I didn't think that anyone in the last 100 years had suggested that we are all built equally. Look at certain sports and where the athletes come from. You will see very high numbers of top sprinters in Jamaica etc.
Most top sportsman say that most people barring injury or illness can reach the top level in a sport. Its once you are there that your genetics, sports scientists etc give you the edge.
I'm sure that I could get to a similar level to some of the weakest tour de france cyclists if I trained my **** off for a good few years but I would never have the capability to get near the top guys.
A lot of athletes do high altitude training which gives them the edge. The effects of high altitude training are the same as taking certain drugs which is where I think a bit of ambiguity comes in.
