Popov had a 21.64 from 2000 - I don't know what suit he was wearing but it might have been some type of early tech suit. Really Tom Jager's time from 89-90 where some of the most impressive times for both longevity and done well before any type of suit issue.
Jager set the record in the spring of 1990 in Nashville. There was a special long course elimantion races after the last day of the short course nationals.
There were 8 swimmers going, racing 2 at a time. Winner advanced to the next round.
Jager and Biondi faced off in the final 50 meter face. Jager went 21.81. Biondi went 21.85. They were the only two in the pool.
Popov's 21.91 at the 1992 olympics against a full field was also impressive.
Any of the guys that swam faster than popov's record don't have to prove crap. Their swims are all legit. They followed the rules, therefore their swims are better than popov's or jager's or whoever.
