I knew that in China people don't have a choice once the state decides what you are going to be. But I was not prepared for these pics.

Judging by what happened to many of those former East German Women athletes, those Chinese athletes have a very bleak future.

It breaks my heart. I have a son who wants to run the marathon in the Olympics. He’s been running since 6th grade and we’ve been told more than once that he is gifted. I can’t even begin to think what would have happened to him in a country like China. An Olympic medal is NOT worth ruining children’s lives.

A successful Olympics needs participating countries to be humane.

China and North Korea, to name a couple, are proveably NOT humane to their citizens.

Requiring that all competitors be adults might help. But still, they could be physically manipulated as children.

Maybe say you can’t participate if your country is on the list of human right violaters.

Then again that can get political, we’d probably be on it if we don’t take away capital punishment or let men marry goats.
