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.

FWIW, I can give some of the guys here a sizing indication:
I am 6'2" and about 190 lbs, and it was a real struggle to get a size 30 Nero Comp on (but I did it), I have not worn a LZR so I cannot compare the two in terms of struggling to put it on...
I've heard from Roque that even the breastrokers (like me) are going with the full-length Nero Comp as opposed to the knee-length.
I will be test-piloting the suit in two weeks' time at a meet, and will report back if anyone's interested.
