Navtej Kohli has recently came to know about ages problem regarding the Chinese gymnasts age problem who had already win Gold medal in different games.
Many complains against Chinese gymnasts age related problem had received by International Olympics Committee who also request the gymnastics federation to further look into make sure that no such type of irregularly and discrepancies will be acceptable in future which be causes of other player moral down they feel some biasness . On date 22-Aug-2008, International Olympics committee ask to international gymnastics federation regarding the eligibility of Chinese gymnast He Kexin and other two gymnast , because complain had been received by IOC which states that they are not eligible to compete and too young to play in Olympics who wins gold in gymnast Beijing Olympics 2008 .
IOC spokeswoman Giselle Davies told to media person for this inquiry "You shouldn't regard this as a formal investigation, but we have asked the international gymnastics federation to look into a number of questions and discrepancies on these cases," also he had told "We have been working with the [Chinese] national federation to really have a full clarification on this topic. We did discuss it earlier in the Games, and we believed we had addressed the issue."
Moreover IOC had make the age limit for playing in Olympics is 16 or above. IOC further asked that if it will be find any proof regarding Age issue , then it will return back all the Gold medal . Moreover she had narrowly beat Nastia Liukin of the United States for the gold. She also has a team gold medal. Also there are much possibilities that her all team mates stripped their gold medal. The seriousness of this events came into the light when some articles on Times of London said, documents which was posted by Chinese sports agencies on internet revealing that she is not 16 . This British article was based upon Web report by a computer security expert claming that he had documents. In these documents it’s was mentioned clearly that he was born Jan. 1, 1994, though the passport China submitted for Olympic entry listed her birth date as Jan. 1, 1992.
The same question had raised by New York Times and Los Angeles times last month , which also raising issue related to ages of Chinese athletes. These news had been deleted from the websites so long. Also Chinese news agency stated previously that, Chinese sports federation official as saying that He was 13 and a 2012 Olympic prospect. He also reported that She was started her training at the Ditan Sports School in Beijing in 1997 when she was either 3 or 5 year old . "I don't know who is her mother," said Shang Chunyan, who trained He for three years at Ditan. Shang refused to talk about He's age, referring questions to officials with the Dongcheng District of Beijing, which oversees the school. Some accounts says that , Some accounts say He's mother is an employee in the psychological research unit of the elite Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Bulletin board postings list her mother's name as Yang Xiaoyan. The academy said Yang was on vacation and could not be reached for comment.

Wang Wei of the Chinese Olympic committee said the matter of athletes' ages was looked into and the athletes in question had been cleared to compete.

"Eligibility has already been investigated by authorities in the international federation," Wang said. "If the athletes hadn't been cleared, they wouldn't have participated."

U.S. officials welcomed the news of the inquiry."USA Gymnastics has always believed this issue needed to be addressed by the FIG [the international gymnastics federation] and IOC," said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. "An investigation would help bring closure to the issue and remove any cloud of speculation from this competition." In addition, documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times gave ages of 13 or 14 for gymnasts Yang Yilin and Jiang Yuyuan as recently as last fall. When the Chinese gymnastics federation turned in passports to FIG, He's age was listed as 16. On the documents, Yang and Jiang also had varying birthdays.

FIG spokesmen insisted throughout the gymnastics competition that it was not the federation's job to be investigators and that as long as a country was able to issue a valid passport for an athlete, FIG would do no further checking.

Among Chinese sports fans on the Web, there is a vigorous debate about not only the gymnasts' age but also the ethics of lying.

One writer on a popular Tianya news site accused the Western media of "making a fuss to demonize China," but most contributors expressed the desire to have the gymnasts' true age revealed.

"I hope my county will win gold medals, but the rest of the world must be convinced," wrote one contributor.
