A shocker: Speedo is upset.
I do feel sorry for the effect of FINA's yoyo-ing on the suit manufacturers, including Speedo.
But I think it is a little dishonest for Speedo to say "Speedo has always believed that there is no place in the sport for buoyancy aids." Maybe not as buoyant as the impermeable suits, but most people I know who have worn Speedos (from Fastskins on up) feel like they are buoyant, especially when dry.
And why should buoyancy be forbidden any more than any other type of aid, such as compression?
