I'm not going to pretend to know much about swimming, but this quote got me a little curious:
"This is going down a very dangerous road," Castagnetti told the AP. "It removes the purely competitive aspect of the sport and puts outside factors into play. Swimming has always been based on ability. Now, there are other aspects. It's like technological doping. It's not in the spirit of the sport."
With this kind of logic, one would think this guy (the Italian coach) would be opposed to the use of swim caps and goggles, too. It just seems to me he's upset because his team isn't using these suits.
