A "Black Eye" For The Speedo LZR

[Swimmboy]

I wish Phelps the best in his rehab program. He is an amazing athlete, has done wonders for the sport of swimming, and I hope we will see him in Rio in 2 years. He did a stupid thing - spent something like 8 hours in a gambling casino (he has been a poker player for years), probably sipping and drinking booze for most of the time, and got drunk - then decided to drive! Duh!
About the Speedo LZR suit - if I remember correctly, that was the only tech suit that actually met the FINA suit requirements and was not banned (until the new rules about no fabric above the navel or below the knees were made). Many of those high-tech suits (like the Jaked suits) contained rubber-like fabric that aided in flotation, which was illegal. The LZR suits were fabric that did not aid flotation - that was why it was amazing when he beat Cavic in their 2009 World Championship race in Rome...
