Hackers have delved into the Chinese cyber records to uncover reported proof of Chinese cheating at the Olympics, regarding an under-age gymnast.
He Kexin had more the look of a tn year old, but was shown to be sixteen on her Chinese passport, which the International Olympic Committee accepted as "proof" of her age.
The search for proof of He's age was made by a person called

Those spreadsheets had been compiled by the Chinese, General Administration of Sport.
As reported in the
Times Online, Stryde worked through Google first, to find the listings for He had been removed by the Chinese Sports administration, and the same for the Google cache, it wasn't until he got into the Chinese search engine Baidu that he found information leading him to believe the athlete is still at this time only 15 years old.
