"136 swimsuits to be modified in accordance with “Dubai Charter” rule 3.1 c), as they don’t fulfil the requirement stating that “swimsuit material shall not be constructed to or include elements/systems which create air/water trapping effects during use”. The manufacturers have now a deadline of maximum 30 days (until June 19, 2009) to resubmit the same swimsuit for FINA approval, with the corresponding corrections (“Dubai Charter” rule 4.3 d)."

Looks like it for right now. That list came directly from the FINA website. Wonder what Deano has to say now.
Really. I recall B70 reps saying the suit would be legal until the end of 2009. It irks me to no end that the more performance enhancing suits like the LZR and Jaked made the list and B70 doesn't.
Just felt like saying "I told you so."
7. Speedo runs crying to FINA. They convince FINA to impose news rules on suits that will lead to the B70 suit being banned, while allowing the pure, snowy white LZR to remain legal.
