Why did Stadnyk refuse to get measured by Guiness' for world's tallest person?

Question

Now the world's tallest person is reverted to China's Bao Xishun. I just don't understand his reasoning. Even his doctor vouched for his height, but according to Guiness rules he has to be measured by an official representative. I feel that placing a record that is false distorts the title altogether. Maybe I am taking this too seriously.

Answer 1

Just because he happens to be tall, no one can force him to compete for the title.
