I'm sure you're right. And of course it's cheating. They're taking illegal and/or banned substances. Testing doesn't catch all cheaters. Or else every cyclist in the Tour might have been thrown out. They're cheaters nonetheless.

Formerly undetectable and so called "legal" supplements such as THG (The Clear) by Balco were at one time not banned substances either. The can't be banned if you don't know they exist.

Taking prohibited substances or following prohibited methods, without an approved Therapeutic Use Exemption is, well, prohibited. There is no legal blood/urine threshold for most banned substances. For example taking any anabolic agents are prohibited, regardless of dosage.
