China 2008 The Olympics of Fraud?

While the 2008 olympics should primary be remembered for athletes such as Phelps and his record breaking swimming feats, it is also turning out to be the Olympics of fraud.

China seems so intent on making the Olympics memorable, morals have been thrown out the window.

The two instances at the opening ceremonies are not really that big of a deal though ask Milli Vanilli what people think of fake lip sync.  The substitute singer has milli vanilli written all over it.

The fake fireworks are almost laughable that they would care enough to go to that effort.

What about gymnastics though.  To cheat by putting underage girls into the competition and covering it up at a government level speaks volumes about China’s willingness to cheat.  I think most (Chinese government excluded) feel like the Chinese should lose their gold in gymanstics.  It stands to reason that if they had gymnasts 16 or over that could have won the gold, they would have had to enter underage girls.

It will be interesting to see what else they defraud us with over the next few days.  Hopefully this is the end of the cheating.
