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.

Give it a rest already. :shakeshead:
The integrity of the sport is not on the line. There are already new suits to compete with the LZR at better prices.
2 dolphin kicks for breaststroke and a flip over IM turn sound fabulous!! I'm all for one handed touches on fly and *** too.
AMEN!!!! Let's talk about integrity...when the East Germans and the Chinese were caught using preformance enhancing drugs... the integrity of the sport was damaged forever. Since then, all good swims have come under a cloud of suspected drug use.
If you have a problem with advancement...then were the briefs, don't swim with caps and goggles but get over it already.
There are those of us that like bodysuits. I haven't worn an LZR or whatever but I do have an Arena Powerskin and an Adidas bodysuit. I like the way the feel on me.
I am more comfortable racing in the Powerskin than the briefs. I am in favor of advancement.
If you don't like em...quit gripping and don't wear em. But leave it to each individual to decide what is best of him/her and stop trying to ruin advancement for the rest of us.
