A men's synchronized swim team has been barred from a meet at Stanford University, reinforcing an International Olympics Committee decision designating the sport as women-only.
The San Francisco Tsunami Swim Club's team was set to perform an exhibition at the Federation Internationale de Natation World Masters Championships.
But the international governing body that oversees the meet scuttled the plans.
The synchro team has competed at national competitions, the Gay Games and the International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics Championships.
San Francisco Tsunami describes itself on its Web site as a gay and lesbian aquatics team that is open to all.

They didn't want the gay leapfrog team either.
Not because they are gay, but because they almost never completed a leap.

Why the need to qualify the team as 'gay'?
To: nickcarraway
The team's mascots, 'Neal and Bob', said the Tsunami were feeling much less faaabulous after hearing the international governing body's decision.

If you want a serious answer to that, it's because the individuals involved have psychological problems where they get needed attention identifying with their sexuality rather than their gender. Short and sweet.
