Is it possible that the dehydration and the the cumulative effects of the brutally hard riding over 23 days actually depleted the epitestosterone stores, thus increasing the Testosterone ratio?

Everyone is looking for the "added substance" but maybe the key here is what's been expended, or depleted that altered the ratio. And if that's the case, do we see this trend in other atheletes - marathoners for example?

Inquiring minds want to know.
Withim i am with you here. But that leads me to another question;
If he was extremely dehydrated, why was he drinking beer?! and later whiskey? I thought i understood that drinking Alcohol makes you even more dehydrated...
We're talking about the chance of a lifetime here, and he's drinking alcoholic beverages? true, he thought he had lost the chance.. but it still kind of surprises me that he wasn't drinking "sports drinks" that night!
