Ah well, it's USA Today, so I suppose that's to be expected.
I did search around a bit, and found more pics of him, including a couple of him in an earlier version of the body speedo. I also found a pic of him bulging nicely in a light gray body speedo, but I can't post the link because there are a couple of teenagers in the background.

Having looked at several pics of him, I have to say that in some pics he looks really good, in others he's kind of funny-looking. The pic of him in the LZR body suit is not a very good pic of him. Maybe it's the lighting or something, but I think he's kind of funny-looking in that pic. I also think the suit itself is kind of funny-looking. The only thing I like about it is how revealing it is.

I'm not sure I follow you there. How so?
