After initially accepting the ages of all members of the Chinese women's gymnastic team, on August 21, 2008 the [[Internationalاللجنة Olympicالأولمبية Committee|I.O.C.الدولية]] instructed the International Gymnastics Federation, known as the [[Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique|F.I.G.]], to investigate allegations that China's dual gold medal winning gymnast [[He Kexin]] is underaged and therefore was not eligible to compete during China's Olympic gymnastics competition.<ref name="Sydney Herald Controversy">{{citeاستشهاد newsبخبر|last=Hutcheon|first=Stephen |url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/off-the-field/ioc-calls-for-probe-into-china-star/2008/08/22/1219262483864.html |title=IOC calls for investigation into gymnast's age |publisher=''smh.com.au''|date=2008-08-22|accessdate=2008-08-22}}</ref> F.I.G was instructed take up the issue with the Chinese gymnastics federation and report back to the I.O.C. later on Friday, August 22.<ref name="NYTimes Controversy">{{citeاستشهاد newsبخبر|last=Macur|first=Juliet|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/22/sports/olympics/22age.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin |title=I.O.C.
