The question that is most often asked is why did China cheat? China cheated in the 2008 Women’s Gymnastics by sending girls well under the age of 16 to compete in Olympic gymnastics, but why? What did China and their gymnastics team gain by cheating and lying to the remaining Olympic teams?
This article presents the [...]

We have reported for days that China is cheating in these Olympics. Our articles have challenged the International Olympics Committee for their apparent inability to enforce their own rules.
