AIU, Athletics Integrity Unit, is relatively new and is independent of WADA actually! what's been stated of this particular case appears to be fair play so far on the institution side

yea, just seems like typical bureaucratic sprawl for no justifiable reason tbh but the logic is that WADA sets the standards while AIU enforces them, so there should be a wall between the two
