the equivalence between the suits and PED use is being implied, and that is the moral imperative for why they are now actually banned. From this perspective, I see that as a Red Herring based on political interests that are ultimately disingenuous.
I have no moral qualms with the suits -- well, maybe a slight one about their price, the whole "social justice" thing (and losing about $500 of suits to a thief at a meet sure didn't improve my outlook on the price issue).
My personal position has always been that masters should follow the same rules wrt suits as the elites, no more and no less.
That's why I said Rowdy's argument against banning the suit doesn't apply. The suits are banned, the question now is about what masters should do. I don't think TV coverage is really an issue in that debate.
I don't get your political interests comment at all. If you look at this:
reachforthewall.com/.../
you see that Australia and GB are pressuring FINA to allow body-suits for men, and one reason mentioned is that the sponsors aren't happy with jammers b/c there is little room to have those big logos.
So exactly which side is being more accommodating to special interests?
