He likely would not have been tested stage 18 as he was third overal behind Oscar and Carlos and well back of the breakaway so he wouldn't be tested for the stage. He would have been tested after stage 19 after he re-took the lead.
And yes, testosterone is metabolised quickly enough that if Floyd did use testosterone on stage 17 and those figures are correct, he was only about 40 minutes away from a negative test.
