More Proof Uncovered! Chinese Women's Gymnastics Team = Cheaters
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Zportz
He Kexin surrender your uneven bars gold medal to Nastia Liukin!
There's MORE proof that the Chinese lied!
The Times of London reports that a very determined hacker has uncovered official Chinese state documents that 'prove' He Kexin is NOT 16, the age a gymnast must turn this year in order to compete in the Olymipcs.
The hacker found spreadsheets compiled by the General Administration of Sport of China. On said spreadsheets, He's date of birth is listed as January 1, 1994 – making her 14 years and 220 days old. So not 16 and not eligible to compete.
Duh!
The hacker said, "Much of the coverage regarding Kexin’s age has only mentioned ‘allegations’ of fraud, and the IOC has ignored thematter completely. I believe that these primary documents, issued by the Chinese state … rise to a level of evidence higher than ‘allegation’.”
Is the Olympic committee really going to sit back and let the Chinese get away with cheating?
Surprised that the world of gymnastics isn't more pissed off.
The cheaters are pissing on the integrity of the sport's competitions, right?
Crazy, crazy.
We hope the London 2012 committee won't turn a blind eye to gymnastics cheating!!

Re: Aeryn – I agree- I saw that fall, & the uneven scoring. But it isn't bias. The countries competing can't send a judge to the competition. That mean Russia, Romaina, China, USA, etc….. aren't allowed to judge. So, ANY COUNTRY WHERE GYMNASTICS IS CONSIDERED AN IMPORTANT SPORT IS BANNED FROM JUDGING. The judges SHOULD be former Olympic gymnists . No more that 1 from each competing country. The scoring Already drops the high score, so that would prevent bias. (if you give your athlete a perfect 10, it will be dropped!)
Re: suskiru – hey, if you send me a copy then i can get it translated!
Re: star_lite57 – that is sooo true! We could have sent Peng and mackie and who knows… maybe we would have had a team qualify.. but, its one of those things where we have to just let go and move on… but i totally agree with you
The U.S.A. is a sore loser!! If the girl didn't win the gold, nobody would have said a word about her age! But since she totally kicked butt, someone had to hack to prove that the girl is isn't 16!
THIS IS BULLSHIT!!! I can't BELEIVE what China is getting away with. Not just this, but Nastia and this child had TIED scores and the Gold medal was given to He Kexin!!!!! Since when can you go above someone when you have a TIE schore????? All the comentators were even saying that Nasita's performance was much more clean than He's. WTF???!!!!!!!
First of all Paulie I heart you. Your posts were spot on. Thank you for being intelligent and funny. Second of all, it has nothing to do with the US "whining". If Romania got second place to these bald twats I would be pissed off too. Rules are rules, the world is built on them. If someone breaks them, they are disqualified, plain & simple. If Long Duk Dong had a false start on a swim race does he still deserve a gold metal? No. Neither do these little cunts.
Re: hels – What network were these announcers from?! They are from the AMERICAN channels. Of course they are going to side with the american gymnasts. Just because you heard it on tv, it doesn't make it true. silly people.
The IOC president better give China a crappy rating like they did Atlanta for the Olympics, we couldn't help it that Eric Rudolph bombed the place but they are cheating ON PURPOSE. Pointy hatted bastards.
um, they're not more upset about bc it happens all the time! it's completely unfair, but it's nothing new.
they won't take her medal away…not a chance…
HAHA FUCKING LOSER ASS USA!!!!
YOU LOST BY SO MUCH FUCKING POINTS AND NOW YOU'RE ALL CRYING!!!!!
WHATEVER…YOU'RE NOT ELEGANT AND PRECISE AND DO HARD ROUTINES LIKE THE CHINESE…
FUCKING LOSERS!!!!!!
ps: the only thing that makes me feel better about nastia being cheated is the fact that she has other dreams and goals in life. she lives a normal life in texas and her dad drives her around in a porsche (saw that on the olympics). meanwhile, little he kexin trains constantly and sees her parents once a year.
it's sad really.
Re: ThrishTheBitch – THATS BECAUSE SHE DID A HARDER ROUTINE YOU FUCKING BITCH!!! HE KEXIN WAS BETTER!!!
