The fundamental principle of testing is to assume anyone with a rucksack is a burglar or vagrant attempting to gain entry, bop them on the nose and sit on them until the police arrive to confirm they are who they say they are. That way you stay in sight and no-one wants to volunteer to do it again

Armstrong/Astana have given a response http://www.astana-cyclingteam.com/news_press/lafrenchtest.html about this and I tend to agree about what they/he says. I'd want clarification as to who is sticking a needle into one of my veins 
Don't know if taking a shower at that time was well advised though

And here we have a story without any Lance spin:

So much spin it really is hard to see what his aims are. Maybe he doesn't want to compete in the Tour but he wants someone else to make that decision for him, this might do nicely or why else contravene a rule he must clearly know.
Maybe the crash was deliberate too as he knows he's got no chance in the Giro. Nah, surely not.
After dancing about on the fence I'm rapidly reaching the conclusion that his return is not good (watch someone quote that bit).

Going back to the article quoted in the OP I thought it was a bit of a 'change' of words for him to state "I do not use any prohibited drugs or substances" rather than he has never tested positive, which has been his general stance when asked to comment, or alternatively to state he has 'prepared' well.
I do not think he is currently using PEDs, but he will take every opportunity presented to try to highlight how he is 'picked on' just to ensure his media persona remains that of the wronged hero and to protect his image.

Now being reported on Cycling News that AFLD accoring to L'Equipe will make a decision as to whether to open proceedings in early May. Why a delay of a month?
