I recall from the loooooooooong testimony in the Landis affair, but perhaps incorrectly, that _exogenous_ testerosterone is not produced by the body, but is from an outside source. Then, I read today in Cycling News :
"Matxin [Saunier Duval DS] noted the existence of a certificate from the UCI that confirms the Spaniard naturally produces high values of exogenous testosterone."
Could that simply mean that the carbon isotope ratio he naturally produces mimics the profile of a person who has an intake of external sources of testosterone ? -- Sandy -- Ce message, issu de l'agriculture biologique, a été rédigé avec des électrons recyclés.

dumbass,
i suppose that's what that statement means, but the info on cyclingnews is also frequently garbled.

I think it more likely means that a DS (aka: coach) isn't reliable in the correct use of technical terms.

It's laughs like this that keep the fans coming back for more.

Carbon isotope ratios commonly used for determining "real" and "fake" hormones have to take into account the diet of the person being tested. Europeans generally have a significantly different diet and hence carbon isotope ratio than North Americans.
So it is possible for a person's own testosterone to test with ratios sufficiently like exogenous hormones to test positive.
