Testosterone gene could offer men competitive edge in sports: study
May 30th, 2008 | by MikeS | | Post to NewsCloud »The headline for the story is a wee bit on the misleading side because it says the gene could offer men a competitive advantage. In fact what it really COULD offer is an edge to men who cheat. A significant difference. CBC Radio also managed to suggest possbile racial discrimination because the genotype is more prevelant in Asian men, so if you’re doing well and happen to be Asian, the suggestion is you might be cheating. Nevertheless it is an interesting example of how a person’s genotype reacts with our environment and medicine.
