TYR is suing him and USA Swimming over this.

This has happened before when Libby Trickett (nee Linton) swam under 0:53 in the 100 free beside Michael Phelps which was eventually disallowed. By that time she had already collected the $10,000 or $20,000 prize money for setting a world record (repayment of which I believe was waived).Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382394444040541428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35127774.post-28226863230579608952008-04-10T22:27:00.000-07:002008-04-10T22:27:00.000-07:00An interesting point and well made.
