LON98D:SPORT-SWIMMING-SUITS:SYDNEY,9OCT99 - FILE PHOTO 31AUG99 - Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe swims underwater whilst wearing his new full length bodysuit during an unveiling ceremony in Sydney. Swimmers will be allowed to race in full-length bodysuits after the sport's world governing body decided that the suits did not break its rules. The International Amateur Swimming Federation (FINA) had been asked by Australian head coach Don Talbot to rule on the legality of the suits because of concern that they might give extra buoyancy. dg/Photo by David Gray REUTERS
