    So his T:E ratio was only skewed on that one test then ? Or it wasn't skewed but they tested for external testosterone ? Sorry for all the questions , you are been very helpful , maybe you can point me to a website where I could read this all myself ?

    They only do the test for exogenous testosterone if your T:E ratio is above 4:1 (I think) but apparantly it's quite easy to keep the ratio in check.

    The USADA requested 7 remaining B samples were tested before the case, specifically for exogenous testosterone and I believe they all showed it was present.

  • yes that last test was out, the TE levels in his other tests were wthin limits, and as a result of the dodgy test they retested the other tests for artificial tesosterone, which it appears came up positive.
