Those impossibly flexible Chinese gymnasts who charmed the world and swept the gold medals always looked so young. Well even though the government produced passports, ournalists digging a little deeper than the International Olympic Committee have found a different story.
According to a piece published today in Huffington Post by David Flemenbaum shows clear evidence that the Chinese government and press doctored news stories and official documents to falsify the girl's ages.
Just last night the major networks were talking to experts who analyzed the girl's photos and showed how their eyes, and chin betray the age claim of them being 16. Now it is up to the IOC to investigate this and get some real answers form the Chinese, that is unless they are intimidated or already paid off.
