I could see this being an attempt to fix when he could come back from a suspension. If he is successful in getting USADA to reduce his sanction from a lifetime ban to something with a time limit on it (I saw 8 years mentioned in the WaPo piece), he might then argue that any suspension should start from that point, which would allow him to return to competition much quicker than normal. I think it's a B.S. argument, but in his situation it may be worth a shot.
