Give me a break. If those baby girl gymnasts do not get officially busted for China's international fraud and cynical deceit (there were many Chinese tricks, but this is the biggie), then other gymnsasts will have been cheated out of their rightfully earned medals. We've learned a lot about China during these games, and it's mostly quite unpleasant. They will scratch, bite and claw their way to the top every chance they get. The governing board of the IOC needs to ditch their spineless performance so far and take action. Fair play in the Chinese Games? Give me a break.
