It's Communism man! Hasn't this always been their way?

Seems to be that way. But as a member of a "fringe political group" (inside jab), I feel I must protest the human rights side of this controversy. It may have been that way for ages, but it doesn't have to continue (although, I'm sure it will).

There is no human rights for Communists. Never has been, never will be. Hence why we've been fighting it since WWII.

:p On the Olympics anyway! My opinion is that gymnastics shouldn't even be in the olympics. That goes for any so-called sport that requires judges to say who's best. Either you win or you lose. :p

Now to the real interesting part of Olympics: genetic doping.

I would be happy if they put the minimum age for participating in the olympics at 18.
Children should not be competing at this level.

Why?

A smaller frame of a child has many advantages over an adult frame in this sport.

It also has its disadvantages.

In my opinion, I'd take the article with a grain of salt for now. Perhaps a more...official investigation would be in order.
