I read he hired someone who handles this thing all the time for guys on tour and hasnt lost one case when testosterone was the cause for the failed test so who knows.
"It's strange for me to be defending a cyclist, but you would NOT use testosterone to increase performance or improve recovery DURING a competition."
Of course, he tested positive after the stage in which he made up something like 8 minutes, so who knows.
