We are reaching out to FINA now to enter into such a binding agreement. If FINA truly means what it said, then FINA will readily cooperate,\u201d said <strong>Konstantin Grigorishin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, FINA\u2019s supposed change of heart still does not address the real financial harm FINA caused to swimmers and the ISL by forcing the cancellation of the Turin Event, and then copying the ISL\u2019s team competition model in a further FINA effort to quash competition that benefits swimmers and fans alike.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of yesterday\u2019s promise that it will behave correctly and legally in the future, FINA must agree to legally enforceable terms that assure a level competitive playing field and that atone for the wrongs FINA already committed.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u2014 The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with the ISL<\/i><i>.
