Chinese Gymnasts Turn out to be of Age

The Federation of International Gymnasts has ended their investigation into the age of Chinese gymnasts in this year's summer Olympics. As it turns out, they were provided with documentation proving the gymnasts were old enough to compete in the Olympic Games. The gymnasts, who looked no older than 10 years old, will be allowed to keep their medals while the Chinese government says that the age controversy was due to errors in paperwork.

It seems to me as though the real error here was that the Chinese government somehow lost control of the real age documents and were then not able to cover it up quickly enough. In any event, 10-years-old, 12-years-old, or 16-years-old, the Chinese gymnasts will keep their medals as the matter has been deemed officially closed. Conspirators can only speculate from here.
