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?

Warren I have watched that race 20 times I can not see any evidence of drafting. She is not close enough after the dive and she is off the center lane marker (line on the bottom) no more than 8 inches at any time during her swim. The lane ropes were working well eliminating any wash. I even put it into my Dartswim swim analysis swim program which slows every thing down to a crawl.
