From a layman's perspective it seems like the case against Vendt would be pretty clear-cut. Either his contract specifically stated he must wear TYR suits in competition or it didn't.
But was he still under contract when he wore Speedo?
If it turns about to be a debate about the terms of getting a release from his contract it may not be so clear.
Would Vendt really be so callous and careless as to wear another suit in competition while knowingly under contract to another manufacturer? It's not a decision an athlete is likely to make without clearance from an agent. Again, before he swam at Belmont Plaza back in January it was announced that Vendt had split from TYR.
