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?

I guess what I am asking is, what other sport has introduced technology that has played a role in significantly dropped times at the elite level, resulting in WR's dropping like flies?
Sure, you can make tennis equipment made from unobtanium and it allows you to hit the ball harder and with more accuracy. But at the end of the day, it's still just people on either side of the net and one side wins. Right?
