In 2000. They have struck all her results from the 2000 Sydney games by the International Gymnastics Federation. Results of their investigation will be forwarded to the IOC who will decide whether to strip China's bronze medal.
The United States finished 4th in 2000.
At this rate we can expect rulings on the 2008 team by around 2018

Gosh, you just have to believe the Chinese cleaned up their act in 2004 and 2008 right?
Right.

Right.
She is 18. You know it, and I know it. And it doesn't matter anyways...It is about the competition anyways, not the age.

If she's 18 then I'm a wolf in Montana.

I wish I had seen this thread before I just posted in the winter olympics thread.
This is great news. The IOC needs to clamp down on this Chinese BS. If you'll recall, in 2008, it was brought to IOC's attention that the Chinese government had attempted to erase websites from previous years that showed their 2008 women gymnasts as underage. IOC started a dog and pony investigation and closed it a day or two later. I suppose it went something like this:
IOC: Hell, China?
Chinese Gov Official: Yes.
IOC: Are your gymnasts 18?
Chinese Gov Official: Of course.
IOC: K bye

Ralphie responds
"Like the USA, Dawes was underage in Barcelona."
Of course back then in 1992 the age limit was 15. It wasnt raised to 16 until 1997.

Dude gets caught with his pants down in an argument more than anybody I've ever seen on the boards.
I mean hell I didn't know that but if I was trying to argue his point that is something that I probably would have checked.

Looks like something you might find wrapped in foil in New Mexico somewhere.

Since it was deleted on AGS.

What a jackass. She was of proper age to compete, which was the topic of discussion. Who cares if she was underage for other stuff, she wasn't drinking, voting or driving, she was
gymnasticking
.
I think I just made that word up, but I like it so I'm gonna use it.
Ralph, feel free to delete tihs post after you read it. Oh wait, you can't.
