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?

If a swimmer swam a time trial 100 and a swimmer in the next lane swam a 70 as fast as possible to provide a draft and then slowed down but finished and the first swimmer broke the WR,wouldn't FINA count it?
What self respecting swimmer would want a record like that? I am sure there would be some controversy but it could very well be a legitimate WR.
