Why does MLB prohibit the use of aluminum bats or spitting on baseballs or letting players use steroids (okay - two out of three)? Why does NASCAR prohibit fuel injected engines or certain transmission gear ratios? Why does the PGA disqualify certain golf balls or regulate golf clubs? Why can't basketball players where stilts or use a trampoline? Enough is enough, when a piece of equipment can alter the record books and cheapen the physical accomplishments of every past athlete, it's time to say stop (don't you think?).
The integrity of our sport is on the line here. How about two dolphin kicks for breaststroke or how about adding another arm-stroke to the backstroke turn or allowing IM'ers to turn-over before they touch on the back to *** transition.
I'm against the LZR and any suit that enhances performance and don't think I'll be changing my mind unless they find out swimming naked can make you swim faster.
Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

Today's Wall Street Journal has a half page article on the back of the Marketplace, I think (above the weather). It's even got a color picture!
Topic? LZR and tech suits of course. The article is pretty old news to most anyone who's read these threads, but you have to admit the news coverage of anything swimming is always exciting. I couldn't see a writer getting excited for those nylon suits of old with the weird crotch panel and my mommy's jerry-rigging shoelaces tied across the contour back straps.
