Because he offers no facts just opinion. The same as he what he accuses others of doing and we are just suppose to take him at his word. He says and discredits existing tests as controversial, but offers no controversy. He sights hgh as being mostly undetectable and says random tests are supported, when he as an expert knows that it would do no good to use hgh weeks leading up to the fight and for the fight itself. You would need to use the stuff in a timely manner administered under control for a specific target and target date for it to do any good. This is exactly why in NSAC in have implemented testing when fighters are not in training.
Discrediting administrative agencies is misleading the point to try and have a more credible argument. When they do this and offer no facts to back up to their statements and it means nothing. Science and the implementation of technology have to be exacting and technologist and doctors also have to be exacting. When they offer things in general, it's either because they think you will not understand or they don't want you to understand. Otherwise they are very specific.
Having things both ways is a good thing, but it needs to be done when it is appropriate and not satisfy bias toward one party.
Look at Mosley's case the same drug test taken 11 times yet he was never caught. And it was in fact during a fight in Vegas he admitted to using PEDs, yet still passed this test should be taken into account.
I am not saying the doctor is absolute in his conviction, but he has a point.
And as I said before there is no harm in the extra test.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
