"The integrity of the sport is man in water so the swimsuit should be neutral. It's quite easy, they need to test that the material of the suit is not as good as skin, that should be the litmus test.
I agree swimmers should only be allowed to compete naked. :-D

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.

If you don't ask questions the answers won't stand in your way.
Doing a job is like selecting a mule, you can't choose just the front half xor the back half so when you ask me to do a job don't expect me to do it half-assed. -
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!
My new favourite phrase - "misdirected leisure activity"
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.
