FINA is the group that governs swimming. On Tuesday, its officers accepted a decision by FINA members to ban high-tech swimsuits next year. 　　

Full-body suits first appeared in the two thousand Summer Olympics. But in Rome, German swimmer Paul Biedermann said the growing attention to the issue made him mad. "It's all about the suits. It's not about the swimmer anymore."　　

He said that after he defeated American Michael Phelps in the two hundred meter freestyle. And he did it faster than the world record time Phelps set last year at the Beijing Olympics.

Biedermann wore the newest speed suit速度泳衣. Phelps wore last year's version 版本. His coach later said he would urge Phelps not to compete internationally until the ban takes effect next year. 　　

That was all Tuesday. The next day, Michael Phelps competed in the two hundred meter butterfly. Again he wore last year's Speedo Racer. This time, he not only won, he broke his own world record. 　　

Now, we turn to some other sports stories of recent days.

Buehrle pitched only the eighteenth perfect game in the history of Major League Baseball. The last one was in two thousand four. President Obama, a White Sox fan from Chicago奥巴马总统是芝加哥白袜队球迷, called to congratulate him. 　　

Four days later, baseball had another rare罕见event. Josh Willingham of the Washington Nationals hit two grand slams全垒打in one game. He became just the thirteenth Major League player ever to hit a home run全垒打with the bases loaded twice in the same game. 　　

In cycling, American Lance Armstrong announced he will return to the Tour de France环法自行车赛next year with a new American-based team以新的美国队名义. The seven-time winner competed this year on the Astana team based in Kazakhstan. 　　

Armstrong finished third last Sunday after a three-and-a-half year retirement. His Astana teammate Alberto Contador of Spain won his second Tour. Andy Schleck of Luxembourg finished second. 　　

On July nineteenth, American Tom Watson aimed to become the oldest golfer to win a major event. The oldest man so far was forty-eight year old Julius Boros in nineteen sixty-eight.
