I was watching the TiVo'ed U20 meet last night, and happened to notice in the upper left corner an apology for the loss of commentary. It was at the moment I realized why the last few minutes had been so pleasant.

It is an opinion piece rather than a balanced, considered article.

It's clearly an opinion piece with, as you say, a predetermined agenda.
The whole DSD in sports is hot-button now and we'll see plenty more.
