Small rant about the Olympics

Does anyone feel peeved at what seems to be a likely case of fraud being perpetrated by the Chinese gymnastics team on the Olympic Games? I'd love to see a show of hands - how many people feel that the members of the Chinese gymnastics team all meet the International Olympic Committee's minimum age requirement of 16? I, personally, do not, and feel that the Chinese government is brazenly flaunting the inability of the IOC to do any real investigation into press reports of team members only being 13 or 14 years old. After all, they are hosting the Olympics, and also have absolute control over shutting down "errant" reporting, let alone access to verifiable birth records, etc.
