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?

Rules are always open to interpretation by people, hence the need for lawyers, The Supreme Court, Circuit Courts of Appeals, etc. FINA is no different. There are rules that can be argued in various fashions by various people. If the rules that govern our nation are not cut and dry then I would certainly not expect the rules for something as insignificant (relatively speaking) as swimming to be either. As long as people are involved there will be conflicts.
