A positive test these days just means you messed up your doping procedure.... You basically get excluded for not being good enough to disguise your doping...

He accepted his wrongdoing and did not ask for a B sample," said Eric Boyer, manager of Moreni's Cofidis team.

Looks like he's admitted guilt .

Actually not. He passed the T/ET ratio test, not the Isotope test which is what it looks like was used this time. Testing other samples gave Floyd failing results on the Isotope test.
