It's tragic, but even the Chinese girls that are "plucked" from their homes to be gymnasts end up with a better existance than a lot of the girls over there.
Just heard a Korean guy forfeited two medals because he failed the doping test....the medals were in pistol competitions!!!!?

?!!!!! Somebody explain that to me?
On a positive note, I'll be sleepy at work today but it was worth it staying up to watch our two US gymnasts receive the Gold and Silver. USA baby!!!!!

GO USA! I watched that too, til after 1am and it was a nail biter!
And sadly that's true about the Chinese girls. I remember watching a program about orphanges FILLED with girls (and they were ancient and horrific orphanges too) because with the one baby law, girls were given away to these places or worse yet, killed because boys were desired in order to carry on the family name. God, it was sickening.
As for the pistol shooters needing drugs?? WTH?? Makes no sense to me. Is it gonna make you shoot straighter?
