SwimNews.com veit í dag at siga, at eitt “Middle East Consortium” í Qatar umhugsar eina stevnu við flottum pengapremium har suðuri umleið á jólum, har loyvt skal vera at svimja í superdraktum. Men hetta vil FINA ikki hoyra talan um – stjórin Marculescu sigur at reglurnar viðvíkjandi svimjidraktir verða óbroyttar í øllum førum fram til OL í London í 2012, og at ein og hvør svimjari undir FINA sum velur at kappast í sovorðnari kapping uttanfyri FINA, verður straffaður við 1 ára karantænu (!)
“There are so many opinions on the subject of suits but what is clear is that until London 2012 we will stay with the current rules. There will be no change.

We have a lot of instruments to prevent this.”
