    "How about we get to hear all the info and data?"

    Refreshingly level headed. For once I agree with you.

    While we are at it , we could also be discussing athletes whose physiology is a cheat code. Michael Phelps' disproportionate Lactic Acid production springs to mind.

    Or what about cultural advantage? Petro-dollar backed football clubs winning all the worlds most prestigous tournaments seems a bit unfair too? I hate losing to teams with more money than I do losing to teams with kids from the streets.

    Then again, some of the best players in the world started out on the streets. Arguably, dealing with more disadvatage is also a cheat code that leads to world class performance. Do we then review which socio economic groups are allowed to conpete against each other? Have class based leagues?

    Anyway, good to have a level headed conversation based on more facts, rather than jumping on a social media driven bandwagon
