Here's a great, detailed article on testing for Testosterone.

The key takeaway is the cost of the isotope ratio test is very high. As shown in the UCI's 2012 anti-doping report, race promoters are probably not running EPO tests because of their cost. They are probably not ordering the isotope test for testosterone either.
But Ayotte said that requiring her to run IRMS tests on every sample would be impossible without doubling the size of her lab.
That's just Major League Baseball! Imagine if the IAAF did it.
