Hi all!
Anyone knows Italian? According to www.simsport.se it says Speedo is using both neoprene and double layers in the new LZR (something that was banned already 1974 according to www.simsport.se). The only thing I could check myself was that the article wasn´t from April 1st :)
See for yourself:

It's a big mess:
- too late for the others swimsuit manufactures to develop new swimsuit in time for beijing.
- too much $$$$ on stakes for Speedo to accept a ban from FINA just now, even more with Speedo that claim that FINA was informed about the project when it was in making and officially approved it before his public release.
FINA will get a lot of "heat" for this, ARENA and ADIDAS are big players, ADIDAS a lot of bigger that Speedo, they'll not accept to look like fools.
A legal battle IMHO will be inevitable if the suit is not banned at least for Beijing.