Ya, they're babies, but they can perform well. Nastia had a better routine in my eyes I thought.
I am wondering about the IOC on other levels too. For instance, Constantina Tomescu, from Romania and winner of the women's marathon, pulled out of her bra something and snorted it while running the marathon. She acted as though the television cameras were not even there. It aired of course and it didn't look good considering how anal the IOC is about any type of drug usage. I want her gold medal taken away as well and given to the next racer from Ethiopia who seemingly ran the race without snorting anything taken from her running bra.
Re: pineapple express – I agree 100% with you!
that girl so does not look 16 or older
If it were you, you would still be bitching. I promise.
That wasn't done by a hacker. These were publicly available documents. Knowing how to use a search engine doesn't make you a hacker.
Why are people are jumping into conclusions?
Can you take newspaper clippings or a web page print out as proof of your age to take a road test?
It is all speculation at this point. There is no way you can prove she is not 16! People are innocent until proven guilt.
Re: Shark –
shark, you're misunderstanding the issue. at younger ages, these girls are more flexible, less nervous, and generally better gymnasts.
the gymnastics federation put in the rules to try to avoid exploitation of young girls. it's only created cheating by countries like china.
there are MANY US gymnasts younger than 16 that could have made the team. but, due to rules, they have to hold out for london
Re: krazihottkelli/bitchygrl – typ normal you freak, it doesnt make you look cute..
Dude if this girl were two years older she probably still would have won gold anyway. Shouldn't ability matter more than age anyway? There have been many exceptions in the past.
WHY SOOOO BITTER…the chinese gymnasts are better than the americans with slight exception to nastia luikin who has russian blood ……
omg … u americans r sore losers .. she could be 8 or 10, or 14 or 25 SHE WON…. SHES BETTER .. THE CHINESE GYMNASTS R BETTER THEN EVERYONE!
its not her fault .. she rocked all the routines she did! … i go for china .. the better gymnast won! .. SUCK IT UP!
Re: perez-24/7 – The 2000 women's all-around gold medalist had her gold medal stripped because she took cold medicine that her doctor had recommended, apparently one ingredient in the cold medicine was a banned substance. By 2004, the same substance was no longer banned, but she didn't get her medal back. If someone can get a medal taken away for THAT, then the Chinese had better be fucking punished for putting underaged gymnasts in Olympic competition
Make an example of China.
Haven't this happened before, but during the pair's skating from the winter games?
Except then, everything was fixed.
This is somewhat like that.
In other words, don't get your panties in a bunch about this, let it go already.
SOMEONE PROBALLY KNOCKED OVER THE ONLY RACK OF BEADS
THEY HAD OWNED AND THEY LOST TRACK OF EVERYTHING.
JUST LIKE WHEN ONE OF OUR COMPUTER CRASHES.
it's quite obvious that some of you don't understand.
BECAUSE of He's age, she's much smaller than Nastia and the other athletes, and is able to pull of more stunts than they can because of size. By the time she's actually able to compete, she won't be able to do any of the things she did at Beijing. She's an excellent athlete, but she's still underage, and that-despite what most of you think- is an advantage.
once again the chinese girl beat the american and shes 5 years younger thats a good accomplishment if you ask me…so young and inexperienced and they win it all i think the girl should keep her medal
Re: Andy27 – So you're saying that every other Chinese athlete in every other sport should also be banned in the Olympics in 2012? That's ridiculous. Punish those who deserved it.
i really feel that it doesn't make a difference that they're not 16. you can't put an age limit on your dream, and it shows that china work as hard or harder than the usa did to do their best. and as it shows china worked hard for this and did their best. yeah, the rules says you must be 16 to compete but thats not how it is for other gymnastics competitions, in other competitions you can be any age and be in any level you achieve. it just shows that even though those girls were underage they worked hard for what they wanted, and got what they deserved.
Omg china is soo stupid, they did nothing but lie && cheat the whole way through.
