Should surgical body modifications on swimmers be considered cheating?
People get
lipo
various weight loss stomach and intestine surgeries,
*** reductions,
which in some cases the changes would improve a swimmers speed

I have asthma. I am always worried about peole who think that the drugs I take are performance enhancing. In fact, they are at a very distinct advantage over me because I usually start to wheeze during a race. I used to have a lung capacity of 11.5 liters. Now it is around 9 liters. Last year at our state I had to stop during the 200 free. So even thouhg I have really large lungs they don't work too well.
Also, I've had my colon removed. And I have some webbing between my fingers & toes.
