At least He has the skill and talent to win a medal! Also i don't think Alicia Sacramone did so well, i mean sure blame the offical that she couldn't perform her BEST. Probably couldn't handle the pressure Look Nastia accepted that she did her best and she accepts she gets a silver, yeah He may be not old enough to compete but its better cheating with drugs like many of the olympic athletes from *cough cough* have.

Li Sat, 23 Aug 2008 16:02:38 +0000 http://glosslip.com/?p=4636#comment-56103 Let's get to the bottom of this. He Kexin, a minor, is being accused of being a cheater. There is technology to verify this. Humans are like trees. Trees have tree rings, humans have bones and teeth. By x-ray He Kexin's teeth and bone, her true age can be estimated. For teenagers older than 16, teeth x-ray can have accuracy as small as 3 months. For children 18 or younger, bone x-ray accuracy is up to 2 years give or take. To be more accurate, intrusive surgical cross-sectioning will do the trick. He Kexin basically robbed Nastia Luikin's gold medal. So, it should be ok for her to go through surgery to prove her case. Since gold is involved, Nastia should be happy to prove her age as well. LOL. Let’s get to the bottom of this. He Kexin, a minor, is being accused of being a cheater.

Remember, "the end justifies the means." :-( If there is truth to come out, I hope it does and that all the medals that the underagers won trickle down to whomever deserves them next in line.

And this time you suddenly trust this “state-sponsored press”? And how fake is it to have been born on Jan 1st, like, a chance of 1 out of 365 chance? Come on, you whining losers.

I have been absolutely appalled with how this blatant instance of cheating has been treated. Bela Karolyi is right when he points out how insulting this is to the rest of the world. To publish their ages in the state-sponsored press and then suddenly retract them and say these state-issued passports (some of which list birthdays at January 1st? come on. . .) are the only valid proof of age is preposterous, and I sincerely hope that the American gymnasts at some point receive the medals they earned and deserve.
