WHAT'S THE SPEEDO LIMIT? COMPANY SHOULD GET PUB IN PROMO

          Speedo Int'l said yesterday that it will make its new
     "high-tech ... controversial neck-to-ankle" swimsuit, called
     "Fastskin," available free to "all competitive swimmers,"
     after "allegations" from some "Olympic-bound competitors"
     that Speedo-sponsored swimmers would have an "unfair
     advantage by wearing the suit during the Olympic season,"
     according to James Christie of the Toronto GLOBE & MAIL. 
     Christie writes that the "giveaway could cost" Speedo
     between C$2-4M worth of the product, but the "advertising
     value is priceless," as the "competitors' clotheshorses want
     to try" the suits because "they've heard anecdotal reports"
     that they "allow" swimmers to make a 3% improvement in their
     times (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 3/29).
