You can't say that the suit and only the suit completely changes the sport. Based on that theory you could just throw the suit in the pool and it would set a world record without a swimmer in it.
Come on, this is ridiculous. The same swimmer expending the same amount of effort will swim faster in a Jaked versus briefs. Thus the high tech suits do change the sport, just as high tech clubs change the sport of golf.
The USGA has very specific rules on club design. Shouldn't FINA do the same thing for swimsuits? That's exactly what they've done. They've stated how much of the body can be covered by a suit and what material the suits can be made of.
