Read the evidence

Reports and observations.

A little context makes a small research sample more useful—and less easy to overread.

01 / Report date

When the source published

The date labels the cited report. It does not confirm what is happening with an athlete today or when they may return.

02 / Audience measure

Observation, not explanation

Change compares observed Instagram counts closest to seven days before and after publication, each within three days. The dates shown are actual observations. Missing data and comparisons spanning known platform cleanups stay unavailable. Increases and decreases do not establish a cause.
