Nike will allow its swimmers to wear Speedo's sleek LZR Racer instead of its own suit at the Beijing Olympics.
Nike spokesman Dean Stoyer, said yesterday the company felt it was fair to extend the offer made in June allowing its swimmers to wear Speedo suit at the U.S. Olympic trials.
"It's about putting their performance and their first goal," said Stoyan. "This is what I have trained. This is the biggest moment of their lives."
Four swimmers who signed with Nike, which has some of the strictest controls in the industry in the athlete contract agreements, are aimed at the Olympics.
Speedo's sleek LZR Racer has caused major waves this year. Since its launch in February, swimmers have broken dozens of world records and athletes not sponsored by Speedo have asked to use it.
It also caused some backlash. One Italian coach accused Speedo of technological doping. And Shooting Sport Inc. sued Speedo in May, alleged in their lawsuit that the company conspired with the U.S. swimming federation to curb competition and lure top athletes away from other sponsors.
· BASKETBALL: Yao Ming was held to 14 points and the rest of the China team was overwhelmed by dogged Australia defense in a 67-55 defeat by preheating Olympics.
Guard Liu Wei, who has worked well with Yao in Tuesday's 83-74 victory over Angola, was sent to hospital after crashing into a screen set by Australia center Chris Anstey. Liu's condition was not immediately known.
· CYCLING: Tour de France Runner-up Cadel Evans withdrew from the Games road time trial today because of a knee injury.
Evans said he would undergo treatment this week before deciding whether will travel to Beijing to contest the road race. He will be replaced in the time trial three times world champion Michael Rogers.
