This is why I don't watch the Olympics

In case you missed it, a hacker exposed offical chinese documents showing 3 gymnasts being underage. Finally the IOC was forced to investigate.. In theory. A couple hours later they claim the investigation is over and the 3 are indeed the proper age :roll:

Perhaps the birth date of one gymnast could be confused one time, but half the team on multiple occasions? Considering 2000 Chinese bronze medalist Yang Yun later admitted on state television she was 14 that year, the IOC or FIG should have been all over this.

Instead, they did nothing until the USOC requested action. Then they just brushed it aside.

Having younger, and presumably smaller and more nimble athletes, can be a significant advantage in some gymnastics disciplines. Romania’s Nadia Comaneci scored seven perfect 10s in the 1976 Games when she was just 14, before FIG set the age limit.
