Doesn't matter if its common or not...Its still cheating. And yes there is no way in hell that all those girls were at least 16.. Rules are Rules.. IF it is proved that they were in fact under the age of 16 at the very least their Gold medals should be forfitted to the Unites States. Furthermore like it was mentioned above, since it is suspiciously cheating on a MACRO level (backed and perhaps forced by the Chinese gov't. Which doesnt surprise me at all) China should be disqualified from all events period. But seeing as how they are the host country.. That is highly unlikely given the IOC and all....
