I just love how a day after most media sources know better, they still say he tested positive for a "high level of testosterone" when that is factually incorrect. Far be it from the media to report the facts. /end rant

Anyway, the test can show doping because if you have a high level of testosterone, but a normal level of epi, you almost certainly doped. If your body does for some reason pump out extra testosterone, a higher level of epi is also to be expected (or so I've heard). They basically use the test to try to weed out those testees (**snicker**) who naturally have a high testosterone level.
