And if Piersol had been wearing a Jaked body suit, everyone would say that's the only reason he broke 52 in the 100 back.
This is the same kind of statement that lead to an argument between the Fort and me. Positing that the suit provides real advantages, and stating that "So and so only did this time because of the suit," is NOT the same thing. It is really easy to dismiss an opposing view point if you exaggerate and inflate what the opposing view point is actually saying.
So I want to at least be perfectly clear on what I think: LZR wearers are probably at a disadvantage, some LZR wearer may get left off the team because of an endorsement contract, that stinks, and Piersol is the best backstroker of all time!
