THE Danish Swimming Federation just released a statement protesting what it calls &#8220;unjust and unequal treatment during the first session&#8221; of the 2012 London Olympics. <\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the finish of the women&#039;s 400 freestyle relay qualifying heats, the Danish Swimming Federation officially protested to FINA what it feels is unjust and unequal treatment of the Danish team in the ready room area due to cap approval procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The Danish Swimming Federation claims that ready room staff asked for its relay to turn its TYR-sponsored caps inside out, even though it claims that several other countries like Switzerland and Germany have used an identical cap without a request to turn them inside out. The Danish team completed the heat with spare caps that had no logo from a manufacture, and qualified for the final. <\/p>\n<p>The Danish Swimming Federation further claims that FINA&#039;s official response regarding the protest is that &#8220;that the swimwear&#039;s rules have been consistently applied&#8221;.  The Federation goes on to state that it &#8220;is very critical towards the system of checking whether caps and goggle are approved by FINA. FINA must establish a fair and transparent system of checking whether the goggles and caps used by the swimmers are approved. A manufacturer logo as approval sign is not sufficient.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Danish Swimming Federation further urges &#8220;FINA to follow only the rules set-up by IOC for allowing which caps and goggles can be used. And then for future to set-up a clear and transparent system for checking exactly which goggles and caps are approved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div><object style=\"width:420px;height:282px\" ><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/static.issuu.com\/webembed\/viewers\/style1\/v2\/IssuuReader.swf?mode=mini&amp;embedBackground=%23000000&amp;backgroundColor=%23222222&amp;documentId=120727174606-b2a7ded0a7484b29847dfee76576f642\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"menu\" value=\"false\"\/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"\/><\/object><\/p>\n<div style=\"width:420px;text-align:left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/issuu.com\/swimmingworld\/docs\/2012swmolympicpreview?mode=window&amp;backgroundColor=%23222222\" target=\"_blank\">Open publication<\/a> &#8211; Free <a href=\"http:\/\/issuu.com\" target=\"_blank\">publishing<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/issuu.com\/search?q=michael%20phelps\" target=\"_blank\">More michael phelps<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>You can download, read, and save this special issue by <a href=http:\/\/magazines.swimmingworld.com:9997\/SW\/MagazinePDF\/2012SWMOlympicPreview.pdf target=_blank>clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full wall-to-wall coverage, including photo galleries, athlete interviews, recaps and columns are available at the Event Landing Page.
