1. The Romanians KEEP having "moral" problems with their gymnasts...
I seem to remember that a couple of Romanian gymnasts did a nude or topless video a while back.

2. Good!
There's more to life than dominating gymnastics competitions.

5. Octavian Belu is known for using physical means to discipline his
gymnasts. Yes, "his" gymnasts. He owned them and now they have rebelled against him. Good for them.

That "iron discipline" included isolation from friends and family, physical and mental abuse and starvation.

BTW - The gymnasts who posed nude recently were retired by the time the pictures were taken. They were not minors.
