I agree on everything except on th...Hello Jessica,<br /><br />I agree on everything except on the lack of authority of Michael Phelps on the topic: it is true that he does not have a college degree in chemical engineering, but he is definitely someone who:<br />1. Is very motivated to use whatever swimming suit will give him the best results in a competition<br />2. Is in the position to judge which swimming suit works best for him, considering the amount of hours that he spends swimming every day. I might not be a mechanical engineer, but I can easily tell that a Ferrari is faster than a Ford, just by driving them<br /><br />Now, under the assumption that all swimming suits are created equal and that the Fastskin technology is just snake oil, then Phelps might just be endorsing the brand that pays him the highest amount.<br />However, without such assumption we should agree that Michael Phelps has at least *some* authority in stating what gear works better for him.<br /><br />Ah, for the record, I am not a Speedo representative :)L'Annunciatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669315439887011660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5501880528374307912.post-92070669075600884322009-10-21T17:02:27.406-07:002009-10-21T17:02:27.406-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.L'Annunciatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669315439887011660noreply@blogger.com
