[quote=GUEST99124,312849]There are medical test that can prove the age of the girls in question. One such test is a lie detector test on the coach. If you think about it these children are taken from their parents and raised by the state to compete the same state that issues their pass ports. The same country that will put lead in paints that are used in toys and do not respect international laws such as human rights and patent laws. The fact that the team that was hurt the most was the US is only one reason as to why the IOC will not take any action against China. The fact is that the IOC stripped the US relay team that won the relay race with Marian Jones because Marian Jones broke IOC rules and competed using banned substances. For that reason the whole team was punished and not just Marion Jones. There was an investigation into the matter she was found guilty. The french and the international community have been after Lance Armstrong as wellwith no proof. So why is it that the IOC will not even investigate using the same scientific methods available to determine if the Chinese cheated or not? With all the controversy that this issue has caused why not get the test to settle the issue instead of having this cloud over the game? The only answer I can come to is they already know the answer and they do not want their decision to have the games in China be further proven to be a big mistake and damage the credibility of the IOC. If I was one of the women on Marion Jones team I would sue the IOC for selective inforcemnet because they were targeted and the Chinese are getting away with it.[/quote]
