Description:
        Swimmers broke many records this week at the world championships in Rome. But there was the swimsuit issue. FINA is the group that governs swimming. On Tuesday, its officers accepted a decision by FINA members to ban high-tech swimsuits next year. Full-body suits first appeared in the two thousand Summer Olympics. But in Rome, German swimmer Paul Biedermann said the growing attention to the issue made him mad. "It's all about the suits. It's not about the swimmer anymore."He said that after he defeated American Michael Phelps in the two hundred meter freestyle. And he did it faster than the world record time Phelps set last year at the Beijing Olympics. Biedermann wore the newest speed suit. Phelps wore last year's version. His coach later said he would urge Phelps not to compete internationally until the ban takes effect next year. That was all Tuesday. The next day, Michael Phelps competed in the two hundred meter butterfly. Again he wore last year's Speedo Racer. This time, he not only won, he broke his own world record.
