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."


Isn't this what everyone has been saying for over a year?

Not everyone. There is a significant minority that believes drugs to be
magic. They don't necessarily agree on which particular drug is the magic
one. That's pretty much a "flavor of the week" thing.

Floyd could have been using T even on the days he tested clean. Perhaps an
error in the masking protocol revealed the T. It's naive to think that
someone used "X" on a certain occasion and got caught. For the folks who are
serious about this there is a lot more to performance enhancing chemistry
than just popping a chemical on a whim.
