Purity failure conjecture for non-special semisimple groups

Let kk be the ground field, let GG be a non-special semisimple kk-group scheme, and let XX be a smooth affine kk-variety. Purity failure conjecture. There exists a smooth affine kk-variety XX such that purity fails for

Heˊt1(X,G).\operatorname{H}^1_{\mathrm{\acute{e}t}}(X,G).

The conjecture predicts that every non-special semisimple group admits a smooth affine variety exhibiting failure of purity. The paper has already established such examples for certain groups, notably projective linear groups, but does not specify a general resolution.
