True ... but the incident does seem to quash the argument of "why would Floyd be so stupid to take something (that supposedly wouldn't affect his 1 day performance) knowing he would be tested"
If anything ... this indicent shows that even a modicum of intelligence can't be assumed.
Simple answer: because testosterone does help.
Any reference that letting your testosterone drop to levels characteristic of post-menopausal women, something which can happen from extreme fatigue, is not detrimental to athletic performance? I keep reading this argument, and never see it backed up.

This is just one more result of the screwed up drug testing system. If the actual te ratios for every rider tested were published, no rider would continue to use testerone patches. Reports would indicate that flandis had a number of sub-positive high te ratios along with countless others.
