i dont care that they won, but they did break the rules. and that should mean something.

Didn't think so.
First off, being underage IS an advantage because of the smaller frame. It's fucking common knowledge and doesn't require thinking to know that being smaller and being younger/more versatile gives a large advantage over someone who's 20. Therefore, having a 14 year old who hasn't even hit puberty compete against (I think) 20 year old girl like Alicia Sacramone is NOT FAIR. And it's in general just BREAKING THE RULES.
And please, if you don't think the judges are biased towards China, you haven't been watching whatsoever.
And it's not just the US's athletes who have been fucked over because of He Kexin or whatever her name is. There's other athletes who could have had a chance and who are LEGALLY ELIGIBLE to compete who could have gotten the medal instead of the chinese. For example, that Romanian girl.Holy fucking /facedesk.Jenspm wrote:

under 16
Her 2008 passport and the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG) list her date of birth as January 1, 1992, which would make her 16 years, 220 days old during the 2008 Olympic opening ceremonies and therefore old enough to compete.

I don't know that much either, but it IS true. And it's pretty common sense to think that, no offense or anything.Jenspm wrote:
oh, just read this from Poseidon:
"First off, being underage IS an advantage because of the smaller frame."
I dunno anything about gymnastics, but if this is true, I shall take back muh statements.
And you have any proof of this?Sgt.Davi wrote:
Yes her doctored passport does make her elegble to compete...

usm and my "bullshit" is also backed by MOUNTING EVIDENCE. If they simply were smaller in stature and were simply BETTER like Shawn Johnson is, it wouldn't be a problem. But there are MULTIPLE pieces of evidence leading me to believe that she's underage. She's won two golds which could have gone to ANY (regardless of being from the USA or not) athlete that was better than her and legal.jord wrote:

It's nothing to do with UK guys at all, not that you could slap anyone of us. There's like what? 3 UK guys max calling you up on your bullshit? And a Slovenian. It's timezones, or the fact that there's a lot of people from the UK here as opposed to other countries.
Anyway I'm losing care as we speak. China win, the games will finish and within 2 weeks it will all be forgotten. Like Tibet will be.

Also GTFO fuck britain posts, not all of us have our judgments clouded because its the USA who want their Gold....
Seriously, athletes are banned for doping which is against the rules, but according to some of you its okay to enter an underage athelete in a contest where a strict age limit is in place because they beat the USA...thats fucking stupid, get a clue some of you.

If "Shawn Johnson" is better, why didn't she win gold, inb4 your conspiracy theory of the PRC bribed judges.Poseidon wrote:

You're confusing my post with someone elses. I was talking about how you are twisting it and turning it (Much like your news channels do) so that it looks like the USA is coming out on top.Poseidon wrote:
