I do find it interesting that FINA is involving itself in a SCY event. All I know about FINA and SCY is that they don't keep SCY records. Does FINA even recognize SCY in it's rules? Do they recognize it as a legitimate competition? If not, is Armstrong really competing as far as FINA is concerned?
I think this is a total red herring. If FINA is the governing body for swimming, they're the governing body for swimming. The fact they don't recognize SCY competition as far as records, etc. doesn't mean it's outside their purview as the governing body for swimming.
