"In Holland, you go to the doctor to request a test, and then you get permission to go to a facility, or the doctor can take your specimen for you," Overeem said. "Because that was not a full panel test, which I learned (later) because it was the first time I ever went through this procedure, we had to look for other options. Because this is the first time I've done this; I've never done a full panel steroid test in Holland, and the doctors here also did not know where we could do that. So my doctor made some calls and researched the subject. We found that we could do the testing in Germany in a laboratory, and there also it seems there were some complications.

He made it seem like the doctors in Holland weren't capable of performing the test NSAC wanted. The whole thing seems like it got blown way out of proportion though. Especially since Overeem submitted a blood test on November 23rd and that came back clean.
