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 ?

Bottom line - life is not fair.
The problem with this line of argument is that it can be used to justify anything.
You want to eliminate the gender distinction at Nationals? Oh well, might as well, we all know life isn't fair. He did how many dolphin kicks off his start in the 100 ***? Oh well, life isn't fair. They killed how many peaceful protesters? Oh well, life isn't fair.
If you want to argue that it is impossible or impractical to ban the suits, or that it would require rule changes that can't be passed in time that's fine, but the argument that life isn't fair so we shouldn't make any effort to make it as fair as possible doesn't carry much weight.
