Why must they go? The records have already been broken. Now we are talking about placing asterisks beside them. The currently available suits are not going to produce faster and faster times indefinitely. Since FINA did not step up and ban the full body suits in 2000, what they should do now is simply place restrictions on the technology.
I don't have the problem with the records staying as is. There are some records that were actually broken without a JakedArenaLZRB70 suit. Of course, who knows what was broken with what suit. You can't put an asterisk if you didn't put what suit you were going to be wearing in the entry form or told it to the timer before hand.
