From the AP: International gymnastics officials aren’t the only ones who want more information on two members of China’s 2000 Olympic team.

The Chinese Gymnastics Association is doing its own investigation into the ages of Dong Fangxiao and Yang Yun, spokeswoman Zhou Qiurui said Tuesday. New information suggests the two could have been as young as 14 at the Sydney Olympics, where China won the bronze medal.

Gymnasts have to be 16 during the Olympic year to compete.

Zhou declined further comment and referred questions to another member of the association, who was not available. But, Zhou added, the association relies on local authorities for information about its athletes.

As you prepare for your first Redactular-less night since Sunday, think about this: who else should we be examining for possible impropriety?
