    Schubert thinks that the tech suit era records should be stricken: Should 2008-9 be remembered as swimming’s asterisk era? “The rules that were in there at that moment, we accept it,” said Uruguay’s Julio Maglione, who was elected president of FINA at Friday’s congress. “No change.” Mark Schubert, the general manager of the United States national team, disagreed. Earlier this month he said the records should be stricken because they were artificially aided. “I just don’t think we’ve been good stewards of the sport to allow what’s happened,” he said. Does that mean we would go back to pre-2000 records. How likely is this to happen and is it even possible?
