Erik Hochstein wrote an article about Ryan Lochte's breaststroke portion of the 200 IM for for the Wasserman Media Group owned, Timed Finals. The article was posted and then immediately taken down. Less than a day later the article reappeared but in an edited form even though there was nothing in the article that was incorrect or offensive. I suspect the heavy editing was due to advertising interests since both Timed Finals and Swimnetwork.com are owned by the same company. Snippet:
"... If this was a certain Japanese swimmer, there would likely be an entire website dedicated to the issue by now. Threads regarding illegal breaststroke technique often dominate websites and message boards, most recently there was a highly active conversation surrounding a breaststroker not moving his “feet” out - or simply just kicking fly instead of breast. But this is one of the American heroes — yes — none other than Ryan Lochte.
Here is a link to the the edited version of the article: [Link]
