I think I started this in part with my post about the underage Chinese 
Gymnasts.  Have others done it in the past?  Yes.  Does that make it 
right...not in my mind. 

Cheating is cheating.  If someone is caught they ought to be stripped of 
their medals and kicked out.  Period.  If it is "State Sponsored" then 
that "State" should be show the door.  I know as long as there are 
competitions there are cheaters.  Not all are caught, hell probably most 
get away with it.  However when some one is caught then they should be 
punished, no matter how it was they cheated.

As far as what this has to do with photography, not a lot I 
guess...however it does have a lot to do with ethics and that is 
something I think ALL photographers think about.
