Though an eleven-paragraph, tech-suit, rant that suggests potential boycotts, hurls insults at FINA, and associates tech-suits with East Germans, the final paragraph offers a "suitable solution" which FINA should consider:
From the SMH.com
''What you have to do then is draw the line and decide if it's going to be a technology-based sport or it isn't. Or, you could say there will be two sports, with two sets of records and two codes.''

That comment has pro-league written all over it. Perhaps FINA... Hmmmm.
About Murray Rose: Rose is a two-time Olympian with 3-gold medals in Melbourne 1956 in the 400-meter, 1500-meter and the 4x200 meter relay. In Tokyo four-years later he scored a gold, silver and a bronze in the same events.
He is the patron of the Australian charity The Rainbow Club which teaches disabled children how to swim.
Best of all, he swam for the University of Southern California here in Los Angeles.
The above illustration of Murray Rose was a Sports Illustrated cover from 1961 and can been seen here at the SI Vault: [Link]
