@ehBeth,
That's what will happen. The medals will be taken back.
I just finished reading an article about this. The Chinese officials are saying that smallness is an ethnic thing.
I saw the girls competing. Shawn Johnson is small, but it can't surprise anyone that she's sixteen. A female's body changes when she reaches puberty. Some of the Chinese girls don't have waists! Their bodies have the shape of children's bodies. IMO it's not just a matter of size.
