The bottom line being:
"In other words, testosterone would not be used so much for recovery and increased work output during a single Tour stage as it would be for maintenance and improved performance over the course of the entire race."

And this matters... why?

Why don't you then punish people for using water? It has an almost immediate effect, improves performance and stamina.

If testosterone isn't being used in a manner in which it CAN cause improved performance then it isn't a performance enhancing substance.
