Gonna go out on a limb and suggest that this is something that PTO needs to grab ownership of. Can’t leave it in the hands of the commercial entérites (IM, SLT) and the IOC/NGBs aren’t going to care about this group of athletes as a whole. PTO also has the most interest in ensuring a fair process to protect athletes accused of doping AND maintaining the level playing field by rooting out drug cheats.

I mean definitely, it was sorta part of the pitch of the PTO. They just have, like, a lot of steps to get through first, most importantly viability.
