"My World" Report Prompts IOC Investigation
Officials fr
om the IOC have begun an investigation into China's use of underage gymnasts after a recent "My World" investigative report came to light. In the report, our investigative reporter followed one of the Chinese gymnasts with her nanny to a child care facility. The Chinese claim that all their gymnasts are of age. The IOC has decided to conduct a thorough investigation to put the matter to rest once and for all.
In initiating the investigation, the IOC requested government documents including birth certificates and passports to verify the birthdates and ages of each of the gymnasts in question. The Chinese government is expected to provide whatever government documents that are requested in a good faith effort to prove to the international world that there is no government coverup or conspiracy to use underage athletes.
