Wasn’t the big stink during the Olympics that the Chinese gymnast were TOO YOUNG? Why would being too old cause any issues?

Why would being too old cause any issues?

If he's 17 years old playing in the 10 year old basketball league. The Chinese Department of Sports think they've found the next Yao Ming instead of just an older kid with a fake birth certificate and move him and his parents to a nice apartment in Beijing to train for the olympics.

Being young isn't always an advantage in sports.
Imagine an 18 year old wrestling a 12 year old. Get the picture?
