I don't remember ever reading anything about Spartans being fairer than Athenians, but them being taller and more muscular could be just related to their diet and training. These "Deep_Mani" samples from Greece are probably the closest thing to them in the modern age and it's much less northern than the Arvanite/Slav mutts in the rest of the Peloponnese. Maniots claim descent from Spartans.
