Those trials would end in out of court settlements anyway especially if an athlete who sues USTF would be suspended during a course of such trial (which makes sense since USTF would be treated as employer - isn't that what Jess Varnish argued vs British Cycling in the UK trial?).

 

Plus Nike (or any other sponsor) would probably pay enough money under the table for those #5 & #6 relay hopefuls so they don't file a case and block Richardson's place in the relay. Most things in USA usually come down to money in the end.

Not sure they would. In the UK Jess Varnish got direct funding from UK Cycling - in the USA athletes are not paid by the governing bodies ,

Probably just the pundit’s opinion. I can’t remember what he said about podium protests and the controversy  regarding Sun Yang in 2019 and Effimova and Herasimenia in 2016.
