Chinese Age Faking Runs Rampant

Three thousand chinese athletes have been found to have faked their age out of a test of thirteen thousand. One of the athletes was found to be seven years older than stated while most are one to two years older. This test raises even more questions about the chinese gymnast squad in the Beijing games. One of the reasons age faking is such a problem is because families see this a way to get out of poverty. But the integrity of the sport needs to be maintained despite whatever families sad story.
