Fina takes another step to rein in the high-tech suits.


FINA, swimming'sinternational governing body, on Friday approved another measure to limit high-tech swimsuits that have helped to set more that 100 world records over the past two years. A U.S proposal to limit the amount of swimsuit coverage between the waist and knees for met, not beyond the shoulders or below the knees for women was overwhelmingly passed by the FINZ congress, meeting in Rome during the world championships. The new rule also says suits shall only be made from "textiles" but that term mus be defined. The new rule will not take effect at these swimming championshis, where dozens of world records could be set in suits made from materials such as polyurethane.
