Sorry if this is overly technical, but here is the UCI code standard for positive t/e tests:

"When a laboratory has reported a T/E ratio greater than four (4) to one(1) andany reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) applied has not determined theexogenous origin of the substance, further investigation may be conducted by a
review of previous tests or by conducting subsequent test(s), in order to determine whether the result is due to a physiological or pathological condition, or has occurred as a consequence of the exogenous origin of a Prohibited Substance.
If a laboratory reports, using an additional reliable analytical method(e.g. IRMS), that the Prohibited Substance is of exogenous origin, no further investigation is
necessary and the Sample will be deemed to contain such Prohibited Substance.
When an additional reliable analytical method (e.g. IRMS) has not been applied and a minimum of three previous test results are not available, the relevant Anti-Doping Organization shall test the Athlete with no advance notice at least three
times within a three-month period. If the longitudinal profile of the
Athlete that is subject to the subsequent tests is not physiologically normal, the result shall be reported as an Adverse Analytical Finding"

In other words, if its the ratio only, there is an entire analytical process to be followed. He's not even positive yet. I suspect that in any other sport in any other country, this would not even be public knowledge at this point. They're f'in w/ our homeboy.
