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.

uhhh....that's not 2% that's 10%....if that differential exists with respect to the LZR, there could be chaos at Trials...
As I said....there was an increased level of effort even though I tried to keep things the same. Full race speed will not have a 10% increase...but I do expect for it to be dramatic.
One other thing about this type of "flotation" device...for big guys like me it really keeps me higher in the water, when your used to swimming SLOW mid season while broken down it should really effect those times.
