Lame, I'm sorry but I don't accept his conclusion at all.
I think the word "Lame" should be reserved for responding to an essay on language, history, human genetics, sports, and culture with a one-word sentence that disagrees without reason or evidence. Lame.
What about doping? Another throwaway idea: racism still exists, so the blacker somebody looks, the more likely they'll have to resort to desperate means like allowing dangerous medical experiments on their bodies (doping) to still have some success in society. (I am not claiming this is the explanation, just want to point out another possible explanation).
That doesn't explain why west Africans are so strong at sprinting but very weak at distance running, while east Africans are the opposite (dominant in distance running, very weak sprinters), nor why whites are somewhat competitive in the middle distances but not sprints and long distances.
