is this seen as a scandal the world over, or just in America?

This is a world-level scandal. Look at the awards the illegal gymnasts have won, think of the other competitors who followed the rules and finished one place out of medal contention. China is making a mockery of was once a good thing. Does China even know how much of a fool they look to the rest of the world with their stance on human rights, privacy and now even this, cheating at the very olympic games that are supposed to be showing how superior they are? If anything, China is proving just how corrupt their whole system of government has become. People's Republic my arse. As if the people have a say anymore.

Um. Anymore? When was China ever run by the people? That is why it is called a Communist Oligarchy, it has never been run "by the people" that would require an actual Democratic Republic.
