Nation states could already do this, but they've been remarkably uninterested. Yao Ming is the only example I know of.

You don't need DNA tests, or even knowledge of the concept of DNA, to participate in a genetic arms race. DNA tests were not necessary to produce dogs that would rescue drowning humans or cows that would produce incredible amounts of milk. They also aren't necessary to produce "good genetic" humans.

And furthermore, even after producing / selecting those, we struggle to give them a good education in a repeatable way.
