Swimming's governing body FINA approved several new high-tech swimsuits during an IOC meeting on Wednesday in Athens.

The new body suits from Arena, Adidas and Mizuno will all be allowed to compete with Speedo's record-breaking LZR Racer at the Beijing Olympics this summer.

"They were all in order,'" said FINA executive director Cornel Marculescu, adding that that no suit presented at the meeting was rejected. "The manufacturers know the rules now, so there were no problems."

Other manufactures eager to have their suits approved before the Beijing Games will have one final chance to do so on June 30.

Speedo first launched its LZR Racer in February, resulting in 37 world records by swimmers using the suit.

The staggering results have sparked debates with some opposing the legality of Speedo's revolutionary suit.

Italian coach Alberto Castagnetti recently equated the LZR suit to "technological doping."

American manufacturer TYR Sport also sued Speedo in May, accusing the giant swimwear brand of conspiring with the U.S. swimming federation to nullify competition and draw top American athletes away from other companies.

FINA has repeatedly defended Speedo's space-age design, which was developed in cooperation with NASA.
