I get your point, but he hasn’t been caught with a car boot full of banned substances, nor has his blood been found in a clinic in Madrid. He’s seemingly over done his asthma medication, and, under due process, has the right to demonstrate how that happened.
He’s in a no win situation, if he races he’s condemned, if he took a voluntary suspension until he was cleared or banned, he’d be condemned.

Of course.
My thought would be if lots of people have gone through this non publicly, I think we might have heard from them by now.
In his interview where he says he hasn’t broken any rules I find his stance unhelpful. Of course if he would take another approach he might appease me but maybe others would be more doubtful.
I don’t think his interviews have really been that good, he doesn’t come across to me as being very transparent about the situation.

The language he is using will potentially bite him on the backside.
Aren’t we a bit bored of the I’m different excuse from every athlete that tests positive, all vow to clear their name. Of course some do but it seems to me as a layman that more don’t.
By going this route it raise the stakes, of he is proven guilty in my opinion it further tarnishes sport.
