Surely, given the hoo haa, they could release some kind of general figure, naming no names.
Something like, since 2015 XX AAF have been returned for salbutamol and XX have not been taken forward to an ADRV after assessment of mitigating evidence provided through the standard due process.
The amount of misinformation that is out there on what AAFs are and what they mean is the biggest problem here. Its does no one any favors to be so secretive. Releasing anonymised details like this would help everyone understand how the system works. It would also allow people to review the AAF to ADRV conversion rates for different situations to hold WADA / UCI to account for how they test and whether their tests are appropriate.
It just seems like loads of this could be more publicly available, without compromising individual athletes.
