I dunno, I think Kaddath has an interesting point. It's been done before. The Castrati were prized singers - - their name indicates what they had to do to achieve that status. Was it fair that they got hired to sing over other groups that chose not to castrate themselves?
Let me ask you this - what if this runner had lost an arm? Should we forbid him from competing? After all, the average runner's arm weighs a lot more than an amputee's shoulder. Wouldn't that give him a power-to-weight ratio advantage?
