Good point. Biederman certainly has the record fair and square. "deserves" was probably a poor choice of word. it's just that MP's 200 was such a great swim it seems a shame to have that "cancelled" by technology.
Understood. And I am not advocating that despite his record, Biederman is the better 200M FR swimmer than Phelps. Phelps was posting otherworldly times in that event before the tech suit era. Put them head to head in a jammer or a brief, and I would always give the edge to Phelps!
(I realize some people might think that because Biederman has the record, he IS the better 200M FR than Phelps. I just think you have to look at the whole body of work, but I am not taking anything away from that world record!)
