FINA to strip French WRs

AFP, Sydney
FINA's crackdown on hi-tech swimsuits will make it difficult to ratify new world records by two French swimmers, Australian head coach Alan Thompson said Wednesday.
World swimming's ruling body on TUesday refused to give approval to 10 swimsuits, including some of those made from polyurethane, the material worn by Fred Bousquet and Alain Bernard.
FINA did not say whether the records set by Bernard and Bousquet during the French championships last month in Montpellier, would be annulled.
Bernard used anX-Glide suit to set a new 100m world record of46.94sec, while Bousquet beat the world mark in the 50m, recording a time of20.94. Both records had been held by Australian Eamon Sullivan.
FINA found the Arena "X-Glide" and "Jaked 01" suit needed to be altered to win approval for July's Rome world championships.
Thompson, who is in Lausanne as part of the FINA Commission in charge of swimwear
approval that has been meeting this week, said FINA’s decision meant it would be hard to ratify Bousquet and Bernard's swims.
"You would have to think that a world record would need to be swum in a suit that is approved and not a suit that has been modified, that is only my personal opinion," Thompson told reporters here in a teleconference.
Sullivan's coach, Grant Stoelwinder, said the two world records may return to his swimmer.
"Obviously, the suit that Alain Bernard wore wasn’t an approved suit and that record won't stand.
"The other one is the 50m world record of Eamon's that has been broken was broken in the suit that had pre-approval but now doesn't have approval, so that is going to be an interesting one.
"To me it says FINA has now recognised that it was technology that played a part in breaking that record and it wasn't the individual athlete's own achievements."
Thompson said he believed swimming would be close to a level playing field by next year.
"1 think it is going to be as level as possible at the moment and it is certainly a lot more level than it has been and it is getting pretty close to the mark," he said.
