Do we know that he is truly clean? Many claim natty, but dope, they just know how to time their cycles or use masking agents to pass the tests. Tests are always playing catch up. Remember Lance Armstrong was the most tested athlete and he passed all the tests, but he had to eventually confess.
Maybe he isn’t, but there wouldn’t be a point; if everyone else is doping, it wouldn’t be cheating for him to do so. I’m not saying he isn’t, just that there wouldn’t be a point to hiding it.
There’s a big financial/career motive here. Race winners were paid something like $250K, and if you broke a clean world record you got a $1 million bonus.
You dope to win the money. You can win because the best athletes are largely still competing in tested games. You say you’re clean so you can potentially get back in to competitions with testing and make more money.

Are… Are they testing them to check they’re not enhanced at the enhanced games?
Hiding it in this case seems to be just saying you’re not doping? Since there’s no reason to be doing tests in an event where it’s ok to dope?
It is funny to hide it
he openly declared from the start he planned to not be drugged to the gills and was apparently tested 11 times to prove it by the USADA
