WTF?

I guess this means that "anything goes" in masters, unless your national federation places its own limitations on approved suits.
But, seriously, folks how can a FINA commissioner say the Charter on suits doesn't apply to master's but the organization then be hesitant about accepting master's records?
Well, he's a "Press Commission" guy, who may or may not also be a rule-making guy. Certainly I have observed other types of "press secretaries" getting it wrong, or maybe getting it right at the time but then their decision-making bosses go and change the decision on them.
I seriously wonder whether FINA has any lawyers at all. Nothing in any of the (apparently) duly-adopted rules I have seen suggests that the rules on swimwear would apply differently to Masters than to non-Masters.
