Leyton Orient's chairman says they "can't be punished" after Tuesday's Carabao Cup tie against Tottenham was called off because a number of O's players have coronavirus.
This season, English Football League clubs do not have to do mandatory coronavirus tests on players and staff.
"If I was doing this again I would not do the testing," Orient chairman Mark Travis told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"This is an incentive not to test and that is bad for football and bad for health and safety."
League Two side Orient have been doing medical questionnaires every morning and said they would pay for testing to be done before Tuesday's cup tie, but Premier League opponents Spurs offered to cover the cost.
