    Does he not realize that his own suit was a factor in his success? They should compete in the swimsuits of the 1800s.

    LOL Maybe we should go the whole hog and have bathing machines where the blocks are. The swimmers have to run inside, get changed into knitted knee length bathing costumes, wear handlebar moustaches and straw boaters and then wade into the water before swimming away. The race could be filmed in sepia and shown in moving picture houses with captions and a piano player stage right. Hasn't Dunc heard of progress?

                              Ban the Swim suit[^] So baldie Dunc is against the Speedo Swimsuit that helps everyone who wears it. How about everyone wears it then there's no problem. If he's against things helping you swim faster, why doesn't he ban shaving chests & legs for men (and some women I have known) as that also helps reduce the drag. I play squash so maybe I should stop playing with my £120 racquet and go to JJB and buy a £20 thing just so I don;t have any advantage over my opponents. To55er!

                                Indeed. Unless there's a requirement to distinguish players of different teams I don't see the point. (Well, OK, winter sports athletes can dress appropriately.)

                                    I suspect that there will not be a need to take measurements of the female competitors. One glance and their vital statistics will be instantly imprinted in my mind. I never forget a, err…, let’s just say I will remember them. :~

                                      Maybe they should just compete naked. Then it is completely fair. No skull caps, no suits, no googles, no assistance of any kind.

                                        Ban the Swim suit[^] So baldie Dunc is against the Speedo Swimsuit that helps everyone who wears it. How about everyone wears it then there's no problem. If he's against things helping you swim faster, why doesn't he ban shaving chests & legs for men (and some women I have known) as that also helps reduce the drag. I play squash so maybe I should stop playing with my £120 racquet and go to JJB and buy a £20 thing just so I don;t have any advantage over my opponents. To55er!

                                        I agree with him entirely the playing field should be level. I have no problem with high tech swimsuits but everyone should have the exact same suit. The Olympics are not Formula 1.
