They better enjoy it while it lasts, because after new documents have been uncovered helping to prove that at least two of the girls on the Chinese womens gymnastics team were participating at the age of 14, the International Olympic Committee has spoken up and called for an investigation.
Apparently a British hacker uncovered some more documents that further prove that gold medalist He Kexin, and Yang Yilin were both born in 1994, making them 14 years of age at this years competition.
The International Olympic Committee, who originally dismissed the “allegations” when they were first brought up prior to the competition, have now reached out to the International Gymnastics Federation and asked them to investigate.
Philippe Filacci, Head of Media Operations for the International Gymnastics Federation, who is currently in Beijing at the games, confirmed to a Chinese American newspaper that he was aware of the new evidence. “We are investigating it,” he said told them in a phone interview.
China should just admit to their wrong doings before it goes any further and nobody trusts them heading into the 2012 London Games.
For America, this could mean gold for the team final, a gold for Nastia Liukin on the uneven bars.
