Intelligent Thoughts and Other Insightful Comments

While watching Women's Olympic Gymnastics I saw the Chinese women's team. The interesting thing about this team is they sure don't look like women. Whether or not these "women" have hit puberty is rather questionable. To participate in the Olympics you must be atleast 16 years old. The Chinese team looks like they are about 12 years of age. The most senior member of the team is listed at age 20 and she is the only one who even looks remotely old enough to qualify.


If they are not old enough what does it say abou China? Well first of all, China needs stricter child labor laws. Secondly, China needs to embrace the Olympic spirit and cheat correctly. Under-aged athletes isn't really fair. What China needs to know is that real Olympic powerhouses use steriods and blood dope.

For example: the seven Russian athletes who were suspended for drug violations. Or even better would be the 11 out 14 member Greek weightlifting team that were suspended for steroid use. The entire Romanian weightlifting was suspended. Even a race walker was suspended! Personally I am not very sure how doping would help a race walker, but that doesn't really matter.

At least these athletes have embraced the Olympic motto is "Citius, Altius, Fortius" or “Faster, Higher, Stronger” not "Use, Younger, Athletes." But then again the Chinese are communists, so what can we really except from them?
