FINA...in their grand wisdom, has decided NOT to make Libby Lenton's 52.99 as a world record. This has been reported the the Herald Sun out of Australia.
Once again, FINA shows that it is run by politicans, not swimmers or swimming fans.
So, Thank You FINA for once again screwing things up.

Under what gender would you classify the swimmer? Their former gender? Or does a sex-chage disqualifiy you from setting any records?
Keep in mind, NOBODY does this for the records (Atleast I really really hope not!).
Just asking, it does seem a little unfair to me as well.
See that's the problem, I don't know. Technically I guess they're a woman but they've got the attributes of a man. That almost leads me to believe that it's sort of like using steroids. But I don't think anyone gets a sex change to get Women's World records.
