I was reading the Sao Paulo Declaration at
http://www.wamo.info
and the FINA response also linked to on that site.
What exactly is the justification for FINA GR 4, which prohibits participation by individuals and/or organizations in non-FINA-affliated organizations or events? The rule seems unreasonably broad in not limiting in any way what organizations one can not be affiliated with!
On the idealistic side, I find it somewhat offensive to have my rights of association so limited by a body like FINA. On the pragmatic side, FINA seems to have stacked the cards so much in its favor that it is hard to imagine fighting it.
There's a lot more below the surface that MASTERS throughout the world should consider...
Let FINA take care of their core business: Olympic material...
Masters for Masters is the best route, it's the way USMS has worked since its inception... FINA -ans its politicians- only hopped onto the gravy train!
Take a look at this short presentation herein attached.
