  • I seriously doubt the last chapter has been written in this story. You are probably correct. I can see a lawsuit by Arena, B70, and Jaked against FINA/Speedo given that they all seem to have gained market share and then lost it overnight due to a very dark force. Also, if the records don't end up getting challenged anytime soon I wouldn't be surprised to see FINA change the rules right before the London Olympics to re-allow tech suits because a lack of world records is bad TV. There are probably endless possibilities to keep this discussion topic alive! Tim
