Looks like China feels that the only reason their "women" are having their ages questioned if because of the close rivalry with the US. What happen to good sportsmanship in the games?

IMHO i don't think that the rivalry has anything to do with the gymnasts age being questioned.. (For a country that can falsify documents and make webpages containing incriminating information disappear China has to come up with a better excuse than that) there's no doubt that those Chinese gymnasts are amazing but at the same time if I were on the U.S. women's team if i were to get beat I would prefer for it to happen legally (with all the participants being the right age)as opposed to by a nation that would do anything to win gold..
and for the "investigation" to already be over is pretty ridiculous... i don't know what's worse the world knowing that those Chinese women didn't truly deserve the medal or the fact that the Chinese are still trying to maintain a lie that has already caught up to them