This might throw a wrench in some people China hating. But in a lot of Asian countries when you are born you are one year old. So the girl would be pretty close to being 16. You might argue that the rest of the world starts at zero, but just as how Americans believe everyone believes as they do Asians believe similarly.
oh my gosh.
get over it.
the USA lost.
if anything, its even more impressive that he kexing won because she is younger.
its an amazing effort.
the rules are put in place to prevent more flexible, younger gymnasts from competing. if they test her flexibility against 16-year olds and its no better then there is no reason why she cant keep her medals.
also, it was only one document, found by a random hacker, at ONE source.
not very credible.
shut up and stop bitching.
this is why the world thinks americans are bigots
although not all of you are.
Re: Helen of Troy – BITCH FUCK YOU
PLEASE Don't blame the kid though! If she doesn't go along with it they'll kill her family.
Re: Beezle – NO BITCH YOU'RE THE IDIOT, JUST LIKE THESE IGNORANT RACIST ASSHOLES
Re: bella-bella –
"People are innocent until proven guilty"
Not in China!!!!!
This is much, much bigger than He Kexin. This is the Chinese government.
Re: spicygrrl93 –
i think you really need to go see an optomestrist, because obviously, nastia's routines were 10 times better than any of those chinese gymnasts' routines.
china did not deserve that gold, no matter what anyone says. america should NOT stop "bitching over it" if that's what you call it, which it's not, it's just making sure there's at least some little bit of justice left in the olympics.
This is just so sad.
These olympic people are always going on about being fair and competing on even terms. It sucks that it has to be fair for some and not for others. EVERYONE should play by the rules. If you need to cheat, youre just not good enough. And your gold metal should forever be tainted because you didnt get it fairly. I dont care what nationality cheats. CHEATERS ARE CHEATERS. And no more blind eyes should be turned. If the're trying to ge more people into watching the olympics they are going about it the wrong way.
Re: Andy27 –
"They need to ban the Chinese from participating in 2012's Olympics."
this just shows how shallow you are. US atheletes have been using steroids in the past olympic games. did anyone say the americans should be banned from the olympics?
used*
Re: angelahouwen – WOW you obviously don't get it. There would be no complaints if the Chinese didn't CHEAT. THEY are the obvious sore losers. They would do anything to win. ANYTHING. Do you see Nastia Liukin complaining about the fact that she didn't get gold in uneven even though she deserved it? Do you see Alicia Sacramone publicly whining about how she was CHEATED out of a much deserved medal?? Cheng Fei fell on the second vault and had many more mistakes than Alicia ever did, for Pete's sake! There is also something obviously wrong with the judging. They should fix that. BTW, no, they did NOT take the silver away, WTF are you talking about? Learn how to spell and use correct grammar when trying to make an argument; you're making a fool of yourself.
Re: xXTOMXx – Well you're just a fucking idiot, aren't you? She DIDN'T kick butt, first of all, she had more mistakes than Nastia did. If you actually knew/took gymnastics, you would know that. Second, it's suspicious enough that they put He's birthday as January 1st, 1992. Most gymnasts were already way past 16 years old, and LOOKED like it too, so no need to investigate. Shawn Johnson and Bridget Sloan have LEGAL documentations and witnesses. I'm sure that if you go and hack around that you will find that they are both, indeed, 16. The Chinese should be ashamed of themselves, punished, and disqualified. Many people knew of this and didn't say a word. It shows that they are sore losers and would stop at nothing to win and make themselves look better. They've given a bad name to artistic gymnastics and the Olympics.
well if 12 y.o is beating us then i guess we need to work harder and stop being sore losers…we lose the baton its voodoo or magic marker i'm tired of this crap they have four years to train and come back better stop complaining .
Re: lshoot – as if this whole controversy is based on a small misunderstanding like that! the olympics are an international sport and you follow by international time. what you're saying has nothing to do with the whole controversy at all. i don't know why it took the IOC so long to investigate this. i'm no expert but even i noticed that those chinese girls still had their baby teeth. some looked like it had only been a few years since their adult teeth came in. it's ridiculous.
Ya ok they shouldn't have lied, but the rules should be different, I mean if a 14 yr old girl can BEAT an older girl and achieve a gold metal. that is freaking amazing. I think that if a person demonstrates that they are an outstanding athlete then they should be able to compete in the olympics despite their age. If anything, shouldn't it be an even greater achievement for China, considering that the girl was younger. I think the american's are being a sore loser too.
