BEIJING - Chinese skating authorities denied allegations of age-limit violations on Tuesday against 2006 Winter Olympic pairs silver medalists Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao - among others - but said further investigations are under way.

"The Chinese Skating Association (CSA) opposes all kinds of age cheating. According to our investigation, the ages of Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao that were registered for international events were their real ages," it said in a statement.

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that nine Chinese figure skaters may have violated competition age-limit rules, by competing when they were either too young or too old.
