cheat on this, it would be a great great shame!

Answer 8

From one John Stewart fan to another (hahaha) - I don't think China has anything to be worried about regarding IOC investigations.  IMO, these allegations from rumors and jealousy from the start.  As for America's hackers digging deep into Google to find the information - if they are hackers, doesn't that mean they can access and also ALTER the information?  If the IOC knows what's good for them, they shouldn't be wasting their time undertaking investigations into things that arose because the US can't hack losing so badly.

@Bart - why do I get the idea you are a troll???  >>

Answer 9

....aside from the obvious fact that CCCP can change anything like all other 'pirated brands' China greedily indulges

....the USA would naturally be 'faulted' by the CCCP as a routine part of standard Chinese equivocation

....finger-pointing and 'wrong vs. wrong', plus factual disruption and misinterpretation are all routine processes by Chinese to preserve 'Nationalist Pride"

...blaming the USA is easy to do, and changes "nothing"

....in the future, please try to pretend to remember, actions by CCCP are not the fault of the USA

...make your own bed and lie in it....do not equivocate

....so obvious, so typical, 'that is China', oblivious to the obvious

Answer 11

Yes its starting to heat up.

According to Yahoo, a computer security expert has found a spreadsheet by the General Administration of Sport of China that lists for as 14 years old in the cache of the Baidu search engine. Listings on other search engines like google to the information could no longer be accessed.

However there are several news reports in Chinese media saying that each was 13/14 this year as well, which there later told to be wrong by state officials, adding more fuel to the fire.

Answer 12

It is a sad day. Many ancestor are weeping China Has always taken the high road when it came to honor. But there is no honor in cheating. There is only shame.  And what I find revolting is that they would never ask a man to cheat because he would loose honor but they will TELL a women to cheat and she must... Very sad day Much Shame

Answer 13

i only believe the fact...all the words without evidence are bullshit.

Answer 14

h**l yeah. The chinese athletes are sponsored by the chinese government. and to put their best athelets out there on their turf wouldnt be hard. all tey have to do is convert her age on her passport and everything is solved. the chinese are all about having face.

Answer 15

Yes, I believe the girl he Kexin is not 16. Just check out the website. When I first saw her perform on TV, I thought she was 12! Granted, Chinese girls/women are known to look younger than westerners. But in this case, it crosses the line.

I do believe they cheated, however, when you think about it, does it really matter? Would a chance of getting a medal increase because she is 2 years younger than she claims to be?? It is sad that China lied and broke the rule, but not because US is using such excuse due to their jealousy.
