在2008年北京奥运会上，身穿速比涛鲨鱼皮第四代泳衣的运动员获得了94%的游泳比赛奖牌，还打破了15项长池世界纪录。之后，全身泳衣就被禁止了。
But according to a report called Sports Engineering: An Unfair Advantage?

such bans can't avoid the fact that "technology is as much a part of an athlete's resources as nutrition, training and coaching."
这些禁令无法避免“技术和营养、训练、指导被列为运动员的资源”这一事实。
