If you told me that by getting myself psyched up to do an extremely difficult, maybe even impossible, physical feat, and then going out and actually doing it, it could change my hormone levels (including testosterone), I'd believe you.
But I'm no endocrinologist.

There was a show on BBC that showed guys racing go carts. They measured testosterone levels during the race. The levels varied greatly in a driver depending on the position they had. The same driver who had "normal" testosterone levels when in the pack, had elevated levels when he was in the lead.

Well then, since Floyd was in the lead for most of the day that may explain it -- he just kept elevating.
This article has a doctor from WADA chiming in that Floyd's test results "don't add up"; I suppose after he made these statements [censored] Pounder probably sent him a memo that such statements are inconsistent with the witch hunt mentality he has been trying to build there.
actually, it is documented that male competitors get an approximately 10% increase after an important victory
loser's testosterone drop an average 17%
there is also observed pre-competition anticipatory increases in hormone levels. these effects are different in men and women and whether the athlete is high power (seeks to dominate the other competitors)
