The issue isn’t just about what’s verifiable or not — it’s about how the system handles complaints in the first place. If an athlete feels they were treated unfairly, the burden of proof shouldn’t fall entirely on them. The lack of transparency in how testing protocols are applied, especially across different nationalities, creates a vacuum where suspicion can fester. The fact that AFLD has a policy of individualized monitoring doesn’t eliminate the possibility of bias — it just shifts the question to whether that monitoring is applied consistently. Without clear, public guidelines or oversight, the line between protocol and prejudice becomes dangerously blurred.
