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 ?

  • I don't believe the suits float, If they fit well, right and tight, they give swimmers a better surface to slip through the water with. Which is one of the reasons we've seen so many WRs fall recently. 50 fr M W 100 fr M 200 IM W 400 IM W 200 bk W 50 bk W I'm sure Phelps could have broken records too but I beleive they are saving them for trials and the olympics. plus I beleive he has a financial incentive to break records in bits rather than in one large chunk.
