Because there's a much higher possibility that it'll show the same result and you will have wasted a lot of people's time, energy, and money. Most riders do test the B sample and I remember the last time I looked I found two times that an A was overturned by a B - apparently legitimate overturns as opposed to technicalities or irregular testing procedures.
