Writes Erik Ellison: "Let's just be honest: people who complain about 'everything that's wrong' with sports just want to complain. If it isn't steroids, it's something else. Now other countries are complaining that the new Speedo suit worn by American swimmers at this years Olympics will amount to, get this, technological doping! From the article:

Rosolino is using a new Arena suit that was supposed to compete with the LZR, but he said it hasn't changed much.

"I have the new one, but it's just lighter than the old one," Rosolino said.

Alessia Filippi, another prominent Italian, agreed.

"We're at a big disadvantage," she said. "I think we all need to have the same (type of) suit at the Olympics, and Arena is working on it. But they've got to hurry. We're behind."

So at least we know the athletes at least have some sense of reality, in that they understand that the company that makes there suit needs to catch up. But the point they are missing is that they should just go buy Speedos if they need to. Not whine about their home countries company lagging behind.

Now here's some major FUD from the whiner in chief of the rival company:

In an open letter published in Friday's editions of the Daily Telegraph, Arena Group CEO Cristiano Portas called for "urgent" action due to the "firestorm of publicly expressed concern" over the new suits.

Portas said the sport faces an "irrecoverable loss of credibility, just a few months before the Olympic Games."

"That's right--if you can't compete regulate! What a bunch of cry-babies!"
