I assume that these things are going to attract serious scrutiny for quite a while. It just doesn't seem worth the risk today of losing medals until these are tested beyond reproach.
I put a heat patch on my chest as I had a stitch. I told another swimmer it was a floating device to help me during the race. The officials came over and made me remove it.
