If the IOC found no proof then what's the point of beating a dead horse.
The investigation is less than a week old. It takes several months to investigate such a thing properly.
Do you have more inside knowledge than the IOC?
I have the words of the IOC president in his interview with Bob Costas. He said very plainly that the Gymnastics federation will do the investigation.
why do you believe the story that somebody hacked into the computer system and found their Id's.
I haven't said anything either way about it. I'm not saying the gymnasts are definitely guilty -- I'm saying that a thorough investigation is warranted. If a thorough investigation reveals that their true ages are 16 or over, then there's no problem.
What I don't want to see is either 1) a team blatantly cheating and getting away with it, or 2) a Mickey Mouse investigation done purely to pretend something is being done.
You believe a hacker found their Id's because you want to believe that the Chinese cheated.
I'll thank you not to put words in my mouth. I want to believe that cheaters get their just deserts. If the Chinese team did not cheat, then I see no problem and congratulations to them. If they did cheat, then they deserve their medals stripped. Regardless, the athletic community at large deserves to know that a thorough, unbiased investigation was performed and revealed the facts of the case, whatever those end up being.
I would say the same thing if the gymnasts in question were American.
