Its widely hypothized if tested the top level athletes in strength/speed sports would show to as having their mysostatin gene inhibited. The gene puts a limiter on the amount of skeletal muscle the body will carry. (Google "Belgian Blue" is you'd like to see it in action)
My point being that *we* are not equal, not even at the highest levels, there is a definite genetic caste system. Obviously some people have the work ethic and luck to overcome this inequity but that doesnt mean we should ignore the playing field. I think what this really comes back to is that some of us need desparately to believe that we all are created equally. Those people can call me when an NFL team starts a white guy at RB, or a dude from sweden wins the gold in the 100 meter dash. (Heck, call me if he reaches the final heat.)
