Posts 1 		Have just read Jon Heshka's interesting piece (http://www.britishsportslaw.org/resources/200978135434_BASL_Critical_Analysis_Has_Swimming_Got_the_Balance_Right_JON_HESHKA.pdf)

While I would concede that it is not necessarily the best thing for the sport, I do have grudging admiration for companies like Speedo who can develop technologies that are so effective they force governing bodies to change the regulations. It does not happen very often.

I have yet to made aware of these http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/staticfeature.asp?FID=6552 actually making a player run faster - if they're fast, they're fast.

It will be interesting to see the direction the debate takes following the World Championships in Rome.

Posts 1 		What is interesting is the media reaction to UCI attempts to regulate the technological arms race in cycling which is the flip side of this argument:

Manufacturers are always seeking to improve their products and if Governing Bodies seek to limit improvements in equipment there is a danger that the sport becomes stale. Is tennis any worse off because players no longer use wooden racquets or in golf should we go back to the mashie niblick or jigger?
