The following question was presented:
With the Olympics drawing to an end, we acknowledge that the games have been fantastic. The Chinese have done themselves proud in creating excellent stadiums to host the events. As Mr. O pointed out in a recent blog, there have been some sensational performances (Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt to name but two). But, rather than ask something inane on whether or not you enjoyed the games, I feel it's time to jump on the bandwagon and ask a similarly inane question regarding one of the controversies to see if you think the Chinese have been dirty rotten cheaters. The question - what do you think the average age of the Chinese Women's Gymnastics team is?

Analysis:
A unanimous decision from the EBR voting members that people think the Chinese fielded an under age women's gymnastics team. I guess we'll have to leave it to the officials to do whatever investigations they think they need to. I doubt they'll come looking to this site for official verification - not that we could give it one way or another.
Apparently Gary Glitter's planning his next vacation over there. Can't be illegal if their passport says that's their age.
