Many observers have charged that the gymnasts are clearly under the age minimum of 16 years old during the calendar year of the Olympics.

I watched the events where the Chinese women won the gold. They were magnificant, though it was absolutely clear that several team members were not 16.

Now, the AP has uncovered news stories in China

about several China team members suggesting that they were under the age minimum. This is not a surprise. China is obsessed with winning Olympic gold. Any news of China cheating is not a surprise.
