“There are massive challenges to accomplishing this goal – not the least of which are large sections of the industry that are satisfied with the current state-of-affairs – but we wanted to be in the fight to clean up the sport. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach an agreement that would allow us a reasonable chance to successfully deliver our existing gold-standard programs, including adequate testing, education, and investigative capacities. That said, we wish HISA all the best in its efforts to build a new organization with the necessary capabilities and the goal of improving the status quo in the industry.”
