For Froome's stuff, can it be administered differently to have different/better effects?

In other words can the TUE be a false flag to hide illegitimate use of a similar/same drug?

The example I can think of is that the positive indicator for testosterone use flags you for two possible conditions - testosterone use or testicular cancer. So if someone tests positive for test, they could say they have testicular cancer, sit out a bit, have a magical recovery beating cancer, and get back to racing. The testicular cancer would hide the test positive.
