The FINA rules say no but not considering the rulebook, should Libby Lenton's 52.99 go in the record books. There has been alot of debate on this in the other thread. What do you think?

Other women don't go out fast and fade at the turn? Ever?
And yet FINA rules count a lead-off for a relay that is later DQ'd. So it is not unambiguous. And the whole reason this argument exists is because many people think the "explanation" is the after the fact, because they cannot say what they want to.
I think the opinion is jerky. Not the person.
I suppose your idea is possible, but not probable.
If the entire lead off swim is legal then it should make no difference what the following swimmers do. If the anchor jumps the gun on his start how does that effect the lead swimmers time?
If my opinions are jerky then so must be I. It's okay, I don't mind...really. ;)
