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?

Imagine being a member of the German Olympic team, having spent most of four years training for that moment...and then giving up SECONDS to your competitors because you can't wear a LZR.
I'm very disturbed that a scientist would go on record that there was a specific measurable performance enhancing effect to a specific suit without showing the emperical data that said suit resulted in "SECONDS" dropped in swimming times.
Shame on you.
