Either agree with FINA or take a reasoned stand against them.
This seems like a rare occurrence, unfortunately, with FINA in a superior power position, etc.
Doesn't seem like USMS is confused though ... They're just interpreting "approved list" to mean not explicitly banned, subject to clarification, subject to future modification and approval, tentatively unapproved but not per se illegal, etc. The problem with this is swimmers want a real answer: can I swim in X suit and beginning or ending on what date?
I guess we wait to see what USA Swimming says next week.
