You took too literally. I meant for a given sport, the average competitor had less strength than the majority and compensate this raising the level of skills. As we witnessed in the last 50 years, rich countries dominated due to increased strength resulting from better diets, better technology, better training methods.... This is still true for the sports dominated by the Eastern block and the Cubans. The future points to a levelling the field by throwing in those inputs, better diets, better technology, better training methods add 'mo money' from sponsors and we will come to a point that only DNA will influence the results. For instance: Ethiopians and Kenyans dominating running and so on... As the DNA starts coming first, we see an increase use of dopping, since most athlets seek 'mo money'.

Man Accused Of Molesting Stepdaughter From China Here is a sad and sick news story. Perhaps you can pass this story to news media in China or in internet media with translation. To get US visa, the foreigner must submit police record, but no such document required for the sponsoring American petitioner. Immigration office does not do background check on the American. Man Accused Of Molesting Stepdaughter From China Woman Marries Man After Meeting Online POSTED: 4:50 pm EST January 13, 2005 DANVILLE, N.H. -- Police said a convicted sex offender molested the young daughter of a woman who came from China to marry him. Video Woman Turns To Neighbor For Help Harold Baird, 68, of Danville, was accused of molesting his 5-year-old stepdaughter. Neighbors said they had their suspicions about Baird's relationship with his new family from the beginning. "At first he said he was going to marry a woman," neighbor Gary Forcier said. "Then when he showed up with a woman and a little girl, everyone started saying, 'Oh, there's something wrong here.'" Forcier said he's convinced Baird didn't have good intentions when he brought his bride and her young daughter over to the United States from China. Investigators said Baird met the woman online. "I think it was perfect that he married a woman from China because she would say nothing, and her daughter would say nothing. She hardly spoke English," Forcier said. "So, he was hoping she would maybe shut her mouth and not say anything." Police said Baird may have assaulted the girl more than once. "It's very disturbing, especially in our community," Chief Wade Parsons said. "It's a bedroom community with approximately 4,500 people. These things happen, but when they do, it's very upsetting to the community as a whole." Baird is on the state's sex offender registry list, convicted of a similar offense in 1990. Police said Baird's new wife probably had no idea of his previous conviction. They said she was disturbed, scared and confused when she allegedly caught Baird molesting her child. With her family and friends far away, the woman turned to a neighbor for help. That neighbor called police. Forcier, who was not the neighbor the woman approached, said Baird's wife and the young girl are now staying at a women's shelter, but they have nowhere else to go. "And she's got nothing and her daughter with her," he said. "They must feel terrible. Everything is odd over here. You come from China, and this is what happens to you." In court Thursday, Baird's lawyer asked a judge to lower his bail. The judge refused, saying that he's a threat to the community. Bail remained set at $100,000. Copyright 2005 by TheWMURChannel.
