After aninvestigation that lasted more than a year, the International GymnasticsFederation announced on Friday that a Chinese gymnast from the 2000 Olympicshad been too young to compete.
在为时长达一年多的调查后，国际体操联合会（FIG）于本周五证实参加2000年悉尼奥运会的一名中国女子体操运动员年龄造假。
The gymnast, Dong Fangxiao, a member of the Chinese women’s teamthat won the bronze medal, was found to have falsified her age in order to meetthe requirements at those Olympics. The gymnastics federation said in astatement that Dong was actually 14, two years younger than the minimum. Herresults at those Games and at several other major competitions have beenrevoked.
董芳霄，当时作为中国女子体操队成员之一，在悉尼奥运会上取得了一枚铜牌，但她谎报了自己的年龄以便顺利参加比赛。国际体联在一份声明中说董芳霄当时的实际年龄只有14岁，而参加奥运会的体操运动员必须年满16岁。从而她在悉尼奥运会及其他一些主要赛事中所取得的成绩均被取消。
Thefederation — which goes by its French acronym, F.I.G. — submitted a request tothe International Olympic Committee to strip the Chinese team of its Olympicbronze medal. If that happens, the United States women’s team, which finishedfourth, will move into third place. The gymnasts on that squad were Amy Chow,Jamie Dantzscher, Dominique Dawes, Kristen Maloney, Elise Ray and TashaSchwikert.
国际体联（FIG）向国际奥委会递交了一份请求来取消中国女子体操队的奥运团体铜牌。如果该请求被通过，位列第四名的美国女子体操队将进阶第三名。当时美国女子体操队六名队员分别是周婉怡，Jamie Dantzscher, Dominique Dawes,Kristen Maloney, Elise Ray 以及 Tasha Schwikert。
“Therestill is what I believe to be unanswered questions about this issue, but thereis only so much you can prove when it comes to falsified documents,” StevePenny, the president of USA Gymnastics, said. “I feel that the F.I.G. is takingthis matter very seriously and has done a very responsible job here. They’vedone absolutely everything in their power to get to the bottom of a very sensitiveissue.”
美国体操协会主席 Steve Penny指出：“有关此事，我相信还有很多未被回答的事情；但关于年龄造假的问题，能被证明的也就这么多了”；他还说：“我认为国际体操联合会态度认真严肃，并且做了一件很有责任感的事情。他们也已竭尽全力弄清楚该敏感事件的内幕及真相”。
Mark Adams, a spokesman for the I.O.C., said the gymnastics federation’srecommendation to strip the Chinese of their medals would be studied by theI.O.C.’s executive board before any action was taken. That would probablyhappen at the board’s next meeting at the end of April, he said.
国际奥委会（IOC）发言人Mark Adams说，国际奥委会董事会计划于今年4月底召开的董事会议上商讨国际体联(FIG)建议取消中国女子体操队铜牌的事宜。
The issue of age falsification has long been a problem in gymnastics, but itbecame a major issue at the 2008 Beijing Games, when questions arose about theage of at least two of China’s female gymnasts. Sportsregistries and other sources showed that those gymnasts did not meet the agerequirements, but Chinese officials blamed the age discrepancies on misfiledpaperwork. After a month long investigation, the federation said the gymnastshad been old enough to compete.
长久以来，年龄造假一直是困扰国际体操界的顽疾。2008年北京奥运会，观众质疑至少有两名中国女子体操队队员的实际年龄，而这也是当时的一个焦点话题。运动员登记表记其他消息来源显示这些运动员均未达到参赛年龄，但中国官方却归咎其为文书错误。而经过长达一个月的调查后，国际体操联合会表明这些运动员的年龄已完全足够参加比赛。
