Should we "ban" the LZR Racer from Nationals ?

Not sure if it's the suit, the Olympic year, or a combo of both - but I do get the impression that the LZR racer is the fastest suit out there. It's not yet available, but I am sure some people will pull some strings and show up with the suit in Austin. I think we should all agree to ban the suit from Austin and spread the word to everybody. I know it's not binding - but I think we are all "old enough" to work on the honor system. Any thoughts ?

  • Why on earth would I complain about paying an additional $550 for a suit that might improve my times from previous years? Doesn't make sense to me. If you are improving your times because of the suit you are wearing I don't see whats the point of comparing your times to what you did prior to wearing the suit? You didn't improve as a swimmer, you improved as a consumer. I can get to work faster in my Porsche than I can in my Subaru, all that proves is I drove a faster car, not that I suddenly became a better driver.
