Unfair advantage?

I just heard Charley Gibson ask if the new swim suits that the US swimmers are wearing give them an unfair advantage. Huh??????? Are we to be hamstrung because our scientists and industry have teamed up to invent a substance so Speedo could make a swim suit out of? If the other countries want the same advantage then they can do one of two things: 1) Buy the damn suits and put them on their swimmers (I’m sure Speedo will sell them. I have seen them on the Aussie swimmers) or 2) invent their own space age material and build their own suits.
I’m sorry but isn’t it the job of the US Olympic committee to ensure our athletes have the best possible training and equipment? I mean we invented new lighter metals for bicycles, lighter better track shoes, and even Mark Spitz had his little Speedo suit in 1984. It isn’t like something like this has never happened. The Soviets had whole battalions of scientists working to make undetectable steroids and the French just swap out urine samples so their people can win.
Man I am so tired of our people apologizing for our inventions and how well we do on the world stage. I blame it on Political Correctness; those two words should never go together any way. There is nothing correct about politics.
