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?).

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.

@Sindo @hckošice Could you move last two pages from this thread to doping and bans thread? It's not disscussion about swimming anymore in that case...
