It sounds rather like golf where the equipment has to be evaluated and regulated to stop technology giving players an advantage or tennis racquets or cycling.....

I don't see any issue with regulating shoes in Athletics and there is no way these recent time advancements are pure coincidence.

Obviously it's been reported that the IAAF are investigating and there is a lot of press about this topic today.

I would say that these shoes are on general sale I believe so there is nothing to stop any athlete buying a pair which will surely happen if they think there is an advantage to using them.

I guess we will just have to see what happens.
