So what happened to the 70K+ altitude record? I sure hope it
gets submitted to IGC. In order to deny the claim, they'll have to
assert that the recorded GPS altitude has some validity.


It's "validity" has never been denied. It's included in the recordings
of all IGC approved recorders because it is a useful measurement. What's
at issue is it's use as the _only_ altitude measurement, and in place of
the traditional measurement.
