highly doubtful. IOC has no interest in investigating this. The passports and papers were in order.

So, why is there an age limit? Are younger gymnasts really that much better than older ones? Why? Seems that youth could also have its dissadvantages.

I am guessing it is an issue of exploitation.

Not so fast. Check out this article:
http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,700253158,00.html Looks to me like the IOC is not really doing an "investigation". They are just hoping to sweep this under the rug as quickly as possible. Relying completely on the Chinese to simply provide more documentation. How difficult would that be?

Utahdan is very naive. put he puts on this bad-ass act, so it's actually kind of refreshing to see him be the naive idealist once in a while.

Am I a bad person for feeling happy that the Chinese might lose their gold medals?

Agreed. It's the host nation. And the Chinese are just spiteful enough that we could see the slaughter of thousands of Tibetans if the Chinese lost gold medals.
