AP Report: Chinese Gymnast 13

by ESPN 1660 Staff

It’s an Olympic controversy that is picking up a lot of steam after an Associated Press story this morning.

The Chinese Women’s gymnastics team had a few members that appeared to be slightly under the 16-year-old age limit to compete according to International Olympic Committee regulations.

The AP did some digging and found a state run media website that listed one of the Gymnasts ages at 13…instead of 16 claimed by the Government bitch certificate bearing her name. The website was immediately taken down after the report went live.
