If the full body rubber suits do end up getting banned, why should USMS follow their lead on this issue? (i.e. assuming the suits would continue to be manufactured).
Isn't Masters mostly for each individual to pursue what they want and the level they want out of the sport?
If the full body suit is preferred by many USMS participants, why not satisfy the base by keeping it available?
What's really the point of forcing old USMS swimmers out of their girdles if FINA bans them?

Well, FINA has already stated that it's previous ban did not apply to masters and that it never intended to regulate masters.
True, but I thought that was another of their "temporary insanity" moments. Masters represents a very large, international venue in swimming that increasingly has a large cross-over to USS and FINA events. It makes no sense that they would just cut masters loose to do their own thing.
