Suits. Yes, those suits. The ones that were worn at the recent FINA championships in Rome where swimmers broke all sorts of records. And guess who was complaining about them? Yup. Bong Boy.
Ironcially, he didn't get upset until he was beat in a race and had to settle for second place. But it was Phelps who lobbied for FINA to include the suits in the first place.

I think we have a narrow-minded view of what cheating is. It's not all doping. I am just as guilty of a narrow-minded view as anyone out there. We're so busy worrying about the latest positive dope test, that other things have come down the pike position and blindsided us.
It's the swimming equivelent of Barry Bonds-well, almost. And it was nipped in the bud before the next Olympics.
As to the records set in Rome? Simple: toss 'em out-along with the swimmers who decided to have a bit of high-tech help in their arsenal, to the detrement of the others who competed clean.
Give me Mark Spitz in his Speedos any old day.
