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.

Maybe the makers of BIC Pens should come up with a gimick of their own by developing a faster pencil and then solicit top science, engineering, and mathematics students to promote it by claiming it helped them solve physics problems in record time. OOOhhh I can see it now -Joe Schmoe set a new world's record for completing the SAT. :doh:
However, if you really want to apply technology to swimming, just have someone develop a video game where the players control virtual swimmers and Intel can take some of the credit for setting a new world's record.
As a plus, the Olympics can be held entirely on line (without regard to whether the host country is run by a bunch of Communists). :shakeshead:
