What happens if the chinese gymnastics team gets caught about lying of their age?

Question

will team usa get the gold medal

Answer 1

Probably.....its would be fair....

Answer 2

what is your proof saying that chinese gymnasts are underaged.this is only speculation from American media but the  media report this everyday then people begin to believe they are stating the fact Chinese gymnasts are under 16. Don't you think this is very stupid.after Olympic games i bet the media will say the reason why there is a big gap from china in medal table is because they are cheating and we are stick to fair competition

Answer 3

They lose their drivers licenses.

Answer 4

yeah. and if that one girl "he" or w/e is found underage nastia will get gold on uneven bars as well.  

Answer 5

It's a possibility.

But at this point I sort of doubt they would strip the chinese medals.  Yun Yang won 2 golds in Syndey while 14 (the minimum age was 16 in the Olympic year) - she admitted to being underage.  And her medals were not stripped.  By that precedent I think that the IOC may not take back their medals.  They may be reprimanded and have stronger checks on the 2012 gymnasts.

But first they have to prove that they are without a doubt underage.

Then, I guess, we'll see.

Answer 6

To tell u the truth I think its a total crock of ****. It's not about the U.S. being jealous because we didn't get gold, look at the mens team they cherished that bronze medal with pride. It's just we aren't the only ones who see it. Russia, Australia, Japan, they ALL see it. I mean theres a difference between "hey you look 14 but your 18" because i'm only 5"1 at 19.I get it all the time, but when people really look at me they can pretty much see my true age in my face, frame, and "development". You can look at them and see they aren't 16 and at most 14. And I don't bring it up because of the medal issue. It's just this is a country who values HONOR and respect and the fact that they would do this just to look good and outshine others is amazing. Just think about all the reasons why they would do it. They are  known for "mind and body as one" so why not have the best gymnastics team. Look how they went over the top for the opening ceramonies. This is their one shot to make their mark and they don't want to s***w this up because it may never come again. All this in short there is proof that at least 3 of them ARE underaged like my buddy said how u go from 13 to 16 in the course of a year is beyond me. Maybe their on the brink of cutting edge technology for age preservation idk.  But you know let them keep that Gold so they can always look back an know they never really won it they just possess it like any other item NOTE TO CHINA : I HOPE YOU CAN LIVE WITH YOUR UTTER BULL****! YEA

Answer 7

IDK, from what I have seen on here, most people that aren't effected by this gymnasts controversy think Chinese should get to keep the medals and everyone go on their marry way, cheating or not. Why they think that is fairly obvious (hate for other countries)

I would hope, if caught, the medal gets stripped.

And yes, they are looking into forged passports, just because you have a piece of paper furnished by the Chinese doesn't mean your of age.

Answer 8

They will be disqualified at the very least and their medals, and those of their team, will be taken away and given to the next person down the line.  There is always a possibility they could also be banned from participating in further Olympics.

Answer 9

they would have to give up their medals that they won  

Answer 10

There is proof they are 14yo. There are many articles in local China papers from 2007 listing ages of at least two of the girls as being 13 so how do they go from being 13 to 16 in one year

Answer 11

I dont know...  It is the only piece of offical paper that identify your age.  there's nothing more offical than a birth certificate or passport.  so nope, there'll be no point in investigation

Answer 12

well theres no proof since they've all changed their passports and stuffs...

so nope.
