The proper thing to do is to "reset" swimming world records back a few years, it's not really fair for men in jammers & women in knee skins to try to break records swimmers did in full body tech suits. Let's go back to WR times done by swimmers who wore qualifying suits, like Popov's 21.6 50 WR then let the breaking begin.
I really disagree with this. The world records were set in compliance with the rules at the time. It would be totally unfair to the athletes who set records in tech suits to just roll things back. You can't just wipe out a few years of swimming history like that.
