...scientists, the best method for narrowing down a person's age is a combination of five weighted factors known as the Complex Method. It includes analysis of the pubic bones that lie just under the navel along with some vertebral bones, both sets of which start out rough in youngsters but smooth out over time; images of the femur, or thigh bone, which becomes thinner and loses bone mineral over time; dental wear; and closure of the cranium. However, it's unlikely that IOC or FIG officials will go so far as to impose these types of biological tests...

And while he did not address why he hadn't taken care of the painful spurs earlier, Hamm had already weathered a severe pectoral tear earlier this year, and underwent a lengthy recovery and rehabilitation...
...China's failure to live up to its promise of free access to the Internet for the estimated 20,000 international journalists expected to cover the Games has become the most prominent bone of contention between the IOC and its critics. The sensitivity of the problem was apparent in Friday's IOC press release, which seemed also to condemn itself in its eagerness to avoid the appearance of a backroom compromise with Beijing...
