Are we all making a really big deal about this? So if China broke the IOC law should the Athlete in question lose her medals? Should the whole 2008 Olympics be smeared and detracted from all the good it brought? Let's not be hypocrites!

Faced with almost insurmountable evidence which suggests that He is two years younger than the birth date listed on her Chinese passport, the IOC has launched an inquiry that could result in the stripping of He's gold medals."

China is so used to rewriting the news for its own people that it forgot how to be honest on the world stage, where journalists do actual reporting.
