VOA Report on the LZR Speedo Controversy

What we find most interesting is the statement of world record holder Natalie Coughlin, who uses the suit, that swimmers not wearing the Speedo will be at a disadvantage:

“I don’t know how to quantify how much faster it’s going to make me, but I do know it will reduce drag, and for the other athletes not wearing a Speedo in that race, they are at a disadvantage.”

We don’t know about you but we are beginning to believe that this new suit gives an unfair advantage to its users. What happens now to the concept of “level-playing field”. FINA should reconsider its approval of the LZR Speedo.
