Dr. Pinchas Cohen, professor and chief of endocrinology at UCLA, agreed that such short stature is an abnormality stemming from an unidentified disorder.

Our culture's neurotic aversion to discussing inherent racial differences is on display here. "Such short stature" is only "an abnormality stemming from an unidentified disorder" if it isn't a natural genetic trait inherited from the parents. I see a lot of South/Central American Indians and their children in NYC -- many of the women are under 5 feet, and many of the men barely 5 feet, and their children are tiny as well. I don't see any "disorder" here, but I do see qualification under the new hormone eligibility standards. But don't hold your breath for the FDA to amend the standard to include a clause to the effect of "except where the short stature is a natural feature of ethnicity".
