Speed-No’s

Step aside Aquaman, Biedermann is now the fastest non-fish in the water.

German swimmer Paul Biedermann defeated Michael Phelps in the 200 meter freestyle relay and of course Phelps’ first professional loss in over four years has controversy surrounding the pool of thoughts as to how this could possibly happen.

World records have been falling like water throughout this year's world championships all because of these polyurethane swim suits made by Arena, which Biedermann wore during his Phelps triumph. Phelps stuck with his Speedo swimsuit which has some polyurethane in it, just not 100% like his arch nemesis Biedermann’s suit.

The Arena suits are banned before the next championships begin, but aren’t for this year. It makes no sense why these suits aren’t banned now, especially with all these records artificially falling.

Polyurethane suits are to swimming as steroids and HGH are to baseball. It enhances your performance and helps you easily break world records. Get out the asterisk marks for all sports in this era.

Just like Clark Kent is Superman and his only weakness is kryptonite, Michael Phelps is Aquaman and his only weakness is polyurethane.

The only solution is to bring it back to the old time Olympic days. Just compete naked! No suits equal no advantages, just good old-fashioned competition.

But then no one would watch you say? No one watches anyway!
