Rashi says that mei raglayim in considered tamei even if there are two reasons for safek 1) maybe it’s from an animal 2) Maybe from a person who is tahor. Generaly we know that a double safek (sfek sfeka) is permitted – why is this case different?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:
The Mishnah cites the reason of ‘Ein ladavar sof’ as the basis for not-concern with Chametz being dragged around. Why can’t we simply permit due to the fact that it is a double safek: 1) he may not have dragged 2) he may have already consumed the Chametz which he delivered?
