It’s fair to say there’s a conflict of interest here. The Hi-Ground partnership simply provides a way to legitimise research aimed at furthering commercial interests. He's also leveraged this partnership to create his Steroid QNECT initiative.
Feel free to go down the rabbit hole yourself, but the relationships here are pretty telling -
PED Test promotes Dr. Tim's research (usually through social media).
Dr. Tim is a guest author on PED Test's blog:
https://evolutionary.org/coaching-testing-and-harm-reduction-preliminary-thoughts-and-insights/
A researcher with a PhD would surely give their product credibility.
PED Test promotes Roidsafe:
https://evolutionary.org/roidsafe-telehealth-clinic-another-option-for-getting-bloods-done/
Roidsafe promotes PED Test:
https://evolutionary.org/understanding-peds-and-testing/
It carries on, but that's quite the feedback loop.
What's more important to note here is that the three have now formalised this alliance with the launch of their premium subscription newsletter, Anabolica:

The Steroid QNECT initiative, Hi-Ground research, the blog posts - it's all about promoting safer practices within the community, right? I wonder whatproductssafe practices they'll be promoting in thismarketingeducational newsletter?
So if the motive wasn't clear before, it certainly is now: perpetuate fear, secure government funding, maximise profits.
Harm minimisation?
Profit maximisation!
It would be interesting to know how their equity is split- it would at least give us insight into who the head honcho is. My guess is that Dr. Tim is the one with the brains, James (Roidsafe) contributes the business acumen, and Alison (PED Test) is simply a pawn.
The fact is, Dr. Tim stands to gain a lot more by producing half-baked reports that portrays PEDs in the worst way possible.
The more prevalent the harm, the bigger the grants and demand for test kits. He's already received $4.5 million in grants for his research on harm reduction:

His PhD is in psychology. What else qualifies him for this research? Even if we give him the benefit of the doubt and consider the extent of his expertise in this field by taking a look at some of his research:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Piatkowski T&cauthor_id=39405812
53 publications but only two of his papers discuss the psychological effects of PED use? Interesting.

Also worth pointing out their mission statement:
The statement itself is disingenuous as it describes the the three as collaborators instead of its founders. There is also a hidden subscription page that reveals their intention to offer paid content once they have collected enough subscribers to up-sell to:

Ventures like this prioritise business interests over education. While there is certainly nothing wrong with starting a business - especially if people are willing to pay for the services being sold - there is something wrong when a business presents itself as being focused on harm reduction while actually prioritising profit. This is when it becomes important to question their true motives.
