In the sport of bodybuilding, genetic advantages do make it "unfair" because you are most definitely constrained by it (zipper abs, unaesthetic chest insertions).

But I wouldn't subscribe to this definition of fairness. Fairness seems more about everyone playing by the same set of rules in the sport. If you start including genetics into the rules then it would become unfair, purely by defining it that way.

In bodybuilding, you are confusing genetics with steroids.

I thought the point of body building was people's genetically based reactions to horrendous amounts of steroids?

But seriously... I am all for sport enhancements from now on. We really need to do lots of tests with RNA based genetic modification. (I predict that Chinese companies will earn fortunes by curing lots of diseases in ten-fifteen years.)

Bodybuilding is more of a pageant than a sport.
