    Sports where physical strenght and constitution are more important than technique will always be dominated by people with a better genetic pool.
    I’m without any doubt “genetically inferior” when compared to Usain Bolt: even if I started training when I was 3 years old, I couldn’t even imagine to get nowhere near his level because nature decided to screw up my knees while he was born a fucking sprinting machine.
    Sorry darling, suck it up and take the L or change sport.

        I’m not talking about that, my whataboutistic friend, I’m talking about this specific episode that’s being used as a media case to rage-bait people.

          Then we should set testosterone limits for male competitors too if it’s always unfair. Or is it only okay when we police women’s bodies?

            It’s always going to be unfair when the game is going to be “how strong am I?” because it will always boil down to genetics. If your body is more suited than mine to shoot punches you are going to win, regardless of sex, gender, ethnicity or age: basically the Olympics are a “Biggest Pumpkin Competition” but with a better advertising campaign.

            So all of this rhetoric of “should we test athletes for testosterone” is fucking dumb on both sides.
            Give them fucking chainsaws and let them massacre each other for my entertainment.

          You’re literally talking about whole sports in your first sentence, nothing specific about that…

            Yeah I’m sorry, sometimes in sake of brevity you skip some premises thinking an average minded person would be able to put it together on their own

              I don’t know why you’re jumping to insults when trying to have a discussion about this, as that’s what Lemmy is for surely, discussions??

              Why are you making it about solely her genetics saying that she’ll win based on these alone? They’ve been the same when she’s lost several matches as I was pointing out…

              You’re doing her a massive disservice by dismissing the amount of hours, effort, blood, sweat and tears she’s likely dedicated to training, and being rude to this “average minded person” for pointing that out.

              You do you though

                So you are able to understand the specific content of a generic comment!
                Good for you pal! Now go and read my first comment once again because I can tell that you still didn’t understand the point I was trying to make back then.

      Let’s remember that all the athletes that have records in running where found positive to doping. Then Bolt arrives and beat all their times one after the other but he is not using. I bet in 10 years he comes out as positive as well

        That plus the fact that everyone entered this thread with an opinion that is limited to one aspect of the matter, which is fine by the way until you try to derail the conversation towards that specific opinion so that you can pull it out totally out of context like a priest’s cock
