    CHINA DAILY FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 2012 olympics 5 off track ... CHINA APPEALS AGAIN The Chinese cycling team sent a second appeal letter to the Interna- tional Cycling Union (ICU) on Wednesday (London time) after the fi rst appeal was rejected last Friday. The cycling team appealed to the ICU and the International Olympic Committee after China was stripped of the gold in the women’s team sprint track cycling for making an early relay. However, ICU president Pat McQuaid said in an interview that the ref- eree’s decision will be the fi nal judgment, and the organization will not interfere. China was also fi ned 200 Swiss francs ($205) for intruding into the referees’ area. Pan Zhichen, manager of the Chinese cycling team, said in the sec- ond letter that quoting the game’s rules did not violate the regulation. He also questioned the referees’ double standards in the qualifi cation criteria and the fi nal. The Chinese team used the same riding techniques in three match- es, the letter explained. It also said that if China violated the rules, the judgment should have been made in the early rounds instead of after it won the title. The judging panel still didn’t give a believable explanation, which has hurt the riders and coaches, the letter said. The subjective judgment also exerted a negative infl uence over the sport’s development in China, it added.
