From the man whose WR has been broken four times in the last two months.....
I like his attitude. He could never be a USMS swimmer. Too much whining here about everything.

My comment was not about FINA, I was referring to an earlier thought where NASCAR was referenced, suggesting someone at a NASCAR race would have something no-one else did. I don't bash FINA, USS, USMS, or any other sport governing body.
Sorry if I sounded like I was singling you out but when I see comments about how some elite swimmers can't get the newest suits, I get a little miffed. It's not Speedo that controls who can get what, I'm sure that Speedo (or ANY vendor) would love to see suits to the entire planet. It's individuals/teams/nations that have exclusive endorsement deals with a single manufacture that prevents access to products from a different vendor.
