Yao Ming 40 and Gymnast He Kexin 13???

Found August 14, 2008 on InGameNow:
PLAYERS: Yao Ming

I know a freakin 12 year old when I see one, there is absolutely no way in hell that Kexin is 16 years old. On TV the girl looks like she is 8 years old, especially now that it is reported China's official Xinhua news agency nine months ago listed gymnast Kexin as being 13 years old. However, she told reporters on Wednesday that her real age is 16, someone is either retarded or they are LYING. My Personal vote is no older than 11, unless they Chinese have been giving her hormones to slow growth. I have no idea, but I can say someone is lying and there is way to much speculation here. Let's not forget Yao Ming, who does not know is real age??? Weird huh??Well it was reported yesterday that yao quite possibly could be nearing age 40???True, who knows?

  • I'll take the under on He Kexin at 11 and we may find out eventually that Yao Ming is as old as the Sequoias

  • Yao isn't as old as DIKEMBE and it's irrevelent cuz they don't have a CAP in the age of basketball players .... BUT I swear to GOD, that gymnast is PUSHING 12 on a GOOD DAY. I said it on my radio program the other night and I'll say it again: We may never gonna know the truth because nobody is going to investigate the host country in the MIDDLE OF THE GAMES for violations. Years from now it may come out but they'll probably free Tibet before they ever throw their own people under the bus and surrender those medals for violations.
