Officials from the International Gymnastics Federation have ruled that China's gold medal gymnasts were old enough to compete in the Beijing Olympics but two members from the Chinese squad that competed in the 2000 Sydney Olympics — Dong Fangxiao and Yang Yun — remain under scrutiny.

According to the NY Times the IOC team has asked the international gymnastic group F.I.G. to investigate the ages of the controversial Chinese women's team. "According to online sports registration lists in China, half the team — He Kexin, Yang Yilin, Jiang Yuyuan — would be under age." As many as six medals won by the 'women's' team hang in the balance.
