During a press conference Noakes' lawyer, Adam Pike, said it was not easy to find local experts.
"When we started fishing around for experts to assist, there was not a refusal but a reluctance to step into this arena because obviously one wouldn't want to open oneself up to a similar charge of providing unconventional advice and be seen doing that,'' said Pike.
"This is a great testing ground to ventilate the science, talk about the issues and actually just have a debate.''
