the appears the problem is they are using BMI as the main tool for measurement it appears....BMI is flawed from the get go....ask a pro football player, weight lifter, body builder who all have high BMI all whom have huge body mass....

It certainly isn't the most accurate way but it is the same standard being applied across the board so the rankings are fair to all. I would doubt that there is a higher percentage of Mexican weight lifters that caused the rankings to be way off.
