		<description>FINA reminds me of a bunch of kids who somehow got caught in a terrible lie.  Every time they pop out of their tree house to explain the new truth to us, someone points out another giant flaw in their logic and they have to scurry back up their rope ladder and think of better story to tell.

It started off with a little lie about how the suits really don’t improve performance.  Then, the records started falling and they had to make up another lie about how only SOME suits help.  But by then people had already raced and set records in the original suits (which you will remember used to not help).  Then, the new and improved suits came out, and being all shiny, attracted FINA’s attention once again.  However, FINA continued to sit in their tree house and wonder how they can NOW say that these suits are ruining the sport when the old suits didn’t.  Of course, now the records are falling left and right, and long standing records are being smashed overnight.  Oh, so wait; let’s ban those suits that people already swam in!  Excellent idea!  Bu doing this FINA basically admits that the suits really did make all the difference.  Oh, but wait, the companies already invested millions making the suits, people bought them by the thousands and guess what, already competed in them and rewrote the record books, and guess what – those people are mad.  Since kids, uh FINA, don’t like people to be mad at them, they call a do-over and to make everyone happy (everyone with money to lobby that is) all that was illegal is now legal again.  Not that FINA really made a decision, they have just managed to extend their lie another 6 months.  Then they have to explain that even though you had sex with Brooke Shields at summer camp she won’t be coming to visit you at home… oh wait, that was a lie.</description>
