Return to Story IndexOLYMPICS WRAP UP
HERE'S MORE ON THE FROM BEIJING SCRIPT: It was a homecoming fit for a champion. As gold medalist Nastia Liukin returned to the states greeted by hundreds of fans at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport. While back here in Beijing -- there are new questions this morning about the Chinese gymnasts Liukin-- and the other Americans competed against. Another blogger has unearthed records that dispute the age of He Kexin, China's gold medalist on the uneven bar, and part of the team that won the gold against the U-S. The records found say she was born in 1994, NOT 1992, making her 14. But China has again pointed to her passport indicating she's 16. Just this morning the U-S Olympic committee sent a letter asking the International Olympic committee asking for a thorough investigation: "Muir: There is still a real frustration in the states that we don't have an answer to this question. Scherr: I understand that frustration. Both for the players in question, but for the US athletes who are just bystanders in this." China's coach, meanwhile, says his gymnasts have faced "groundless suspicion ." So IOC says maintains there is still NO proof anyone cheated. "It's a real turning point for the IOC-- are they REALLY going to look? Because if they do, they're going to find what bloggers and reporters have already found.. that the Chinese cheated."
