I'd dismiss it as an unconfirmed rumor, if he hadn't submitted himself to the out of competition testing protocol, just in time for the Tour of California.
Out of competition testing is a major pain. You sleep over at your Girlfriend's house, and the Testers have to be notified. No sane person would subjigate themselves to the program unless they have a definite intent to race again.
