Olympics gymnastics corruption...

[tornado]

This has been a topic before -- how the world's governing body has been slow to root out corruption in international gymnastics competitions...

But here's more news...

A Chinese gymnastics judge is found guilty of FRAUD for falsifying scores...to help the Chinese team (the home team) win --
Obviously this guy should be banned from ever officiating anywhere in the world -- right??

BUT -- instead of banning the cheater -- they simply "downgraded his status" but did not ban him - so he is free to continue to work future events -- possibly even having his status reinstated down the road...
This is why they will never convince me they are serious about getting the judging fair...

Somehow, before I even clicked on the thread, I knew this was going to involve the Chinese.
