The incredible exploding swimming costume

There is something about the phrase "Italian female swimmers costume bursts open" that just grabs the attention isn't there? Apparently, 22 year old athlete Flavia Zoccari was about to compete in a swimming event at the Mediterranean Games when her swimming costume split open. For this, she was disqualified. At a time athletes are being caught doping and cheating, it seems mean spirited to disqualify someone because their costume split.
