DNA profiling already exists for sporting aptitude: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/a "As of the end of May 2023, a total of 251 DNA polymorphisms have been associated with athlete status, of which 128 genetic markers were positively associated with athlete status in at least two studies (41 endurance-related, 45 power-related, and 42 strength-related)." My memory might be playing tricks but I'm sure Jimmy Dunne gave an interview where he talked about having had gene testing when he had a trial with Chelsea when he was young. Chelsea didn't take him but they did give him a copy of the dossier they put together which projected how he would develop physically through his teenage years and into adulthood. I'm sure I read that somewhere but I can't find a link for it now. |  | |  |

Does this dna testing go as far as identifying players with hamstrings made of tissue paper ? |  |

You did indeed. Soon it'll be like horse racing, with sires and mares being coupled to produce offspring with all the nécessaires to be successful players. If anyone has Nourry's email, I'd happily cover Scarlett Johansen to produce that elusive 20-goal a season striker. And for however long it takes, can start later today. Anything for the Rangers! |  |

If Chelsea can have a puppy farm why can't QPR have a stud farm? Seems fair. |  | |  |

That's just sick. They're such affectionate animals, they shouldn't be used for this. |  |
