The Color Of Speed

Many fans just can't believe that Jeremy Wariner, the Olympic 400-meter champ, is white--and they've argued it out on the Web
RE: Who says white men can't sprint?
Me Too> I believe Wariner is half-white/half-black
Bad Science> Poor guy! Can you imagine the problems that can cause?
If he's divided top/bottom and the top is black, he's stuck being slow. If he's divided left/right, it's a bitch if the white side is on the right, because then he keeps running off the curve from the stronger forces generated by the inside leg. Damn!
