    How about FINA Masters rules of: 1) Any suit on the current FINA approved list. 2) Any FINA approved suit as of Jan 1, 2009. This would include B70 Nero Comp. The suit manufacturers would want stay in synch with the FINA ‘elite’ approval list and suits like B70 Nero will quickly die out to be replaced by a currently approved model. I doubt if B70 would continue to produce a Nero for Masters only (especially when the approved Speedo’s are faster). 3) One year’s notice for removal of approval of any suit (‘Once on the list, always on the list’ would be better – but this would force FINA to think for a change) We would then be aligned with FINA but those who bought a FINA approved suit won't then be burnt by the retraction of approval.
