Actually, couldn't be further from the truth. Tech suits came along before 15 years ago. You have previously stated you have never been a competitive swimmer so your assertions here are not fact nor experienced based. Swimmers have always had meet suits as far back as I can remember.
Hey Aquageek
Your memory must be affected by amnesia. The so called "Meet Suits" were nothing more than commercial off the shelf racing briefs that were sold at all sports stores.
As one other comment suggested, why not put an asterisk next to all the WRs set in tech suits to indicate that the swimmer was in fact "mechanically dopped"? :dedhorse:
