No LZR / No Jaked / No X-Glide .. any WR since 2007 ?

If you discount the Jaked and X-Glide records, you also have to discount the LZR records, even Phelps swimming only in the legskin. So who is actually swimming "faster" than any 2007 records ?
The British Backstroker Spofforth swam more than a second faster than Coughlin wearing an LZR - she is close.
Steffen did a WR last year in the addidas suit + is more than a second faster than her own 2006 time - but it would be close.
Phelps maybe in the 200 Free - he dropped less than a second last year, but the LZR has dropped a lot more time for most swimmers - so I would say no.
For sure a very very short list ....

Agreed, it will take YEARS, maybe even decades (like Mary T's or Janet Evans') for some of these to get broken.
The Men's 200/400/(1500?) Frees come to mind. I think the men's records set in leggings only might go down by 2012.
