"Just so I would know in my mind what the difference was," Bowman said. "But then I said, no, once he finds out, it might just create a conflict."
Schubert used the word "chaos" to describe the atmosphere at the meet.
"I had a girl come up to me today and say, 'I've just had it,' " he said. "Will you please go buy me this suit?' Running around like chickens with their heads cut off."
"It's reminiscent of this pool in 1994 and that was really when the biggest issue was made about drugs. Now the biggest issue is being made about [the] suit and saving our sport from not going in the wetsuit direction."
