Gomez is trying to stop laughing, but it is very difficult.
See, we just ran across this crappy little article in the London Telegraph that actually reports as "fact" that "Hispanic" athletes have more testosterone than "Caucasian" athletes. Given that "Hispanics" are a multiracial US census invention (and can be of any "race" besides), the Telegraph looks about as smart as the Queen's Nickers.
The information used in the article comes from the British Medical Journal online, which got its information from some apparently stupid doctors in Switzerland.
One of these doctors, a man named Vivien James, actually said: “There are ethnic differences in people in the way they handle testosterone and this could provide a method for some people to get under the radar of the drug testing system. Introducing a passport would be a more secure way of monitoring T/E ratios over time so you could look for disturbances in the pattern.”
Uhm, Dr. James? Ethnicity is a learned phenomenon, not a biological one. Like culture. Gomez suspects Dr. James studied under Dr. Mengele. Gomez is happy we don't live in Europe.
