Suppose the device does work as described, somehow using amino acids to induce some sort of electrical current that aids stamina, should it be legal? Would it not be a device that aids performance and therefore illegal? Or only legal if incorporated as part of a costume thereby somehow becoming not a device ala the Tyr/Speedo distinction? :rolleyes: It was interesting that most of the articles listed four accupuncture points where the patch could be useful, and that the shoulder wasn't one of them. I just don't see why we want our sport to go down this road, why can't we stick to improving technique and conditioning not equipment/costumes?
