    So the Chinese team really is 12 and not just looking it?! Damn.

    You know, I once thought that if I were the best in my field it wouldn't matter, for me anyway, where I worked. I don't think that's true anymore.

    The Chinese Gymastics Federation listed their true ages previously on a website, but now their papers have been changed and the Olympic Committee has hushed it up. Things like that happen all the time, and all nations do it if they can. It's sickening. Most of the winners in gymnastics were never allowed to be their own age if you catch my drift. But the totalitarian states ar far worse in every respect. Just look into the info coming from former East Block states about their former athletic and gymnastics programs. Trained rabbits, my man.
