They are supposed to release details tomorrow.

I don't understand is why a swimsuit should be banned

Plus, the suit does not make the athlete swim faster, just more hydrodynamically efficient. This is like banning spandex in track. I could understand if it made swimmers more buoyant, but that's not the case.

no more brain-dead than the IAAF for decisions like leaving the multi records intact after radically changing the javelin, or the vault after the incredible peg shrinkage.

I admit that I have not been following this closely, but what I don't understand is why a swimsuit should be banned if it is not indecent, is accessible to all, and does not cause any harm to the swimmer or anyone else.

Taking over the top spot with a spectacular performance, FINA bans high performance suits because it's about the athlete's hard training not the technology BUT keeps the old records set with the latest suit technology that has allowed dozens of WRs in the last year!!
