    With the parents growing indignant and the Beijing Games winding down, the International Olympic Committee wants to “put to rest” persistent questions about the age of China’s gold medal women’s gymnastics team.

Lou Dobbs would be demanding the borders be closed to all Chinese gymnasts under 80...
