The B sample did not need to be opened in order for Whyte to be suspended. Copying and pasting a quote from somebody who also got that wrong will not make you right.
Dilliian was cleared to fight because The National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) looked at evidence from both the UKAD and VADA tests and decided that there was no reason to suspend him. It had nothing to do with his B sample not being opened.
The B sample is only opened at the request of the athlete concerned. Whyte did not ask for his B sample to be opened and allowed the panel to make their decision on the basis of the evidence they already had in front of them, which he had the right to do.
