I'm a numbers guy. Fractions don't mean anything unless you know the numerator and the denominator and you have something to compare them to. Floyd said today on ESPN radio that his testosterone was normal and his epitestosterone was very low resulting in the offending test ratio of 11-1.Mass spec works best when peak heights are compared relative to one another resulting in a ratio, rather than as a quantifying device unless the run is carefully calibrated against standards of known concentration. Since the test test is a test of ratios, they probably didn't run a quantification standard. Even the isotope test is a test of ratios, heavy isotope versus light isotope. I believe the cutoff for endogenous testosterone is anything below 3 parts per million, which is easy to quantify by setting the right Y axis scale.
