Rachel Meyers Pausing enrollment is the right call until they confirm the metabolite issue won't affect people.

As Russian Athletics appeals to CAS and the IOC allows some Russian participation in Los Angeles qualifiers, Coe says the path to full global participation will require resolution, while other sports have begun easing restrictions.
