CUTS
I actually had to break out my USA Swimming 2010 Rulebook. It appears this is governed by rule 207.12.6D and E. That seems fairly straightforward in regards to scratches. So, then I tried to find the suit inspection rules and only have found this thus far:
If any of your athletes come to any of these championship meets without the FINA-approval labeling on the swimsuits, they will only be permitted to be worn after an inspection of the suit in the last call room. To avoid this last-minute stress, please make sure you arrive at the meet(s) with the labeling already on the competition suits. Specific procedures for suit inspection at these meets will be provided during the general meeting prior to the meet.
So, I guess it comes down to whether showing up for suit inspection is a DQ. Alternatively, maybe he wore a non compliant suit on purpose realizing he had failed to scratch in a timely manner. In which case, that would be quite clever. Either way, it's confusing.
