What would have to happen naturally in the body for it to look like you cheated in sports/took pills?


I noticed how the tour de france winner supposedly has too much testosterone, when tested. I know lots of sports test competitors for steroids, hormones, etc. Well, what sorts of things could happen in the body (as many as examples as you know) for an athlete to appear to have taken some sort of enhancement, but he didn’t? In other words, if we have a superman type guy, who’s way physically superior to the other guys, to most humans, how could his natural body chemistry make it appear that he is cheating, if he were blood tested? (the type of answers I’m looking for, for example: the body could naturally make unusual amounts of testosterone; the body’s X levels would be off). Thanks so much. This is for a work of fiction, so you can give me examples of physical states that would be very unusual or impossible in the real world, as long as they are theoretically possible.
