Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud

SkeptOlympics writes "A new chapter in the ongoing controversy surrounding China's women's gymnastics team opened today, as search engine hacker stryde.hax found surviving copies of official registration documents issued by China's General Administration of Sport of China. The incriminating documents, expunged by censors from the official site and from Google's document cache, still appear in the document translation cache of Chinese search giant Baidu, here (1) and here (2), showing the age of one of China's gold medal winning gymnasts to be 14 instead of 16, the minimum age for competition presented on her government-issued passport. Now that official government documentation is available, how long will the IOC be able to keep a lid on this scandal?" I imagine the answer is "Forever."

    convinces me there is a god up there and he was looking after me for I was not born in China.

    So, following your logic, the god up there wasn't looking after those born in China. Does this mean he doesn't care about them in the same way as he cares about you? What exactly did you do to deserve this preferential treatment? How did you manage to do this prior to even being born?

    Yes, I am being melodramatic

    Just a tad.
