Noticed he was the only one wearing one of those scientific full body suite.

I personally think they should be banned, its patently unfair if they don't all have them & if they all have them, then there's no point. It just makes it much more expensive for the poor 3rd world countries that don't have sponsors paying for everything.
Now if you think its okay for Thorpe (or whoever) to wear one of those suites that are low fiction arround the trunk & high friction arround the forearms/hands & lower legs/feet, so they aid velocity in the water, then maybe they should legalise Steroids, Stimulants, analgesics (they block pain & tiredness), HGH & EPO, because really its the same thing.

As it becomes a competition between technicians, just as doping turns it into a competition between doctors (like the 'Tour d'France', where they All take EPO, otherwise you are just not competitive enough to even bother trying).
