This argument assumes that you believe that current-day testing is likely to catch even a decent percentage of current-day cheaters.
Barry Bonds never failed a test. Marion Jones never failed a test. Ben Johnson was perhaps the most-doped athelete of all time, to the point that his eyes turned orange. He was passing tests for years until he got careless and failed one.
Sorry, "he never failed a test" isn't enough these days. Sad, and unfair to the clean atheletes, but still true.
