Poll: should Libby Lenton have the record

Dorothy the meet was sanctioned apparently. If it was not everyone who competed should be banned from swimming if FINA held to rules. From what I understand from the first page of the other thread, the meet may have been sanctioned, but lead-off of a mixed relay is not an eligible event for a world record? I don't have a FINA rule book. I have a USA rule book, just got it in the mail last week, and there is a list of rules for what can be considered a record. I am curious if they said before the swim that this could not count as a record, or was it all debated after the fact. Remember a few years ago some Masters records were broke out East and then they found the pool was too short. Zip went those records. I still feel if there was a rule in place that says the lead-off cannot be counted, than it should not count. If the rule is ambiguous, then someone better be looking at it and rewriting it and it should be clear to all swimmers BEFORE the swim that a world record is not at stake.
