Coaches trying to get LEN and FINA to ban the Blue Seventy

So the idea is to ban any suit faster than an LZR? I believe that the improvements in suit design will begin to level off. Look, there were no real innovations in racing suits for decades. What we're seeing now is an application of technology which has been long overdue. Any measurable advantage from tech suits is just from the "girdling" (body compression) effect. As for the "technology" I guess Playtex (long time maker of girdles and bras) could be considered a technology company too. :D However, I don't see it (or Speedo, Nike, Adidas, etc.) listed on the NASDAQ Technology stock listing along with Intel, AMD, Apple, Microsoft, Boeing, etc.
