    Since testosterone is a naturally occurring hormone I assume a positive test simply means you have a level that wouldn't have occurred naturally, correct? I believe that they initially look at the testosterone:epitestosterone (T:E) ratio. If that ratio is several times higher than expected (to account for individual variability), they look for the presence of exogenous testosterone.
