I get that. I thought it was a bit of an issue at the time. While I am not going to put a gun to anyone's head here, as the witnesses will know, we have had many meetings with regard to doping. Within our deliberations during those meetings, there was a lot of talk about structure, although it was more about the structure of the IHRB than that of HRI. Will the witnesses comment on the relationship between HRI and the IHRB? It is hard to explain to laypeople who are not into racing that the IHRB is almost a subcommittee of HRI. Why is it not all the one body? Should it be one body? Should it be two completely separate entities? I will not hold anyone to their answer in the future. There was a lot of debate about the structure, the relationship and the links, or the lack thereof, between the two bodies.
