游泳比賽，泳衣暴露也算犯規？！
大家都知道，游泳運動員的泳衣都是剪裁合身、用料講究的。泳衣質量或多或少會影響到游泳選手的表現。為了減少與水的摩擦力，有些款式的泳衣，暴露皮膚的面積較大，那也是合理之中。

不過，美國阿拉斯加州的17歲高中生游泳運動員佈雷肯⋅威利斯（Breckynn Willis），卻被指責泳衣過於“暴露 ”，而在獲勝後被裁判取消資格。裁判的理由是，她看到該學生游泳時“屁股碰到屁股”（butt cheek touching butt cheek） 。而這件游泳衣是學校游泳隊提供的。
A high school swimmer in Alaska had her 100-meter freestyle victory overturned after a referee determined she committed a “uniform violation” when her swimsuit revealed too much of her backside.
阿拉斯加一名高中游泳運動員在100米自由泳比賽中獲勝，卻由於她的泳衣暴露了太多的臀部，裁判判定她違反了“制服規定”，她的勝利被推翻了。
According to the Anchorage Daily News, the swimmer from Dimond High School competed in four events at the meet on Friday, but was disqualified in only one. A meet official said the referee who disqualified the girl said she could see “butt cheek touching butt cheek.”
據《安克雷奇新聞日報》報道，這位來自戴蒙德高中的游泳運動員在上週五的比賽中參加了四項比賽，但只有一項被取消了資格。一名比賽的官員表示，取消這名女孩比賽資格的裁判説，她看到女孩游泳時能“屁股碰屁股”。

安克雷奇學區本週二表示，他們將努力扭轉該名學生被取消資格的情況 ，以及取消這名裁判的資格。
It said the referee’s decision was “targeted based solely on how a standard, school-issued uniform happened to fit the shape of her body.”
聲明稱，裁判的決定“僅僅是基於一件標準的校服如何碰巧適合她的體型。”
“We cannot tolerate discrimination of any kind, and certainly not based on body shape,” the district said in a statement to the newspaper.
“我們不能容忍任何形式的歧視，當然更不能容忍基於體型（的歧視），”該學區在給《安克雷奇新聞日報》的一份聲明中説。

根據美國高中協會聯合會的規定，男生必須遮住臀部，女生必須遮住臀部和胸部 。
School district officials said the disqualified swimmer was wearing an “approved, school-issued suit” during the meet.
學區官員表示，這名被取消資格的游泳運動員在比賽中穿着“經批准的學校發放的游泳衣”。
The school district also vowed to try to change that rule, saying it was “ambiguous and allows the potential for bias.”
該學區還誓言要嘗試改變這一規定，稱其“模稜兩可，可能存在偏見”。

學區很快就對裁判的裁決提出了上訴 。

與此同時，那名裁判的決定也遭到了該地區另一名教練的抨擊 。
“This young lady and her sisters are being targeted not for the way they wear their suits but for the way those suits fit their curvier, fuller figured bodies,” West High coach Lauren Langford wrote in a blog post Monday.
“這名女孩和她的姐妹們之所以成為攻擊目標，不是因為她們穿衣的方式，而是因為這些泳衣適合她們更豐滿、更有曲線的身材，”West High的教練勞倫⋅蘭福德週一在一篇博客中寫道。
“If lots of girls are wearing them, and they’re cut in a way that is ‘immodest,’ why has only one swimmer been disqualified?”
“如果很多女孩都穿着這些泳衣，而且這些泳衣的剪裁‘不得體’，為什麼只有一名游泳運動員被取消資格?”

學區提出上訴後，阿拉斯加學校活動協會（Alaska School Activities Association）站在了學區一邊。
The school district appealed the ruling, and the Alaska School Activities Association sided with the district, finding that rules require that the coach be notified of illegal attire before the heat or dive — and in this case, that did not happen.
學區對裁決提出上訴，阿拉斯加學校活動協會站在了學區一邊，發現規定要求在比賽或入水前，教練應被告知着裝不合法——而在本案中，這種情況沒有發生。
“All evidence gathered, including the statement provided by the official, indicated the official did not notify the coach prior to disqualifying the student,” the Alaska School Activities Association said in a statement.
阿拉斯加學校活動協會在一份聲明中説：“所有收集到的證據，包括這名官員提供的聲明，都表明這名官員在取消這名學生的資格之前沒有通知她的教練。”
The disqualification was made in error and is being overturned, it said, and “all team and individual points shall be restored to both the individual swimmer and the Dimond High School Swim team."
聲明説，這一取消資格的決定是錯誤的，並正在被駁回，“所有團隊和個人積分，都將恢復給她本人和她所在的戴蒙德高中游泳隊。”
