China has Bronze Medal stripped from Sydney games because of underage athlete.
http://msn.foxsports.com/olympics/st...3166?Gt1=39002
China was stripped of a bronze medal from the 2000 Sydney Olympics on Wednesday for fielding an underage gymnast, with that women's team medal now going to the United States.
The International Olympic Committee acted after investigations by the sport's governing body determined that Dong Fangxiao was only 14 at the 2000 Games. Gymnasts must turn 16 during the Olympic year to be eligible.
Dong's results from Sydney were nullified in February by the International Gymnastics Federation. Because her scores contributed to China winning the team bronze, the FIG recommended the IOC take the medal back.
As expected, the IOC executive board upheld the request and formally stripped the medal on the first day of a two-day meeting in Dubai.
The U.S. women, who had been fourth, move up to the bronze. American team member Dominique Dawes said "justice prevailed."

IOC itself is corrupted. Just look at the debacle and their reasoning why baseball was canned from the games and added a game like golf. IOC said baseball had no time limit and the games took forever to complete...well, golf has 18 holes and can take days. IOC just hates America.
okay, ranting off the baseball tip but damn, China wants to win medals at any costs. I understand that winning a medal in China will set the Olympians up for life financially. I, like the rest of the posters in this thread blame the parents 100%
