Yesterday the news broke that—unsurprisingly—China had used an underage gymnast in the 2000 Olympics and had been ordered by the IOC to return its bronze team medals post haste. I had to think when the story broke that China might be a bit reluctant to do so.

Today, it turns out I was right.

I've got to think that ultimately the IOC will be forced to craft other medals to give to the US sextet, as there'll be no way it'll get any compliance from China.
