For all you competitive swimmers...

I get that rules are rules, but is this not excessive?

" A Maryland girls swimming team has had its county championship title retroactively stripped for one of the more bizarre retroactive punishments to come down in recent years: It was deemed that improper shaving had occurred. Not shaving points mind you, but shaving of body hair. And, as it turns out, if the unnamed player implicated had only shaved a couple hours earlier, she and her teammates would still have their county title."

Thanks,

They should regulate bowel movements as well, since that could alter a swimmers weight prior to the meet, thus resulting in a higher strength to weight ratio, which will allow for greater utilization of available nutrients and oxygen by the "offending" swimmers...

That is one of the most asinine things I have ever heard of, and who in the world made the complaint?
