It's not a mate, a coach or a sponsor, it's the person she has chosen to spend her life with. It's not "misogynistic and patriarchal" unless we assume that as a man he is speaking for her rather than as her partner who happens to be a man. I'd make the assumption that anyone of any gender who was married or in a committed partnership with Katie Compton was speaking with her agreement.
Fundamentally, it changes nothing. I don't think she is MORE likely to have doped because her husband starting throwing shit around, but neither Katie nor her husband have a single useful explanation for the positive test. Given her earlier statements about doping, she should have been smart enough to say she wasn't guilty but believed in the rules and would skip her final year.
I mean slate her all you want for the doping violation and the contents of her own statement, but I don't see a rationale for judging her by what someone else has said or for her appearance.
