China has promised to co-operate with the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) in their investigation into the age of Chinese gymnasts Yang Yun and Dong Fangxiao.

In a press release on its official website Tuesday, FIG announced it suspected Yang and Dong "of having violated minimum age requirements" at the Sydney Olympics and that it had started to investigate.

Chinese authorities promised to assist FIG, but denied the allegations.
