More evidence has surfaced that gold medal winner He Kexin is underage, but information about the gymnast is fast disappearing from the Internet.

Hacker “stryde.hax” identified He Kexin with the birth date January 1, 1994 in a cache on Baidu, the largest Chinese search engine. This would make her 14 years old and under the eligible age of 16 for Olympic competition. It is reported He Kexin’s Chinese passport states her birthdate is January 1, 1992.

Stryde.hax says that all the documents personally unearthed, and that show He Kexin with the 1994 birthdate, have “gone down the memory hole.”

Video’s of He Kexin on YouTube have also been removed.

Why bother removing the original documents if they were in fact false? stryde.hax asked, raising concerns of Internet censorship.
