This is a pathetic attempt to control US swimmer's incomes.
What the hell is behind this inane decision?
Are we trying to kill off the sport slowly?
This decision is ridiculous !

Frankly, I agree.
On a lighter note...
I think allowing sponsorships would make the sport more colorful as it progresses... imagine the amount of advertising you could sell off with a cap and full bodysuit!
The announcers wouldn't have such a time describing where a swimmer was either (lane, two, near the top of the screen) as they could use the color or largest logo on the swimmers visible panel to describe them.
