If my French reading skills are correct (no guarantee) L'Equipe is reporting that the positive test was by Cristian Moreni of the Cofidis team for testosterone.

This is what Velonews has

5:49 PM Wait...
The news from the UCI. The governing body of cycling reports that Cristian Moreni was the rider who tested positive for a skewed testosterone/epitestosterone ratio. The Cofidis rider tested positive after stage 11's ride into Montpellier on July 19.

I wasn't reading really closely and I thought at first that you said "Moroni" tested positive.

He did seem to be glowing as of late. The statuesque form should have been a dead giveaway, too.

They test cyclists to see if they have testosterone? That explains a lot.

No, the French are tested to see if they have any at all.
