Default Chinese Cheaters

http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/summer...ory?id=3534544

As I was watching the women's team gymnastics event, I couldn't help but drive my wife insane by commenting endlessly how the Chinese team looked underage...all but about 3 of them.

According to this story, about and AP story, about a Chinese story, that has since been removed by the Chinese Gov't, I was right.

I can understand national pride and all, but cheating? [...] the Chinese

Yes - cheating is disgraceful.

And China is so well know for producing cheats. I mean look at Marion Jones, Carl Lewis, Justin Gatlin, Tim Mongomery...etc. etc.

Oh wait...sorry, they're not Chinese, are they. My mistake.

Heh! With pleasure!

Did you see the Women's 200m Butterfly Final? 2 Chinese sheilas beat world record holder Jessicah Schipper.

Looks dodgy if you ask me.

BEIJING -- This was the kind of result that used to provoke suspicion and finger-pointing immediately.

A Chinese female swimmer who was a virtual unknown until this year not only wins the Olympic gold medal in the 200 butterfly but drops her personal best by more than five seconds and the world record by 1.22 seconds.

Another Chinese woman finishes second, also breaking the world record.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/olym...record-ts.html

That still is the kind of result that provokes suspicion and finger-pointing immediately as far as I'm concerned

Those examples prove just how pathetic China has been: All those American athletes you list cheated in secrecy. In fact, Marion Jones is in jail right now for her cheating!

Meanwhile, in China, the government and a host of other Chinese conspirators have collectively orchestrated this crime and lied before the world. Surely there are better ways to try and overcome an inferiority complex.
