But you are the one without medical laboratory proof claiming that he did not have hemophilia.
There you go... passing the buck again :-)
There is no scientific laboratory proof of any kind that Alexei had hemophilia. None, Nada, Nothing.
There are no known medical records. No first-hand statements from Nicholas actually using the word hemophilia. No first-hand statements from Alexandra actually using the word hemophilia. No first-hand statements from Alexei or any of his sisters actually using the word hemophilia. Not a single one.
If there were any such quotes, we would all know exactly where to find them. All of the evidence is second and third hand hearsay... and nothing more.
The only first hand evidence that even comes close is the statement of October 1912 by Alexei's doctors that calls it only ".. a significant anemia"... and that is all there is.
The only way that you will ever have any actual scientific proof... the only way... is if the bones uncovered in Ekaterinburg test positive for evidence of a faulty Factor VIII gene.
Until that day finally comes, there is no proof. Only hearsay.
...and Hello again, Rob. ;-)

There you go again, selectively choosing what you want to read and what you "ignore" conveniently:
Spiridovitch WAS THERE IN Bielovezh and SPALA...As Chief of Personal Secret Security for the Imperial Family he was privy to everything related to Alexei's health conditions:
The Tsarevtich had climbed onto the edge of the bathtub wanting to show Derevenko how the sailors on the Standardt would jump off the side of the yacht into the sea to go swimming. He jumped and fell onto the side of the bathtub. It hurt him, but without doubt the pain was not very great because he did not say anything afterward. However, only a few minutes later, he lost conscience and they carried his nearly inanimate body to his bed.
This accident in a healthy boy would not have had any unfortunate results,
but it was for him, who suffered from hemophilia, the start of many severe complications that could never be totally healed. He was bleeding severely internally.
As always, the illness was assiduously hidden to the entourage.
***
Immediately after some bumps that he took while on a promenade in a caleche with the Empress, his health worsened. The internal bleeding was even worse, and the swelling in his groin increased in size so much so that the child was confined to his bed. He suffered incredibly. His cries and moans echoed often throughout the Palace, and his fever steadily grew. Botkin never left him for a moment, but did not know what he could do to bring him relief. His pain grew so bad that the sick child would not permit the swelling to be touched. He slept on his side, leg folded, pale, thin and never stopped moaning.
They called the surgeon Serge Petrovitch Fyedorov from Petersburg, and the old Rauchfuss. They arrived on October 4th, the night before Alexis Nicholaiovitch's Name's day. The illness got worse. October 6th, his temperature rose to over 39 degrees (102 F.) and would not go down. After a consultation, the doctors declared that that the situation was desperate. Fyedorov said that he had decided not to open the swelling, given that they would be operating on the inheritor of the throne, and the operation would bring on fatal bleeding. Only a miracle could save the child's life, he said. And when they asked him what that miracle might be, he responded by shrugging his shoulders and said that the swelling might spontaneously be reabsorbed, but that the chance of that actually happening was only less than one in a hundred.
