    Testosterone is used during the training phase of CHEATING to increase muscle mass and help with recovery over a long period of time. It is of almost no practical use during the race phase. What he needed to help with his recovery after bonking during the 16th(?) stage was a nice infusion of his own predonated blood. Human growth hormone maybe, but no way would a dose of testosterone help him to recover overnight. Thus this seems VERY fishy. He knows he will be tested and he was tested previously when he held the yellow jersey earlier in the race. Conspiricy against the Americans?
