does seem like a desperate ploy

Except he won the Tour of Croatia in April.

I don't see any other stage races in his palmares. Sorry, Tour of Georgia 10 years earlier, where he beat Trent Lowe, who used to train out where I did but was just a little bit faster than me... https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-georgia/2008

Maybe, his recent win would have given him some contract power. And I imagine he would have been tested negative at the time as race leader.

Probably took more epo out of comp, during/after recovery from injury.
Out of ordinary stage win flagged extra checks and popped him at home.

EPO during winter, win ToC.

EPO supply chain monitored, targeted out-of-comp testing pings rider.
