Speed Skater Shani Davis Claims Under Armour Speedsuit In 2014 Olympics Was ‘Defective’

Two-time Olympic gold medalist speed skater Shani Davis claimed in a Q&A on his website that the Under Armour competition suit he used during a disappointing 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi was “defective.”

Davis’ mother, Cherie, also filed an ethics complaint last month against U.S. Speedskating and the U.S. Olympic Committee regarding Under Armour’s controversial Mach 39 suit, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Davis at one time was the big name wearing the high-tech suit that was supposed to make speed skaters more aerodynamic, but more than two years later, he is tweeting about his grievances.
