There needs to be a third party responsible for all of these matters right from the start.

A system with no checks and balances is doomed to foster corruption.

Chances are, if an agency is responsible for initiating an inquest into it's own incompetence then, magically, that agency will probably be vindicated in the end.

2) The documents provided by the Chinese government sez she is 16
3) Her passport states she is 16

You bitches are kidding yourselves if you thought a couple of fucking cached websites would have been sufficient evidence to strip the medals.

China has shown multiple pieces of official documents stating that she's 16, she herself states she's sixteen, her parents state she's sixteen.

There's no way the accusations about her age would stand up in the eyes of an impartial jury.

Now, with that said, I think it's definitely possible for China to have pulled this shit off by faking all the various official documents and so on, but what I personally believe doesn't mean anything (I don't think man landed on the moon but certainly don't have very good evidence to prove it).

Doping is different than simply being a certain age. The age limit was put in place as a SAFETY measure. It had nothing to do with not allowing athletes to compete in their prime, which is totally stupid and counter productive.

Maybe it's just that they're not high profile events, but I don't get the impression that the competition in those events (at least from America) is all that fierce.

A country's (China's) domination of diving is different in that the overall diving superiority of their athletes is based on a national focus on the event, not the natural ability of a select individual. It say's that the event is important to them. Not really the same with Greg.

Ever heard of rugby? It's a little like American football except that it goes for 80 minutes, has a much quicker pace and the participants don't wear anywhere near as much padding.

It's okay though, Princess. Maybe your mother can bake you some apple pie while real men play real sports.

Lets see you not wear padding when a 320 pound nigger is body slamming you.

It's nothing like American football outside of carrying a ball.

Oh, bullshit. The worst I've personally seen when I was playing rugby was a shattered collarbone.

Deaths in the sport are rare. The excess padding is just there because you're pussies.

LOL. Right rugby. Where the athletes are half the size of football players and where the entire game is based on laterals. Yea, fucking hardcore.

American Football is different than rugby. If I'm not mistaken, there are rules that prevent players from hitting anyone above the waist. There are no such rules in Football.

Not to mention that football is played at much faster speeds than rugby.

Rugby is more about chase where as football is more about stop. The hits are way harder when your running right into a man than when you're running after him most of the time.

Average size of a Rugby player: 5'10 165 pounds
Average size of a NFL player: 6'2 250 pounds

This isn't even a comparison, it's like men against boys.

Train some fast athletic Wide receivers/runningbacks to play Rugby, pads or no pads they'd demolish any Eurofag Rugby team simply by being faster and stronger.

The chase only happens if they manage to break through the opposing line. The two teams are running towards each other and are being hit head on.

Srsly. Go watch a match.

Both Rugby and American Football are pretty hardcore and brutal. Serious injuries have occured in each. Beyond that it's pointless to compare them.

No, it's pretty much a lost cause.

Also, I lol'd at FIG's new rule for age verification starting next year. Now, gymnasts will need a FIG issued passport, which itself will be given away if you can provide the docs needed NOW. Basically, it tries to solve the problem of countries complaining about age falsification, but it doesn't stop athletes from falsifying their ages.

Just speaking from the sidelines here, you know Americans? I think it might be better if you actually let them have their medals ill gotten or not. I mean there's nothing worse than having the IOC revoking all of China's six medals and America STILL loses to China at the end of the games in terms of gold medals. That would be kinda sad.
>> Greed is Good Amerikkka

We need to steal a bone from her body, fossilize it and then carbon date. If we can prove she`s underage, we wait till she travels to a U.S. friendly country. We have her little sorry ass arrested and extradited to the U.S. We then make a deal with China, give us our medal and you get your little girl back. If not, she`ll spend the rest of her days in Guantanamo.
In future to stop this from happening again. We flood every Olympic event so we can win 99.9% of all medals. Those other countries who win the .1% of medals will be pursued in court until they hand their medals to the deserving U.S. athletes.

If you honestly think those girls are over 16, I have a bridge to sell you. It's called the Brooklyn Bridge.

And you'd probably buy it, seeing as how your sole resource for the obvious cheating on China's side is "HURR UR JUST JEALOUS U DUM AMERKUNS", despite the fact that pretty much everyone, regardless of nationality, realizes that they're underage, and that no American cares about any of the other events they lost to the Chinese (like, for example, Men's Gymnastics).

Not too bright, OP.

Nope, you have no proof that China has hegemonic tendencies. China does not invade other countries and quite frankly, has no desire to. It's only brutal against separatist states like Taiwan.
