FINA says Dubai Charter doesn't apply to Masters

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. Pedro Adrega is the Honorary Secretary of the FINA Press Commission. He is also the Editor in Chief of FINA Aquatics, the official monthly magazine of FINA. The last time I spoke with him (and it was over a year ago), he works directly for Cornel. Knowing the FINA office, nothing is going out without Cornel's approval. As there is an Extraordinary FINA Masters Congress in Rome next month, I would not expect any change in any decision until then. I would imagine that the FINA Masters Commission would be looking for direction from the FINA Bureau. just my $0.02. -michael
