Should this guy able to compete against normal people?

So if this guy can't compete because he has prosthetic legs which you claim gives him an advantage. Why then is it okay for Michael Phelps to compete and win Gold medals when he has a genetic defect that gives him an advantage?

What defect is that, because he is tall? I'd think that since Phelps has been beaten by others and that he is always being raced by others that are only thousandths behind him, he has no real "genetic advantage" as you claim.

To your point about he gets beat, so does Pistorius.

Here's what Phelps has going for him:
• Most people have a wingspan that matches their height. Not Phelps. He may be 6'4" tall, but his arms extend outward to a total of 6'7".
• The average shoe size for a person the size of Phelps is 12; he wears a size 14 which gives him a 10% advantage over the competition.
• He also has a larger than average hand size which allows him to move more water.
• Phelps is double-jointed in the chest area; this enables him to extend his arms higher above his head and pull down at an angle that increases his efficiency through the water by as much as 20%; this also allows him to have quicker starts and turns.
• He has proportionately short legs relative to his long, powerful trunk; this large upper body is the engine that powers his long arms. Moreover, his unique physique reduces drag through the water and allows for maximum propulsion.
• Phelps has a greater-than-average lung capacity allowing him to execute his underwater dolphin kicks longer than the competition.
• He has a genetic advantage that causes his muscles to produce 50% less lactic acid than other athletes. This means he can work at higher workloads for longer periods.
• With a low body fat of 4%, he is better able to convert his effort into speed.

And you can also do some quick searches to find studies Phelps has been in and various testing he's had to do.

So you have not provided anything that shows genetic "defects". All you have provided is what he was born with not anything that was added to make him genetically modified. Your just trolling and I now will not answer any other of your trolling questions about this subject.

 

A defective FBN1 gene associated with Marfan syndrome affects the formation of fibrillin protein in connective tissue.

Marfan syndrome is caused by a defect (mutation) in the gene that determines the structure of fibrillin-1—a protein that’s an important part of your child’s connective tissue. A child with Marfan syndrome is born with the disorder, even though it may not be diagnosed until later in life.

The defective gene that causes Marfan syndrome can be inherited. The child of a parent who has Marfan syndrome has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the disease. But sometimes Marfan syndrome isn't inherited—in about one out of four children who have Marfan syndrome, the mutation has happened spontaneously, for no apparent reason.

Although everyone with Marfan syndrome has a defect in the same gene, different mutations are found in different families and individuals. So, the defective gene can express itself differently in different people (this is called “variable expression”)—creating variability in traits and severity, even within families.



If his arm span is longer then his height then he has a genetic defect. I am sorry you refuse to agree with me, but if you bother to even do 10 minutes of research you will see by accepted standards he has a genetic defect.
