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?

boxing is a pretty crummy example.
who is the world champ? who knows?
Boxing is crummy - period, but look at other sports
Look at basketball - three point line, size of the lane paint area.
baseball - aluminum bats vs wood bats, home run champs (Oh vs Aron vs Bonds).
Canadian Footbal vs American Football - size of field, players in motion, etc
many examples but they all have their records and championships and "world champions".
