Chinese gymnasts were 'old enough'

When one calls another a baby they run the risk of being the bigger whiner.

Considering nothing in that article gives clear evidence that they were of age other than "because we said so" I find it sad that you'd take someone's word for it over actually documentation of fact.

Why so soft now?

They were tasks with finding the truth. An international commission, members from many countries as a means to extinguish bias.

They did their job to investigate your accusations and returned with their verdict and yet you still complain.

And for the record proof was provided but you claimed it was fake.

Do you need a fucking time machine and a video camera to capture these little girls escaping the womb?

There is no way you'd be like this if they were american and I think you know that.

And for the record, "When one calls another a baby they run the risk of being the bigger whiner". Is one of the lamest retorts I have seen in a while.

Lameness doesn't dictate truth...so you can think it's lame all you want until your heart is content.

I didn't state they were not telling the truth. I stated that they need to show what they used as proof.

You taking their word for it is a little bit on the gullible side and surely you're not that...well to use your word...lame.

As for nationality that seems to only matter to you, for it matters not to me.

I know I am feeding the troll here but really dude, what is the issue?

An international panel was comprised to get to the bottom of the issue and has deemed that all the documents check out and no wrong doing has been done.

And you still cannot accept it?

The facts are in. The professionals tasked with finding the truth have done their job. They found the truth. The girls are the correct age.

They provided the proof when first asked.

That proof has been legitimized.

Time to move on.

That said, if they did lie I'd hope they'd get caught. And as well, I'll accept the possibility that the IOC is corrupt.

Dude, you are simple if you believe the Chinese govenment regarding those litte girls' ages! The investigating committee backed off because nobody wants to offend China by calling them the liars that they are! I'll bet you are also a Democrat (right?) Simple Simon! Geesh!

Why would they ever even have fake passports if they were of age? I could care less about the results, these young girls were exploited.

No it's not.

The reason the age was raised and that this is a problem is because the younger the female the more limber the female not the more talented the female. Meaning that they can do more difficulty with more easy than those that are older.

Also if America and other countries had the same aged females on their team China would not have done so spectacular...for the ground would be even and you would have seen a much closer battle.
