I guess there is a high rate of injury among young gymnasts who push themselves too hard. From what I’ve heard the age rules were adopted to prevent injury to younger athletes.

It's a toss up. Re: Suskind: i haven't read the book either. i just watch the Daily Show pretty regularly, and he was on there the other night. Basically his latest book - in part - claims that folks inside the CIA are responsible for forging a <i>pre-dated</i> letter from an intelligence chief in Iraq providing (after the fact) evidence of WMD back in 2003. i get the rules are rules. but i have never figured out which i like least - stupid rules or not following them.

For me on the gymnasts thing I don't think it matters how old the gymnasts are; the main thing is that everybody plays by the same rules. If the rule arbitrarily states that 16 is the age, then 16 should be the age for everyone. The rule doesn't say 'play the best gymnast regardless of his or her age.' So, the big deal is that one country sees fit to, apparently, circumvent the rules and forge passports to prove the ages to the IOC. That is far worse than doping, in my opinion, because it institutionalizes cheating. I don't really care about Apple and fake iPhones, that's just what everyone thinks of when they hear 'fake' and 'China' in the same sentence. Finally - I'm not familiar with Suskind or his book or any of the allegations that you refer to, so I can't really comment on your final statement. Thanks for the video link!
