A San Francisco men's synchronized swimming team has been barred from a meet at Stanford University in California, 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 FINA World Masters Championships, but the international governing body that oversees the meet scuttled those plans.

San Francisco Tsunami describes itself on its Web site as a gay and lesbian aquatics team that is open to all. More than 7,000 swimmers and divers from 70 countries are slated to compete in the meet at Stanford this week. (Sirius OutQ News)
