That's the traditional consensus in the industry. But fellow stewards often characterize ex-riders they work with as blindly accepting of whatever jocks say. Retirement doesn't break that bond.
Ex-athletes reluctant to criticize current players from behind the mic would serve as a similar example of kinship compromising objectivity.
