Word is he wore the Jaked suit Auburn Swimmers wore at NCAAs
Auburn's (Euro) backstroker who barely qualified for NCAA's (1:45) in the 200 put the same suit on and goes 1:40+ at NCAA's. I spoke to a number of people who were there...these things are taking the LZR/B70 controversy to a new level. $5 says they will be banned by years end.
* I also heard it took 4 guys assisting to get the thing on.
