One more before bed


Looks like the IOC is finally tired of being embarrassed about the age questions swirling around Olympic female gymnast and gold medalist He Kexin. I am sure China could care less that they got caught red handed forging the passport of at least one gymnast.

Right now I view the IOC as analogous to the dc press corp. They live in their own little happy bubble and don't really know what life is like outside unless and event pops it. And they only deal with the event begrudgingly and then only to get it behind them so that they can pretend it never happened tomorrow.

I am sure I will have more on this tomorrow.
