'Word out of Indianapolis today is that with no ability to test suits, the NCAA will continue to permit the use of all currently-approved suits for the 2009 Division championships.
Today's memo reads:
Members of the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving Committee met with NCAA staff members via teleconference, Tuesday, February 24, and discussed the current state of so-called technical swimsuits and the treatment of them for purposes of upcoming intercollegiate competitions, inclusive of the NCAA championships.
As stated in a memorandum sent September 11, 2008, the committee decided to permit all technical swimsuits approved by Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) to be worn in intercollegiate competition, including NCAA championships. At such time, no scientific or other concrete evidence existed to reasonably conclude that these swimsuits provided an advantage for the swimmer that could be defined as illegal or inappropriate assistance. As a result, the technical swimsuits were deemed compliant for all intercollegiate competition."

Dolphin 2, quit dancing around the issue and just tell us. Do you approve of these new high-tech swim suits?
How could he provide an answer worth considering? He's admitted that he doesn't race, so why should his opinion on tech suits hold any value?
