Because its a supernormal amount of testing that has never been asked for... ever.

Some people actually do things and enjoy having predefined rules. Why don't they just schedule a match with lead weights in their wraps since if the other guy has to do it its fine, right?
Do any of you people who talk about HGH even realize what stuff does? You'd be far better off just pumping more of your own blood into yourself on fight night and running basic steroids + masking/cleansing agent that isn't being tested for.
Furthermore, the Olympics are the most drugged out competition short of pure strength sports. There is no real advantage to having testing at that level except for the fact that you can't take the most ridiculous of drugs and now have to show a cursory bit of intelligence and hire a doctor. The problem lies in people thinking that Olympic level testing will ensure purity of sport, whereas we're talking about from the goal line to the 1 yard line.
