Has This Ever Happened Before?

TYR to Speedo, USA Swimming, Mark Schubert, & Erik Vendt: “We’ll see you in court”

Someone’s a little upset it seems. Do swimwear companies usually sue their former sponsored athletes, rival companies, and governing bodies? If I had to guess, I’d say no. However, I’ve been wrong before.

TYR doesn’t like what USA Swimming (Mark Schubert) is doing re: pushing Speedo products. They’re also playing the role of jilted ex and are “in a fight with” Erik Vendt for leaving the company in favor of Speedo suits.

Read alllllllll about it at Swimming World Magazine and the LA Times.

I guess everything’s all gravy with Larjo’s departure since he isn’t being sued.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m at a loss for words. Wow. Just wow.
