Country sanctioned cheating is a HUGE problem that goes well beyond one person making a very questionable mistake. It completely undermines the entire purpose of the olympics and the rules that are set by the IOC.

Especially when it's happening in the host country.

- My vote, if China is caught cheating and someone comes forward with proof, I think CHINA should be disqualified from the Olympics on a mass scale as punishment for state sanctioned cheating.
Well that logic, why is the US not banned for all the athletes that have admitted doping to win?
